The “Accepted” actor chatted with Kyra Sedwick about his time in Bulgaria with Bosworth while they filmed “Barbarian.”

Additionally, on May 15, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Long was wearing a wedding ring in one of Bosworth's Instagram stories.

Reps for Long and Bosworth did not immediately respond to TODAY.com’s request for comment.

Bosworth and Long became Instagram official in May 2022. In June of that year, she celebrated her then-boyfriend’s birthday with heartfelt message on her social media. Long would go on to pen a love letter to her for her 40th birthday in January 2023.

While chatting with TODAY’s Hoda Kotb and Jenna Hager Bush in November 2022, Long revealed that they had been going out for “over a year.” He also shared how he calls her by her full name, Catherine, “because she’s Kate to the world.”

After speculation of their engagement, the couple would go on to publicly confirm the news on Long's podcast in April. They also posted photos of Bosworth with her stunning ring on Instagram.

“I think we’re both deciding to share this in this space because we’re probably going to be asked about it and we thought, ‘Well, how can we talk about this in a way that makes us feel the best,’ and we thought, ‘Oh, I’d really like to just talk about it with you,’” Bosworth said on the podcast, before they both detailed how they got engaged.

This is Bosworth's second marriage. She was previously married to director Michael Polish. They divorced in 2021.
