Jonathan and Mara got engaged in 2014, and have reportedly secretly tied the knot after Mara referred to the actor as her 'hubby' on her social media account.

Jonathan, 39, is currently in recovery after battling alcohol addiction, and last year posted a public apology to his fans after suffering a relapse.

He wrote via Mara's Instagram account: 'Mara and I are thankful for your support and kindness during this time. I apologizes [sic] for having a minor relapse and hope that people don't think too badly of me.

'I feel I made a mistake and feel quite embarrassed but this was just a blip in my recovery otherwise I'm living a healthy life.'
