Call it the opposite of the Taylor-Travis wedding.

Former “Real Housewives of Miami” star Dr. Nicole Martin and her longtime partner, lawyer Anthony Lopez, have quietly tied the knot.

Don’t be surprised if you’re a pop culture-savvy local and had no idea the blessed union transpired. Though Martin is somewhat of an open book — e.g., sharing her diagnosis of postpartum depression, which triggered her exit from the show — there’s been zero mention of her relationship status anywhere we can see.

Martin still maintains her maiden name on Instagram and on her last post showing off a family vacation to the Bahamas, we didn’t spy a wedding band. How very unBravolike.

And, according to Miami-Dade court records, the wedding, officiated by a deputy clerk in Coral Gables, wasn’t that recent. Engaged since late 2021, Lopez, 47, and Martin, 41, have been living as man and wife way under the radar since March 17.

Why the secrecy? The pair already have two kids — Genevieve, 2, and Greyson, 7 — so perhaps they just wanted to make it official on paper for them.
