She said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Tuesday the ceremony for the 36-year-old Cruz and the 41-year-old Bardem was a small one that only family members attended.

Cruz's wedding dress was designed by a longtime friend, fashion designer John Galliano.

Cruz and Bardem, who are both from Spain, began dating in 2007. Reports of an engagement surfaced last year, but the couple would not comment.

They appeared together in the 2008 Woody Allen romantic comedy "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." Cruz won a supporting-actress Oscar for her role.

Bardem won a supporting-actor Oscar for the 2007 crime thriller "No Country for Old Men."
