Justin Long Calls Kate Bosworth His 'Wife', Prompting Secret Marriage Speculation

Actor Justin Long and actress Kate Bosworth might have already tied the knot!

The couple started dating in March 2022 and announced on his "Life Is Short" podcast in March 2023 that they were engaged.

It seems that the couple's relationship is moving faster than expected, as it looks like they might have already tied the knot!

On a recent episode of his "Life Is Short" podcast, the "Accepted" actor was talking to guest Kyra Sedgwick about filming his new movie "Barbarian" in Bulgaria. During the conversation, he referred to the "Blue Crush" actress as his "now-wife."

“I was there while I was like really falling in love with my now-wife,” he said. “She came to visit and I had never been comfortable with set visits. I like to separate the relationship […]But, yeah, I loved having her there and we just had the most magical time.”

Bosworth also seemed to confirm that the two had tied the knot. She posted a photo of them together on Sunday and fans were quick to notice that it looked like the two were wearing wedding bands. She posted a second photo that featured Long posing with her parents for Mother's Day. In that photo, it looked like Long was clearly wearing a wedding band.

Although he referred to Bosworth as his "now-wife" on his latest podcast episode, the two have yet to confirm that they have tied the knot. Just last week, it looked like Bosworth wasn't wearing a wedding band when she met Justin's ex Drew Barrymore on an episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show."

In a short Twitter clip teasing Thursday's episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show,"  the host shared some of the PDA-packed snaps that the couple has posted on Instagram on the screen behind her. "My very dear old friend Justin Long — a boyfriend, a dear friend — and he and Kate have found each other in this world," Barrymore began said.

"[You've] become this incredibly joyous, bonded, real deal; you holding hands, the ultimate couple you root for. Period," she continued. Kate replied, "That's so sweet," adding, "He loves you so much. He just loves you so deeply."

Barrymore and Long dated on and off from 2007 to 2010 and reminisced about their relationship during the season 3 premiere. During his appearance on the show, the former couple admitted that, although they did create some "fun chaos" together, their relationship was "more hedonistic" and "more immature" than what they were looking for.

Believe it or not, Bosworth revealed on Thursday's episode that she was actually the one who convinced the "Dodgeball" actor to appear on the show. At the time, Bosworth said that she told Long, "You have to do it," adding that she was "excited" for the opportunity.  "I was with him when he got the ask and he's like, 'Oh, Drew wants me to go on her show,' and I was like, 'You have to do it!' I was so excited," she added.

"I was so excited, because I knew there's so much love between the two of you," she explained. "So much, yes fun and like wild— I always say you guys were in the tornado together, right? It's like the time in your life when you're like, 'I want to feel and I want to do everything,' just like be a part of the adventure in a wild way, which is so much fun. He just loves you so much."

Long and Bosworth revealed that the two had gotten engaged during an episode of an April episode of his Life is Short podcast, confirming rumors that Bosworth was wearing an engagement ring taken in photos at the Vanity Fair Oscar's after party.

Bosworth finalized her divorce from director Michael Polish in March, only one month before she and Justin confirmed their engagement. The two had been married from 2013 to 2021.

This would be Long's first marriage.
