Elijah Wood recently surprised fans with a heartfelt revelation about his personal life. In an interview with *WSJ. Magazine*, the actor shared that he is now a father of two—a 3-year-old son, Evan, and a 14-month-old daughter, whose name he has chosen to keep private.

The confession came as a surprise since Wood never publicly announced the arrival of his second child or revealed that his partner, 42-year-old Mette-Marie Kongsved, was expecting again.

Over a year after his daughter’s birth, Wood decided to share the news, expressing his joy in embracing fatherhood.

He spoke about his enthusiasm for parenting, recalling how he found it easy to wake up at night for his newborn and still enjoys preparing breakfast for his children.

When asked why he kept the news private and refrains from sharing photos of his children, Wood explained that he values his privacy and prefers to keep his personal life away from public scrutiny.

Wood’s relationship with Kongsved also unfolded discreetly. The pair met on the set of *I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore* in 2016, where they connected and later became a couple.

Their romance was revealed in 2018 when they were spotted holding hands, sparking rumors of an engagement that Wood has yet to confirm.
