In a world where public declarations of love often grab headlines, some celebrity couples choose to keep their relationships blissfully under the radar. Here are a few famous duos who’ve mastered the art of keeping it low-key.
ZAKES BANTWINI & NANDI MADIDA
This power couple exudes talent and class, yet they prioritise family and professional partnerships over publicising their love life. Zakes, a Grammy-winning musician, and Nandi, a singer and TV personality, are the epitome of grace under the spotlight. They occasionally bless fans with glimpses of their love story but never overdo it – proving that in a world of oversharing, privacy is the ultimate flex.

EVA MENDES AND RYAN GOSLING
Eva and Ryan are Hollywood royalty who’ve been together since 2011, but you wouldn’t know it from their public appearances – or lack thereof. The couple, who share two daughters, rarely step out together or even acknowledge their relationship in interviews. Their approach? Let the love speak for itself. Ryan's heartfelt shout-out to Eva in his award speeches is about as public as it gets, leaving us swooning and curious.

BONKO KHOZA AND LESEGO CHABEDI
Bonko Khoza, beloved for his role in The Wife, and his real-life wife, Lesego, are equally private. They let Bonko’s on-screen romance do the talking while keeping their personal love story just that – personal. Their occasional subtle nods to each other remind us that privacy and romance can go hand-in-hand.

KERRY WASHINGTON AND NNAMDI ASOMUGHA
The Scandal star and her former NFL player husband have been married since 2013, and they’ve stayed firmly under the radar ever since. Rarely spotted together, Kerry and Nnamdi are proof that a high-profile career doesn’t have to come with an equally public relationship.

ISSA RAE AND LOUIS DIAME
Issa Rae is the queen of surprises – case in point: her stunning Instagram wedding post that broke the internet in the classiest way possible. Before that, most fans had no idea she was even dating someone, let alone tying the knot. To this day, Issa and Louis keep their relationship out of the spotlight, making them one of the most low-key couples in Hollywood.
