Much like her Scandal character Olivia Pope, Kerry tends to keep her private life under wraps.
While they have never been photographed together, the couple have been dating since the summer of 2012, sports gossip website Terez Owens claims.
A source close to Kerry and the San Francisco 49ers player confirmed the nuptials to E!.

This is the first marriage for 36-year-old Kerry, who was previously betrothed to David Moscow.
But since breaking off her engagement in 2007, the Django Unchained star has remained tight-lipped when it comes to her relationships.
Kerry recently vowed to take a Twitter hiatus while on 'vacation', suggesting she and Nnamdi are currently enjoying their honeymoon.

Kerry added: 'Ok. Logging off! See u in a few weeks! SO excited 4 all u UK #Gladiators about 2 experience Season 2! Spread the word! July 4th.'

Kerry has been in the industry for the best part of two decades but has recently become a household name thanks to her smash-hit show Scandal and nabbing the role of Jamie Foxx's enslaved wife in Django Unchained.
Meanwhile NFL star Nnamdi, 31, has also spent some time in front of the spotlight with appearances in Friday Night Lights, Leverage and The Game.

Back in May, Kerry told Essence magazine of her most recent movie Peeples: 'I think the message of this film is to really be yourself and to love other people for who they really are.'
