Former Disney star Ross Lynch has officially confirmed that he is married. The 30-year-old actor made the revelation while attending the premiere of his latest Netflix film, *Heartland*, in New York on November 5. Sporting a gold wedding band, Lynch expressed his intention to keep his romantic life out of the public eye, primarily to respect his wife’s wishes.
During a discussion with PEOPLE, Lynch confirmed his marital status with a straightforward, “Yes, yes I am.” While he stated he wasn’t avoiding the topic, he acknowledged that his wife is “not very fond of celebrity.” His comments reflected a desire to be sensitive and respectful towards her preference for privacy. “But everything’s going well,” he added, hinting at a positive chapter in his personal life.
This announcement follows a year that saw Lynch taking a break from social media. He returned to Instagram in late June with a series of images showcasing his musical setup, daily activities, and even some adorable dogs. One of his followers seemed to pick up on a potential hint regarding his marriage status, commenting on one of his posts, “more like what did WE miss? 🤨💍.” Lynch playfully responded, “Hahaha A LOT 🤫,” suggesting there were significant developments in his life.
Further clues about his relationship became apparent in an Instagram post from August 21. In one image, he was seen having brunch while wearing a gold band on his ring finger, sparking further speculation among his fans.
During the premiere, Lynch also shared insights about his acting career, highlighting his joy in returning to the screen after a period predominantly devoted to making music with his brother Rocky Lynch in their band, The Driver Era. “I was excited to be acting again for sure. It was nice to be on set,” he told PEOPLE as he reflected on the opportunity to work on *Heartland*. He expressed enthusiasm for the film’s compelling script and the chance to participate in a project led by women.
In *Heartland*, Lynch portrays Jace Jacobs, a character described as a “lost soul” with a love for celebrity. The film, featuring Jessica Chastain as Misty Jones—a former country music star—revolves around her quest to find her missing niece, who is also a rising musician. The story promises to delve into the complexities of the music industry and the past of its characters.
Recalling his collaboration with Chastain, Lynch noted how her presence provided a comforting atmosphere as he eased back into the acting rhythm. “Working with Jessica was funny because, you know, it’s been a while for me being acting,” he commented. He appreciated her nods of approval, which offered both fun and reassurance as they worked together.
As he transitions into this new period in his life, Lynch reflects on the personal growth he has experienced. “I’ve been focusing a lot on my private life recently, which has been feeling really gratifying,” he remarked, indicating a shift in priorities. “I’m definitely excited about the future prospects and we’ll see how it unfolds,” he concluded, leaving fans curious about what lies ahead.
*Heartland*, which boasts a strong ensemble cast including Garrett Hedlund and Jennifer Nettles, will be available for streaming on Netflix starting November 13. As Lynch balances his personal and professional aspirations, anticipation builds for both his marriage and his evolving career.
