Celebrities are known for their on-again-off-again romances and short-lived weddings. However, some celebrity couples do an excellent job of hiding their off-screen lives that almost nothing is known of their affairs outside the television.

Dianna Agron is one of those few celebrities who’ve managed to keep their private lives under wraps for so long that some people didn’t even know that she and Winston Marshall, the banjoist for Mumford & Sons, had split up. Read on to learn more about why Agron and Marshall called it quits after three years of marriage.

Agron is an American actress best known for her role as Quinn Fabray on the Fox hit musical series Glee.

She was born as Dianna Elise Agron on April 30, 1986, in Georgia to Mary and Ronald Agron. Agron’s father was a hotel manager, and this saw the family live in various hotels. Agron has one younger brother called Jason.

Agron notes that her mother has always been a level-headed woman who always instilled discipline in her children. Agron stated that her mother, Mary, always ensured that they watched films from her time because she thought they were lovely and trustworthy.

Having grown up watching such movies, Agron felt a pull towards acting and eventually decided to take on the path to become an actor. Agron practices Judaism, something which she says she always got bullied for.

The star went to Burlingame High School. Although Agron says she wasn’t popular in high school, she does admit to having had an easier time making friends at Burlingame than in Texas. Agron’s father got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when the star was 15, which led to her parents’ separation.

Agron’s acting career kicked off with commercials and other guest roles in Veronica Mars, Numbers, and Heroes. The star’s big break came when she landed the role of Quinn Fabray in the hit series Glee. After that breakout role, Agron would end up landing more gigs such as starring in the musical Burlesque alongside Cher and Christina Aguilera.

In 2013, Luc Besson sought out Agron for the role of Belle in the crime film The Family. Besson stated that when he was writing Belle’s part, he had Agron specifically in mind and wanted her to star in the movie after he had seen her exemplary performance as Fabray on Glee.

Agron met Marshall in 2015

Agron had always been a fan of Mumford & Sons, Marshall’s band, and the two supposedly kindled a friendship from there. The couple was seen holding hands in Paris in July 2015.

After the sighting by the paparazzi, the couple decided to keep mum about their relationship and seldom talked to the press about each other.

Marshall ended up proposing to the Glee star in late 2015, and the two tied the knot in a very private ceremony in Morocco. Agron opted to ditch the traditional white dress for her wedding and instead went for a brown Moroccan-themed wedding dress on the beach while her husband Marshall wore a fitting turban to seal the occasion.
