Madam Secretary Stars Téa Leoni And Tim Daly Marry In Real Life
In our politically divided nation, there's one issue on which members of both parties can come together: to congratulate Tim Daly and Téa Leoni on their recent wedding!
The actors, who played married couple Henry and Elizabeth McCord in CBS' White House drama Madam Secretary, were married in a private ceremony on July 12 in New York City, a rep for Leoni confirms to TVLine.
Madam Secretary ran for six seasons from 2014 to 2019 on CBS. Leoni's Elizabeth started the series as the Secretary of State but was elected President of the United States by the show's final season. Daly's Henry was a theologian who wound up as ethical advisor to President Conrad Dalton and later became First Gentleman of the United States when Elizabeth was elected president.
Though Leoni and Daly knew each other prior to the show's start — they attended the same high school in Vermont — they began dating during in real life during the series' first season. As the show finished production in November 2019, Daly posted about his gratitude for everything (and everyone) it had brought into his life.
"HUMANS!!!," he wrote on social media, "What did I get from Madam Secretary? EVERYTHING!!! That's a wrap."
Here's hoping the real-life couple's big day went more smoothly than Elizabeth and Henry's Season 5 vow renewal, which took place at an Arizona jail after she was arrested for speaking out against draconian family separation policies at the United States border. When Elizabeth refused to go free until the children separated from their parents were reunited, she and Henry (and their kids) marked their 30th anniversary with a ceremony held at her cell. They kissed through the bars. (Read a full recap.)
