Elijah Wood has seemingly confirmed that he has married Mette-Marie Kongsved

Speaking on the 'Inside of You' podcast, he said: "I'm beyond grateful for my family and my kids and my wife."

Throughout the conversation, podcast host Michael Rosenbaum continually referred to Mette-Marie as Elijah's "wife" as well.

What's more, insiders told TMZ that "the couple got married in Sweden on New Year's Eve" and claimed that it was all done as part of an "intimate ceremony" in front of 80 friends.

Elijah has made a concerted effort to keep his personal life out of the spotlight over recent years.

The 'Lord of the Rings' star has even kept his Instagram account private, in a bid to protect his family from outside interest.

Speaking about his approach to social media, Elijah explained: "I wanted to be able to share photos that I didn't necessarily want to share with the world. An account that's public-facing would really change what I share.

"It's not like I'm sharing anything that I wouldn't want to go out, but I'm a relatively private person."

Meanwhile, Elijah previously revealed that he feels "protective" towards child stars.

The Hollywood star rose to fame as a child actor, starring in a host of big-budget movies, and Elijah revealed that he's keen to protect child actors.

He explained: "If there were a situation where it felt like someone wasn't as together, or maybe was more in their infancy, maybe I would feel a sense of protectiveness, just from one human being to another."
