She said while talking to the American talk show host, Kelly Ripa

'We got married here in City Hall and Mayor Bloomberg was our officiator, yeah, it was very cool. It was also very top-secret. At that point, I was really dying for privacy. So we flew out on a red-eye Thursday night. Friday morning, we woke up, went to City Hall, had the wedding really quick, and then we went to a waffle lunch after'

The newlyweds finished off the weekend with a Knicks game before flying home to California.

Today, the couple, Ivery and Ellen have three children together, Stella, Sienna, and Eli.
