The nuptials were so top secret that not even their loved ones knew that they were attending a wedding! They "surprised guests at their annual July 4th party by exchanging views in front of their family and close friends," the rep adds.

The newlyweds in particular were feted by Joel's daughter, Alexa Ray, and actor Kevin James. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo officiated the ceremony.

Ray's mom is supermodel Christie Brinkley. "Congratulation to the glowing bride and groom," Brinkley wrote via Instagram following the news. "And to my daughter Alexa, who has a wonderful friend in Alexis! Wishing the growing family every happiness!"

Joel, 66, and 33-year-old Roderick — who previously worked at Morgan Stanley — began dating in 2009. In April, they confirmed they are expecting their first child together in the summer.
