Chelsea Kane Ties the Knot with Miguel Marques in Intimate Portugal Ceremony
Quinn Parker here and I am buzzing like I just slammed my third espresso of the morning because Hollywood just served us the sweetest love story reboot ever. Buckle up, folks, because former Disney darling Chelsea Kane has officially said “I do” to her longtime love, Miguel Marques.
The Baby Daddy star shared the surprise announcement on Instagram August 1, posting a tender church kiss pic with the caption “Surprise! We snuck away and made it official.” It turns out that the Jonas alum and her beau quietly exchanged vows in an intimate Portugal ceremony—complete with cobblestone streets, local saints, and a ton of mozzarella-worthy romance. Sources at E! News confirm the wedding took place in the middle of the Santo António festival, a celebration known for honoring the saint of marriage.
Chelsea’s A-list friends wasted no time celebrating. LeAnn Rimes chimed in with “congrats, love,” while Glee’s Dot-Marie Jones exploded with enthusiasm: “CONGRATULATIONS SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!!” Baby Daddy co-star Daniella Monet swooned, “So so happy for you! What a beautiful moment,” and Camp Rock scene-stealer Anna Maria Perez de Tagle raved about Chelsea’s stunning dress: “Congrats beautiful! The gown is immaculate.”
Fans first caught wind of this couple back in February, when the actress posted Valentine’s selfies with Miguel alongside the note “Happy Valentine’s Day! Amo-te”. Since then, Chelsea, 36, has been treating her followers to glimpses of their global adventures. Her August feed was all about Porto’s colorful Santo António Festival—think brides, sardines, brass bands, and Sagres beer flowing like confetti.
Before this whirlwind romance became headline news, Chelsea spent her teen years lighting up the screen in hit Disney Channel shows like Wizards of Waverly Place and the Disney Channel Games, a journey she told Entertainment Weekly in 2015 was wonderfully gradual. “I haven’t had one of those crazy overnight shifts from childhood into womanhood,” she said. “It’s been a really beautiful transition.”
That transformation included six seasons of Baby Daddy, which wrapped in 2017. In a chat with Behind the Velvet Rope, Chelsea admitted, “Everyone loves each other so much, we have so much fun.” Now life’s greatest adventure awaits—the adventure of marriage.
And if you thought Chelsea’s big day was the only celeb wedding of the summer, think again. Dom Natale and Lo Bosworth also eloped in Laguna Beach while expecting; Hannah Brown said yes to Adam Woolard on the coast of France; Chrishell Stause and G-Flip partied medieval-style in LA; Eve Jobs and Harry Charles tied the knot in the English countryside; Madeline Brewer wed Jack Thompson-Roylance near his hometown; and Charli XCX quietly married George Daniel at London’s Hackney Town Hall.
Okay, I need to calm down after that whirlwind recap. Whew—I swear I could talk about this all day.
