Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara have been romantically linked since early 2017.

Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara have been fiercely private when it comes to their relationship. The lovely couple has worked together in two films - Her (2013) and Mary Magdalene (2018) - and were first romantically linked in early 2017. It was only a couple of months later that the pair confirmed their blossoming romance. In May 2019, rumours became rife that Joaquin and Rooney were engaged, given the huge diamond ring spotted on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2012) star's engagement finger.

However, the couple has neither confirmed nor denied the engagement speculations but are instead packing on the PDA on the red carpet for the 44-year-old actor's latest outing, Joker. Mara accompanied her man at the TIFF premiere as well as the LA premiere of the Todd Philips directorial. During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the Oscar-nominated actor got candid about his ladylove, who he is currently living with in LA. Phoenix believed that his rumoured fiancée hated him when they shot for Her but eventually found out that Rooney was just shy and actually liked him too. "She’s the only girl I ever looked up on the internet. We were just friends, email friends. I’d never done that. Never looked up a girl online," Joaquin revealed.
