Congratulations may be in order for Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara.
Fans online seem to think the “Joker” star 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.
As he shared how he crafted his 2020 Oscars speech, the actor revealed he came up with his stirring address while he “was talking with my mom and my wife.”

Later in the episode, Phoenix referred to Mara by name, making it clear she was the “wife” he was speaking about.
“Rooney was like, ‘That’s what you should say!’” he shared.
Throughout the entirety of his conversation with Fragoso, Phoenix refrained from clarifying his marriage status.
A rep for the actor did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The couple met in 2012 while working together on the Spike Jonze film “Her.” Though, they didn’t strike up a relationship until they reunited on the set of “Mary Magdalene” a few years later.
They became engaged in 2019.
“She’s the only girl I ever looked up on the internet,” Phoenix said of Mara in a rare 2019 interview with Vanity Fair.
