Bollywood actor John Abraham's wedding to girlfriend Priya Runchal might have been a private one, but that doesn't stop gossipmongers from speculating loud and aloud as to what propelled a hurried, hush-hush wedding.

Buzz is that Priya, John's girlfriend of three years, is expecting their first child together. Hence, the haste!

John broke many hearts when he announced his wedding to Priya on Twitter on the New Year's day. "Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed 2014! May this year bring you love, good fortune and joy. Love, John and Priya Abraham," the actor had tweeted.

A US based investment banker, Priya Runchal met Bollywood actor John Abraham at an event three years back and hot it off gradually. John is in awe of his ladylove and is more than elated to have her in his life. John said that he and Priya share strong understanding and both give each other space.

In a past interview, John had said, "Priya and I met through common friends. Definitely there was attraction, but it takes much more than physical attraction to be in a relationship. I am in a happy space right now. She is extremely supportive and prefers to be away from the public eye. If she calls me at 11.30 in the night and I am caught up with something or am tired, she says I should take rest or go to sleep once I am done with work. It means a lot to me. She gives me space and I give her space. She is currently in London to pursue her two-year full-time MBA, so ours is a long-distance relationship. We will get married when I take a break from work."
