“We have a daughter”: the actor of the movie “Lord of the Rings” Elijah Wood admitted that he secretly became a father for the second time 28.03.2023, 13:10

The actor of the role of Frodo Baggins in the movie “Lord of the Rings” tries to protect his personal life from public attention. Elijah has been happily in a relationship with Danish producer Mette-Marie Kongsved for six years. In 2019, the couple sparked rumors of their engagement. Elijah and his fiancee are raising a 3-year-old son.

The 42-year-old artist admitted the day before that he had a daughter. Mette-Marie secretly gave birth to a baby girl 14 months ago. Wood shared the unexpected revelation during an interview with the Wall Street Joiurnal.

Elijah noticed that when a child appeared in the house, he reconsidered his usual way of life. Now he has to get up at 5.30-6.30 in the morning. “We have a 3-year-old Evan and a 14-month-old daughter, and he wakes us up so early. I like to get up early, I like the beginning of the day, “Daily Mail quotes the actor as saying.

The young father takes an active part in raising his son and daughter. According to Eliáš, he enjoys everyday tasks such as putting the baby to sleep or preparing dinner for the children. He noted that he was “challenged in a good way”. “It’s my personal growth as much as my child’s growing up,” Wood said.

The actor explained how he manages to hide such important events from the public eye. Eliáš admitted that he opened a separate account on social networks where he publishes family photos. “I wanted to be able to share images that I don’t necessarily want to show the world. A public account will make a big difference. It’s not that I’m sharing what no one should know about, I’m just a closed person,” Elijah is quoted as saying in the Mirror.

The star father announced the birth of his son only when he was a few months old. Wood quit smoking after learning of his beloved’s pregnancy.
