Kerry Washington's husband's name is Nnamdi Asomugha for those who are still in the dark and are still oblivious that Scandal's lead actress is married.

E! News first reported about the secret wedding between actress Kerry Washington, 36, and her 32-year-old hubby, but not everyone was well-informed about the latter's identity. So here are the things you should know about the first-time daddy.

Kerry Washington's husband named Nnamdi Asomugha was apparently a San Francisco 49ers cornerback. He signed for a one-year contract with the team back in April 3, 2013 only to be replaced by Eric Wright on November that same year. However, it was actually for health reasons that the Niners decided to replace Washington's husband. Asomugha reportedly suffered some extensive injuries when he hyperextended his knee after appearing in three games.

Although it was quite a loss for Asomugha, great news came his way when it was confirmed on October that his wife, the Emmy-nominated actress, was pregnant. Despite the fact that the actress tried to keep it secret at first, rumors began to surface claiming that she was made to wear coats in her hit ABC series because of her baby bump. It was only when she was booked to appear on Saturday Night Live that she finally confirmed to some people, E! News reported on November 2013.

Kerry Washington's husband named Nnamdi Asomugha also played for the Oakland Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles before securing a spot in the San Francisco 49ers, Hollywoodlife reported.

Another interesting fact about Asomugha is that he also has acting credits under his name. He has appeared in episodes of 'Friday Night Lights,' 'The Game,' 'Leverage,' and 'Funny or Die.' Kerry's hubby even penetrated the big-screen when he appeared on 'Fire with Fire' starring Bruce Willis. What's more is that he has also produced and starred in his own short film titled "Double Negative."

Kerry Washington's husband is of Nigerian descent. He has a Bachelor's Degree in Corporate Finance from the University of California, Berkley.

People reported in late 2013 that Kerry and Nnamdi are quite ecstatic over their first child. But it was not specified on how long the actress and the former player dated before they tied the knot.
