Surprise!Caitriona Balfeis married.
On Saturday, the 39-year-oldOutlanderstar said “I do” to music producer Anthony “Tony” McGill at St. Mary’s Church in Bruton, Somerset, in the United Kingdom, multiple sources told PEOPLE. Reps for the actress did not return PEOPLE’s request for comment, but the public calendar for the church confirms a wedding for “A McGill” took place there last weekend.
It’s unclear exactly when Balfe and McGill started dating, but the earliest evidence of their romance dates back to 2015, when a friend posted a video of her sitting on his lap at a bar in Ireland onInstagram. (McGill was not tagged and does not appear to have any social media accounts of his own.)
Since then, the couple has only stepped out in public together a handful of times, including the 2016 ceremony forJodie Foster‘s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Oscar Wilde Awards in 2017, and BAFTA-related events in 2018 and 2019.
Their most recent public appearance was at the Henley Festival, a boutique music and arts event, on July 12 in Henley-on-Thames, England.

In an interview withParadelast fall, Balfe briefly addressed her engagement when asked ifOutlanderfans had finally accepted that she and costarSam Heughanare not a couple in real life.
“There’s a small vocal group that really wanted it, which is just a testament to the characters that we portray, that the love story is so inspiring and so aspirational that people just really wanted to believe in it,” she said. “And that’s a nice thing. But I think things are pretty clear now that I’m engaged to someone else. Everyone gets it now.”
