While it is unclear when Elijah and Mette-Marie met, they were reportedly working together of the 2017 film I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore. The Netflix film starred Elijah and was produced by his now-wife.

They welcomed their first-born son in 2019 and their daughter in 2022.

“You’re constantly being challenged, in the best way,” he said. “It’s as much my own personal growth as it is about my child’s growth,” the Yellowjackets star said in a WSJ. Magazine in 2023.

Mette-Marie, who has also produced Get Duked! and Nine Days, held Elijah’s hand to make their first red carpet debut in February 2024 at the 30th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.

Elijah is best known for his iconic role as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

He said one of his most treasured possessions is a ring from the making of the movie.

When asked by The Guardian about his most “treasured possessions in a 2014 interview, the actor said, “My vinyl records. I also treasure my ring from The Lord Of The Rings. Andy Serkis has one; I think Martin Freeman has one, too.”

“They were bestowed upon us by Peter Jackson as a gift for working on the films,” he added.

“Bless him. Such a good guy. All happiness to you, Elwood,” one fan said online
