If Tamara Falcó’s wedding to Iñigo Onieva was the major media event of 2023, the wedding of his sister has been the complete opposite. Actress Alejandra Onieva has married her fellow actor Jesse Williams in a secret ceremony held in the United States. In fact, the couple has been so discreet about their ‘I do’ that they have been married for several months now, according to outlets on both sides of the Atlantic such as Hola! magazine or TMZ.
According to the Spanish publication, Alejandra and Jesse celebrated an intimate ceremony in the native country of the Grey’s Anatomy star. Only the couple’s closest family and friends attended the union. Now the newlyweds are reportedly planning to host a party for a larger number of guests that will take place this summer in Miami.
The romance between Jesse Williams and Alejandra Onieva dates back to early last year, when they met during the filming of the series Hotel Costiera on the paradisiacal Amalfi Coast of Italy. In this fiction, he plays an Italian-American ex-marine somewhat troubled, but with a good heart, who decides to travel to Italy after leaving his army career and leaving behind a turbulent past. And she plays Sheryl, a mysterious woman who adds mystery to the plot.
It was in autumn 2025 when the couple began appearing in public together. First showing themselves very affectionate on the streets of Madrid, then appearing hand in hand during a premiere in Rome and, later, making an appearance at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. Discreet nonetheless, on their social networks they have not shared pictures of themselves together nor announced the news of their wedding.
This is Jesse Williams: a teacher before an actor
Jesse Williams rose to immense popularity for portraying Jackson Avery in the series Grey’s Anatomy. And he was chosen as one of the sexiest men in the world in 2016. Before deciding to take the leap into acting, the American was a teacher for many years. He taught classes at a high school in Philadelphia after graduating from college. His acting debut came in an episode of Law & Order in 2006.

In addition to acting, Jesse Williams is a consummate civil rights activist. In fact, he even won the Humanitarian Award at the BET Awards 2016. In his acceptance speech, he highlighted issues such as racial injustice or police brutality. He has also written articles for several publications, worked as a model for Kenneth Cole, and appeared in music videos for artists as well-known as Rihanna and Demi Lovato.
A true Renaissance man, the actor also has a technological soul and has created the Ebroji app. This app basically consists of GIFs and images that people can share with each other, but all of them relate in particular to important aspects of African American culture.
Divorced and father of two
Before his marriage to Alejandra Onieva, Jesse Williams was married to Aryn Drake-Lee, with whom he had two children. His divorce was finalized in 2017 after a lengthy legal battle of almost three years. Subsequently, the actor had a relationship that lasted a year with actress Minka Kelly, known for television series such as Friday Night Lights or Euphoria.
For her part, Alejandra Onieva dated another Hollywood star: the Marvel Universe actor, Sebastian Stan. Previously, the gossip press attributed other romantic relationships to Tamara Falcó’s sister-in-law. Among them, one with Fernando Nicolás, Amancio Ortega’s partner, in addition to unconfirmed romance rumors with Iker Casillas.
