Elijah Wood and Mette-Marie Kongsved: A New Chapter in Their Relationship
Speculation is rife that Elijah Wood, the esteemed Lord of the Rings actor, may have recently exchanged vows with his partner Mette-Marie Kongsved. The buzz began after an episode of the “Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum” podcast aired on January 6th, where Wood, 43, expressed profound gratitude for his “wife,” Mette-Marie Kongsved.
In a candid conversation with Michael Rosenbaum, Wood shared, “I’m beyond grateful for my family and my kids, and my wife. Like, they are such an extension of me.” He further emphasized the significance of his family, stating, “They are the most important people in my life.”
Reports from TMZ suggest that the alleged nuptials took place in Sweden on New Year’s Eve in a small-scale ceremony attended by approximately 80 close friends and family members. Despite these speculations, representatives for Wood have not officially confirmed the news.
The couple’s relationship has largely evaded public scrutiny, with Wood and Kongsved maintaining a private life away from the limelight. Their romance seemingly came to light in early 2018 when they were spotted holding hands in Pasadena, California. Engagement rumors surfaced in July 2019 following sightings of Kongsved wearing a notable diamond ring on her left hand.
Over the years, Wood and Kongsved have welcomed two children together, a son, and a daughter. Wood discreetly disclosed the birth of their second child in 2022 during an interview with WSJ. Magazine in March 2023, revealing, “We’ve got a 3-year-old son and a 14-month-old daughter, and she wakes us up pretty early. I like getting up early, I like starting the day.”
Wood, who maintains a private Instagram account, addressed his reserved nature during the interview, stating, “I wanted to be able to share photos that I didn’t necessarily want to share with the world. An account that’s public-facing would really change what I share.” He emphasized, “It’s not like I’m sharing anything that I wouldn’t want to go out, but I’m a relatively private person.”
The couple’s journey together continues to capture attention and intrigue, with fans eagerly awaiting any official confirmation or further details about their relationship and recent developments. Stay connected with People for the latest updates on this evolving story.
