Uzo Aduba quietly married boyfriend Robert Sweeting in a secret ceremony last year.

The “Orange is the New Black” star posted a sweet snap from the couple’s big day on Sunday.

“For some of us, it can feel like we spend our whole lives waiting for our special someone,” she captioned the photo. “My heart, my love — I’m so happy my life started last year with you. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. ❤️”

The couple wed in a private New York ceremony, a source confirmed to People, adding that the pair are celebrating their one-year anniversary this year.

A rep for the 40-year-old actress did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

She also posted a quote from “When Harry Met Sally” on her Instagram caption.

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible,” she added.

The “In Treatment” actress managed to keep her entire relationship with the filmmaker a secret so it’s unclear how long they’ve been together prior to getting married.

Several of Aduba’s celebrity friends commented on her exciting announcement.

“Beautiful!!!! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” model Lily Aldridge commented.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!! Congratulations! ❤️,” Jessica Chastain wrote.

Ava DuVernay commented, “Bless you both!!!!! Wonderful!!!! ?.”

Aduba shared on social media in in April that her mother passed away in November 2020.

“My Mommy, the best thing that has ever happened to me. She left her earthly body this past November to be with God after a valiant and gracious fight with cancer,” Aduba wrote on Twitter alongside a photo of her and her mom.

“She was and remains my hero; I am proud to know that it’s her blood running through my veins.”
