Jesse Williams, best known for his long-running role as Dr. Jackson Avery on the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, has reportedly tied the knot in a private ceremony with Spanish actress and model Alejandra Onieva.
The couple met in 2025 while filming the Amazon Prime Video series Hotel Costiera on Italy’s scenic Amalfi Coast. Their connection developed rapidly, leading to public appearances together starting in the fall of 2025. They were spotted in Madrid, attending red carpet events in Rome, and at the San Sebastián Film Festival. Sources indicate the pair kept their marriage exceptionally low-key, with the union only recently coming to light.
Williams, 44, and Onieva, 33, are said to have exchanged vows in an intimate, under-the-radar ceremony a few months ago. The news first broke via TMZ and has since been picked up by several major outlets.
This marks a new chapter for Williams, who finalized a high-profile divorce from his ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee around 2020 following a lengthy and widely publicized custody battle. Onieva is recognized for her work as an actress and model in Spain and internationally.
As of now, neither Williams nor Onieva has issued an official statement about the marriage. Fans of the Grey’s Anatomy star have expressed surprise across social media, noting how successfully the couple managed to keep their relationship and wedding out of the spotlight.
The quiet union comes after years of Williams balancing his acting career, activism, and personal life in the public eye. Many are wishing the newlyweds a happy future together.
