NEW YORK (AP) -- It's a match made in Oscar heaven: Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have gotten married.

Cruz's representative Amanda Silverman confirms the couple were married in the beginning of July at a friend's house in the Bahamas.

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.
