Rooney and Joaquin shared a sweet red carpet moment
Joaquin just confirmed Rooney (born Patricia) was his ‘wife’ during an episode of Sam Fragaso’s podcast Talk Easy, last month.
Mara welcomed their second child in June, and she dressed her post-baby body gorgeous sheer gown.
Phoenix (born Bottom) and the two-time Oscar nominee are also parents of four-year-old son River Mara Phoenix named after Joaquin’s big brother who died, age 23, from an overdose of morphine and cocaine on Halloween 1993.
‘I love it. I love it so much. I think it’s the best thing in the world,’ Rooney gushed of motherhood on the LaunchLeft Podcast last year.
‘It doesn’t feel like a two-actor house because I didn’t work for the first three and a half years we were together.
Basically since we’ve been together, I only worked one or two times and one was really small and short. It feels like a creative household, we’re constantly talking about creative things.’
The Phoenixes originally met in 2012 playing lovers Theodore Twombly and Catherine Klausen on the LA set of Spike Jonze’s AI rom-com Her, but they didn’t start dating until after her 2016 split from her Discovery director Charlie McDowell.
The acting couple went on to co-star in Garth Davis’ 2018 Biblical drama Mary Magdalene and Gus Van Sant’s 2018 comedy Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot.
