The rumor mill has been having a field day with this one: it would seem that actor Terrence Howard has tied the knot in secret with his current girlfriend, who he has only been dating for a month.

Although this bit of news is yet unconfirmed by official sources, there are speculations to support it.

If this proves to be true, it will be Howard's 4th time at the altar. The actor, who is 44, is said to have married in secret a short-term friend, and the only things known about her are that she is called Miranda and that she is Canadian.

Terrence Howard has had a long history of abuse and violent outbursts which starts way back in 2000 and culminates with the attacks against his former wife Michelle Ghent, who accused him of punching and chocking her while on a reconciliation trip in July in Costa Rica. She has since obtained a restraining order.

The new couple have been seen together everywhere these past few days, reports Radar Online, to his family and friends, and also to the movie premiere of “The Best Man Holiday,” which took place in Los Angeles on November 5th, where they were spotted wearing wedding rings.

It was this ultimate detail that sparked the entire secret marriage rumor.

The interesting part of the matter is not the secret marriage, though. Friends close to the actor revealed that Terrence decided the call up Michelle, his former wife, and brag about getting married, trying to taunt her. Another one of his friends confirmed the rumor adding that “It's one of his outlandish moves,” a thing that for Howard is “not out of character.”

Terrence has had a busy year in 2013, starring in movies such as “Dead Man Down,” “House of Bodies,” “The Butler” and most recently, in the thriller “Prisoners.”
