Kelly Paniagua is a celebrity spouse who is famous as the wife of Australian actor, Julian McMahon. Her husband rose to fame through hits like Nip/Tuck and the Fantastic Four franchise. He is still getting that Hollywood recognition through his latter-day projects like FBI: Most Wanted, a spin-off of CBS hit crime drama, FBI.
But here’s a different perspective to look at McMohan’s life; through his current wife, Kelly Paniagua. The man who portrayed villainous Doctor Doom turned heads when he appeared in public with a gorgeously tanned model in 2014. And little did people know, that she was none other than his legit better half. So how did the romance spark? When did they actually wed? Are they still together?
Get the answers to all these along with some untold facts from the personal life of Julian McMahon down in the details below.
Kelly Paniagua Wed Julian McMohan In 2014
Kelly married Julian in Lake Tahoe, a marital venue on the edge of California and Nevada. The wedding took place in June 2014 in a small ceremony that included a fortuitous group of friends. New Idea states the now 54-year-old thespian had asked for the help of his daughter Madison for proposing to Paniagua, while they were on a plane to Paris.
McMohan later revealed he did it while the plane was still in the air. This was versus his original idea of popping up the question after they’d landed on the French capital.

However, as per the guest list, the bride’s sisters-in-law, Deborah and Melinda were not present.
The celebration happened during a family holiday in Melbourne when the Fantastic Four star was traveling with his daughter, Madison, now 22 years old. The Aussie actor had welcomed her during his marriage with his second wife, Brooke Burns.
How and when Did They Meet? Are Julian McMahon And Kelly Paniagua Still Married?
Before their big day, the couple had been together for 11 years. It’s been a toughie for the fans who are ever so curious to know whether the two are still together as of present. Yet there’s little to no information to that end. Add to that, Paniagua, in the last few years, has been an unsung celebrity, especially over social media.

Likewise, there isn’t that single headline that could have otherwise implied Julian’s third marriage is a wreck too.
Whatever the case may be there are a lot of instances where a celebrity spouse seemingly goes behind closed doors in order to stop receiving all sorts of vague rumors.
