It's only been a year since our hearts broke with news that Benedict Cumberbatch was taken, and now he's gone and got hitched.

Benedict, 38, wed theatre director Sophie Hunter on Saturday in a private ceremony on the Isle of Wight in England, with a reception afterwards at Mottistone Manor.

Locals told People that it was a low-key ceremony with their closest friends and family.

This wedding news comes a month after the pair confirmed they are expecting their first child later this year.

Benedict, who popped the question just a few months ago, recently gushed to People about how understanding Sophie, 36, is of the pressures of fame.

"She's just really cool," he said. "She's proud of my work, she's proud of me, and she loves me. That's the bottom line, isn't it?

"That's one of the reasons it's a good fit. It could be a really difficult thing, but she's just so in command of it."

Sounds like a keeper to us!

The newlyweds, who met on the set of 2009 movie Burlesque Fairlytales, will attend the Oscars on February 22 to see if Benedict takes home a Best Actor nod for his role in The Imitation Game.
