Kodi Smit-McPhee is engaged to longtime girlfriend and fellow Australian Rebecca Phillipou!
The 26-year-old Oscar-nominated actor popped the question on a rooftop in their hometown of Melbourne, Australia on Friday (December 2).
“She was so shocked and surprised, but completely over the moon,” our source tells us after Kodi slipped an impressive rock on her ring finger. “They’ve been a couple for almost nine years and after purchasing a home together last month, they are ready to take the next step in life together.”
Our source added, “Kodi had a beautiful rooftop covered with gorgeous all-white flower arrangements, pink flower petal confetti and large white marquee letters spelling out M-A-R-R-Y M-E. Looking out onto the Melbourne skyline, he got down on one knee and proposed. It was such a precious moment.”
Kodi started acting as a child making his film debut in Romulus, My Father (2007) with Eric Bana. He played Viggo Mortensen’s son in the post-apocalyptic drama The Road (2009), co-starred alongside Chloe Moretz in the horror film Let Me In (2010) and with Michael Fassbender in the Western, Slow West (2015). Kodi played Nightcrawler in Marvel’s X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), Deadpool 2 (2018) and X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019). He earned Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for playing the son of Kirsten Dunst and co-starring alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in The Power of the Dog (2021) written and directed by Jane Campion.
A big congratulations to the happy couple!
