Ross Lynch is officially off the market — and he’s being deliberate about keeping his marriage private.
The former Disney star, 30, confirmed his marital status to People at Thursday’s “Heartland” premiere, where he was spotted wearing a wedding band. Asked directly, Lynch said, “Yes, yes I am [married].”
The “Austin & Ally” alum explained that he wasn’t trying to hide the news, but that his wife values her privacy.
“I am not trying to shy away from that by any means,” he said, adding that his wife is “not very fond of celebrity.” He continued, “I am trying to be sensitive towards that and respectful to her.”
Lynch did not reveal his wife’s identity, but he did say things are going well in their relationship: “Everything’s going well.”
Speculation about Lynch’s marital status had been building since June, when he returned to Instagram after a year-long break. In a post captioned, “Been a minute, what did I miss?,” fans noticed a ring on his hand. When one follower joked, “more like what did WE miss ? 🤨💍,” Lynch replied coyly, “hahahaha A LOT.”
Over the years, Lynch has largely kept his romantic life out of the public eye and has only confirmed two past relationships. He dated “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” co-star Jaz Sinclair from 2018 to 2022, making their red carpet debut in 2020. Before that, he was linked to actress Courtney Eaton; the two went Instagram-official in 2015 and split two years later.
On Thursday, Lynch said focusing on his private life has felt “really gratifying” lately, though he’s also “definitely excited about future” acting roles.
“Heartland” marks his first acting job since 2020, aside from his appearance in Troye Sivan’s 2023 “Look at You” music video. In recent years, Lynch has mainly focused on his band the Driver Era with his brother Rocky Lynch.
“I was excited to be acting again for sure,” he said. “It was nice to be on set.”
