After the Lord of the Rings star referred to Kongsved as his “wife” on a recent podcast appearance, TMZ discovered that the couple have a marriage license on record in Los Angeles. However, details about the wedding — including when they tied the knot — remain private.
Rumors have circulated multiple times about the couple officially getting hitched, and Kongsved was spotted wearing a ring on her left hand as long ago as 2019.
The couple, who worked together on the 2017 film I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore went public with their relationship in January 2018. They share two children, a 5-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter.
Wood has been notoriously private about his personal life, but has offered up a few details about his life with Kongsved in past interviews.
Elijah Wood First Referred to His “Wife” in a January 2025 Podcast Interview
In a February 2019 interview with Seth Meyers, the actor shared that he and the Danish filmmaker found out they were expecting their first child on Christmas Eve. He added that he hadn’t had a cigarette since learning the happy news.
Both of the couple’s children have also remained private. Confirmation of their births has come months after the fact.
However, in a March 2023 interview with WSJ. Magazine, Wood shared how becoming a parent had changed him.
“You’re constantly being challenged, in the best way,” he said. “It’s as much my own personal growth as it is about my child’s growth.”
Wood hinted at the change in his marital status during a January 2025 episode of the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum.
“I’m beyond grateful for my family and my kids and my wife,” he raved. “They are such an extension of me. They are the most important people in my life.”
