Branagh's Secret Wedding

Kenneth Branagh has wed girlfriend Lindsay Brunnock in a intimate ceremony.

According to Branagh's publicist, the couple tied the knot at a "small, private" ceremony at the weekend.

The 42-year-old actor has not given out any further details

A friend of the actor told The Daily Mail: "Kenneth and Lindsay really wanted to keep this day private."

"Kenneth hates the whole showbiz lifestyle of constant parties and just wants to keep this relationship as intimate as possible."

He and his new bride are now enjoying their honeymoon at an undisclosed location.

Branagh started dating art director Brunnock two years ago on the set of the Channel 4 drama Shackleton.

He is famously reluctant to discuss his private life and has never spoken about the relationship.

It is the second marriage for Harry Potter star Branagh - his first, to actress Emma Thompson, ended in 1996.

He then had a long romance with Frankenstein co-star Helena Bonham Carter but they split in 1999.
