The couple got married at their home on December 20, 2014. Unlike most celebrities who have big wedding ceremonies and share details about their nuptials with the public, the couple never revealed any details about their wedding or how the filmmaker proposed to his girlfriend.

It is not surprising, however, as the "500 Days of Summer" actor has expressed how he likes to keep his wife and their family away from the spotlight.

DO JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT AND TASHA MCCAULEY HAVE KIDS?

The 41-year-old actor and his entrepreneur wife are parents to two boys. Joseph and Tasha welcomed their first child in August 2015. About two years later, they had their second baby boy in June 2017.

In 2020, the actor revealed how he and his sons enjoy dancing. The star, who can sing and dance, said his sons love Gregory Hines and Gene Kelly. He said his kids think he's a great dancer, and having those moments with them is fantastic for him.

One of Hollywood's biggest stars has preferred to protect his children's privacy. The "10 Things I Hate About You" actor expressed on Live With Kelly and Michael why he needs to keep his children away from the spotlight. Joseph said:

"My son, he's just a baby, you know? He hasn't made the choice to be in the public eye, and that's a choice that I would like him to be able to make when he's older. And so, for now, I'm just a protective dad, and I want to protect his privacy."

The doting dad always gushes about his boys during interviews, and the three seem to have a lovely relationship.

Joseph and Tasha will continue to enjoy raising their little ones in private and appreciate all those moments without any distractions. Good for them!
