Don Cheadle got married during virus shutdown

Don Cheadle revealed that he got married during the coronavirus pandemic.

The actor appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Wednesday, where he told guest host Wanda Sykes that he and his longtime girlfriend, Bridgid Coulter, are now married.

Sykes said that when Cheadle told her personally over text last year, she was shocked.

“I was like, ‘What the hell happened, man?’ I think I just text something back, like, ‘Hey, if you’re happy, I’m happy for you.’ I was like, ‘Cheadle went Hollywood.’ ”

Cheadle replied, “Yeah, I mean, that’s understandable given that we’ve been together 28 years before we got married. I hold you blameless.”
