John Boyega says he married privately nearly two years ago and is expecting a child

Actor John Boyega says he has been married for nearly two years after a small, private ceremony.

The 34-year-old, known for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, shared the news in an interview.

Boyega says he and his wife are expecting their first child, and he also has a stepson.

He did not name his wife, and the interview gave no confirmed identity for her.

Boyega said he and his wife hope to hold a celebration later, rather than mark the start of their marriage with a large event.

The news means his family is set to grow, though he shared no details about the baby.

He said the timing has made him feel fulfilled in his family life.
