Phoenix and Mara went under the radar after awards show season ended and have been rarely spotted during the quarantine.We last saw the couple when Phoenix and Mara showed up at a farm in California and rescued a cow and her newborn calfnamed then Liberty and Indigo, and asked fans to fund them on the occasion of Mother's Day.
The super-privatecouple hasn't confirmed the exciting news, but Mara was seen out and aboutwearing a baggyoutfit that got the rumor mill churning. Twitter fans were immediately piecing together if The Girlwith the Dragon Tattoostar was actually pregnant or just hiding a Quarantine tummy (unlikely). One Twitter commenter said, "Rooney Mara may be pregnant but it may also simply be that she enjoys dressing like a hobo."
Phoenix and Mara started dating in 2018 and shortly after moved in together. Phoenix gushed to Vanity Fairlast Fall, "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."
The couple is rumored to be engaged and noannouncement has come from their teams, but the engagement seemed to be confirmed after Mara was seen wearing aring on her engagement finger. It seems the couple will stay engaged and aren't rushing down the aisle. A source told Us Weekly, Theyre never going to get married because they think marriage is too mainstream.
Though Phoenix and Mara are known as private people, they have never been shy about their role as animal rights activists.Phoenix has been vegan since he was three-years-old andconsistently is using his platform to encourage people to ditch the dairy and go vegan.Rooney Mara, also a long-time vegan, as is her sister Kate Mara, shook the farming industry after joiningforces with Animal Equalityto expose factory farming.
Together, the couple wrote an op-ed in The Washington Postcritically raising awareness aboutwet markets in Chinaas well as inthe U.S. Phoenix got the nation's attention in his heart-wrenching Oscar acceptance speech where he asked people to consider switching from dairy to plant-based milk in their coffee and understanding the decisions we make as consumers affect the natural and animal world.
After the Oscars, Phoenix and Mara were photographed enjoying a well-deserved break at a plant-based burger joint in a rare moment of pulling the covers back on their relationship.
