Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara may deserve some congratulations.
Fans online are wondering if Joker is married to his longtime partner after he referred to her as his “wife” on Sunday’s episode of the Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso podcast. He seems to think so.
When discussing how he put together his 2020 Oscars speech, the actor revealed that he came up with the inspirational speech “while talking to my mom and my wife.”
Later in the episode, Phoenix calls Mara’s name and reveals that she is the “wife” he was talking about.
“Rooney was like, ‘You should say that!'” he said.
Throughout his conversation with Fragoso, Phoenix refrained from disclosing his marital status.
A representative for the actor did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The two met in 2012 while co-starring in Spike Jonze’s film Her. However, they did not develop a relationship until they met again on the set of “Mary Magdalene” several years later.
They got engaged in 2019.
“She’s the only woman I looked up on the internet,” Phoenix said of Mara in a rare interview with Vanity Fair in 2019.
“We were just friends, email friends. I’d never done anything like that. I’d never looked up girls online.”
In 2020, the couple welcomed their first child. The son was named after the Walk the Line actor’s late brother River Phoenix, who died of a drug overdose in 1993 at the age of 23.
Mara revealed at the 74th Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany that she and Joaquin are expecting their second child in February, showing off her growing bump. .
