Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham quietly took a major step forward in their relationship.

During a recent interview with Esquire, Edwards, 59, revealed that he and Winningham, 62, privately eloped last year. The Inventing Anna actor said the intimate ceremony was "just the two of them and an old friend to officiate."

"We're too old to throw weddings," Edwards told the publication before praising Winningham. "She's just spectacular. She's an amazing singer and she's a wonderful actress and she's an incredible person."

Edwards and Winningham — both of whom starred in Miracle Mile in 1986 — had been friends for several years before eventually getting together. Their romance became serious in 2020 when they both began living in New York City at the same time.

Previously, Edwards opened up to Fox News about how the couple grew closer during the coronavirus lockdown period.

"We've been having incredible walks," he said in April 2020. "We have a family staying with us with a young child, our godson, who's only 19 months old, so we've formed this group for the last five weeks."

"It's been really nice to get into some different rhythms and also use technology as we're using today to connect with people," he added. "We're trying to prioritize what is important to this life when we're realizing how fragile it is when a pandemic can come in and take so many of us so quickly."

Edwards and Winningham are no strangers to married life. The ER alum has four children with now-ex-wife Jeanine Lobell, whom he was married to from 1994 to 2015.

As for Winningham, the Dopesick actress has three previous marriages: Jason Trucco (2008 - 2012), William Mapel (1982 - 1996) and A Martinez (1981 -1982). She also shares five children with Mapel.

I sat next to her on a flight about 10 years ago, she was absolutely lovely. I don't think anyone else but me knew who she was. She was just so nice and upbeat, joking with the flight attendants, etc. I remember that I was reading David Sedaris "Naked" and kept laughing to myself. At one point she said, if you finish this book before this flight is over, I'm stealing it, because I am laughing just hearing you quietly giggle. I finished the book, and gave it to her. It was a fun exchange.

Well, his transformation over 30 years is more shocking than Val Kilmer's, Brendan Fraser's and James Spader's. I don't know who she is (or was).

They do have unfortunate names; his blandness made me think he could equally be 'Edward Anthony'; her name reminds me of a female horse whinny-ing.

I remember when St. Elmo's Fire came out and Mare was the real outlier of the group as she was married with children while her Brat Pack peers were partying it up. I was with my mom at an ice cream parlour off Bleaker Street about tne years ago and we spotted Mare. My mom must have given it away with her facial expression that she recognized her, because Mare gave her a dirty look. I figure she was having a bad day, but my mom never forgave her. Though, to be fair, my mother had always had a crush on Tom Hanks and thought Mare wasn't attractive enough to be his love interest in Turner and Hooch.
