John Boyega reveals he has been married for 2

Actor John Boyega has revealed that he has been married for nearly two years and that he and his wife are expecting a baby boy. He shared the news in an interview with The Guardian about a documentary, published on October 4, after the interviewer noticed the wedding ring on his left hand. "I've been married for coming up to two years now," he said.

Boyega gave few details about the wedding. He said it was a small ceremony, but that he would like a bigger celebration one day, and he joked that it would be an event big enough to take over Nigeria. He did not name his wife in the interview. He also said he already has a young stepson, so the baby will join a family that includes him.

He described the timing of the pregnancy as a good fit. He said he wants to be a present, consistent and loving presence for his children, and that he has recognized moments when family should come first. The news is a rare personal update from Boyega, who has generally kept his private life away from public attention despite his international profile.

Boyega is best known for playing Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and has also appeared in films including Pacific Rim: Uprising and The Woman King. Earlier this year he told fans at a convention that he had spoken with Lucasfilm boss Dave Filoni about a possible return as Finn. Fans had long speculated about his relationship, but until now he had not confirmed a marriage. Details come from reports by The Blast and Arise.
