Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard marry in Italy

The longtime couple, who live in New York with their 2-year-old daughter, Ramona, flew down to Italy for a romantic wedding.

"We are happy to confirm that Maggie and Peter were married on Saturday, May 2," a rep for Gyllenhaal said in a statement to PEOPLE.

The ceremony was reportedly held at a small chapel at the posh Masseria hotel in Brindisi, near Rome. Italy, it seems, is emerging as a popular marriage-destination among celebrity couples. This is the second high-profile wedding celebration to be organized in the country in just about a week. On April 25, Salma Hayek had tied the knot with French mogul François-Henri Pinault in a star-studded wedding in Venice.

Maggie’s actor brother Jake Gyllenhaal and his Oscar-winning girlfriend Reese Witherspoon were among the guests on Saturday.

Gyllenhaal, 31, and Sarsgaard, 38, had worked together in ‘In God's Hands’, a low-budget feature produced by Steven Soderbergh, which was never released.

After dating for four years, the couple went public with their engagement in 2006. Maggie was already pregnant then.

Gyllenhaal, the daughter of director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal, got her break-through role in the 2002 comedy ‘Secretary’, for which she received critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination.

Recently she replaced Katie Holmes in the role of Rachel Dawes in the blockbuster ‘The Dark Knight’.
Peter Sarsgaard, the son of an air force engineer, landed his first movie role in 1995. Four years later, he received much acclaim for playing a violent charismatic ex-convict in ‘Boys don’t cry’.

Sarsgaard went on to star in films like ‘Kinsey’, ‘Jarhead’ (with his wife's brother, Jake) and 2003’s ‘Shattered Glass’, for which he received worldwide recognition and a Golden Globe nomination.
