However, the couple continued their relationship regardless of what people said. In 1967, two years after the couple met, McCallum's divorce from Ireland was finalized, and McCallum popped the question to Carpenter.

Their wedding took place a few months later and was a quiet affair.

They stayed under the radar for most of their marriage and are still madly in love, although McCallum rarely mentions his family in public.
