Looks like primetime’s favorite ‘fixer’ Kerry Washington has found herself fixed up in what was intended to be a secret wedding.  But, if E! Online’s story is to believed, the ‘Scandal’ beauty’s secret is out and word has it she is now Mrs. Kerry Asomugha.

Via E! News:

“Kerry Washington married San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha on June 24 in Blaine County, Idaho, E! News exclusively confirms.

The 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowl star played with the Oakland Raiders, who drafted him following his graduation from UC Berkeley in 2003, for eight seasons and the Philadelphia Eagles for two before signing with the 49ers in April. The bookish athlete is no stranger to showbiz, either, having scored acting gigs on The Game, Friday Night Lights and Leverage in recent years.”

No confirmation from the Washington-Asomugha camp yet, but if this is true, we certainly extend our warmest congratulations to the happy couple!

Sure to draw yet another comparison to RT, does JT have another hit in sight with ‘Tunnel Vision’?
