Did Justin Long and Kate Bosworth get secretly married?

Actors Justin Long and Kate Bosworth may have secretly tied the knot. The couple only announced their engagement over a month ago.

However, Long now openly refers to Bosworth as “my now-wife,” indicating the couple may have quietly married soon after revealing their engagement to the public.

The couple announced their engagement during the April 4 episode of 44-year-old Long’s Life is Short podcast. During a May 9 episode, featuring guest Kyra Sedgwick, Long discussed his time filming last year’s horror movie ‘Barbarian’ in Bulgaria.

His now-wife

Bosworth also starred in ‘Barbarian’. In the latest podcast episode, Long seemingly refers to Bosworth as his wife.

“I was there while I was like really falling in love with my now-wife and so she came to visit and I had never been comfortable with… well set visits I was never crazy about,” he said. “I liked separating the relationship and the, I don’t know. But I loved having her there and we just had the most magical time” Long says.

“It helped me, having her there,” he added during the podcast, after noting his previous hesitancy to have a significant other visit him on set. “She helped me with scenes, it was the best.”

To add fuel to the allegations of a secret wedding. Bosworth shared photos of the couple wearing wedding bands on their ring fingers over the weekend on her Instagram story celebrating Mother’s Day.

Relationship history

The couple first ignited romance rumors in March 2022 after they were spotted together in Los Angeles. Long later opened up about their relationship for the first time a couple months later in May saying he’s “never had anything like this before.”

When Long and Bosworth confirmed their engagement in April, the ‘Blue Crush’ actress said she “thought it was the most romantic and honest and loving proposal,” as they remembered how he popped the question not long after the pair had “spoken to a therapist.”

The engagement details

“We were trying to move through things at the time and she gave us a really great piece of advice which was, ‘Make sure that you’re pretty consistently asking the other what you need, or asking the other what they need,’” she said during the April 2023 episode. “I remember waking up not so many mornings after that therapy session and I looked at Justin ... I smiled at you, and I said, ‘What do you need?’”

“And he really looked at me and he said, ‘To spend my life with you,’” she added. “And I smiled and I said, ‘Well, yeah, you have that. Oh my gosh, you have that,’ and he said, ‘No, I mean I really want to spend my life with you.’”
