The 34-year-old Star Wars: The Force Awakens star dropped the big news in a recent interview with The Guardian.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/a><\/p>\n

“Oh yeah, this is my wedding ring,” John responded<\/a>. “I’ve been married for coming up to two years now.”<\/p>\n

The actor said they had a small ceremony and joked he got married the same way Braveheart did.<\/p>\n

After the interview said the ring was different than the one he wears int he documentary, Damilola: The Untold Story, John shared that the one he was wearing had a special meaning.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, this is our very sentimental ring,” the actor said. “This is the one we decided to pick up spontaneously because I just wanted the ring on my finger, so we went to Walmart to get this. It was a lovely trip to Walmart.”<\/p>\n

“I would love to have a wedding celebration,” he added. “We both like the idea of celebrating something established, rather than celebrating the entry. And by then, we’ll have to shut Nigeria down!”<\/p>\n

Plus, John revealed they are expecting their first child together!<\/p>\n

“My baby’s on the way. We got a baby cooking,” he dished, while adding he also has a stepson. “So, you know, my life is completely, completely fulfilled in terms of family. It’s been so nice with the timing.”<\/p>\n

While John didn’t share any details about who is wife is, fans have uncovered her identity thanks to his social media.<\/p>\n

\"Tae<\/a>John Boyega is seemingly married to Tae Heckard!<\/p>\n

John’s wife appears to be actress Tae Heckard<\/a>, and a big clue to her identity is that they are both the only person they follow on each of their Instagram accounts.<\/p>\n

In a September 22, 2026 post, Tae included a photo of her reflection in a zoomed in photo of John’s face and sunglasses.<\/p>\n

He also commented on the post, writing, “So this is why you cook Pounded yam and egusi on Saturdays?? a tactical weapon of mass plan-canceling. I’m onto you lover.”<\/p>\n

She replied, “baba\u2026..u feel the same way until summer rolls around\u2026.then i have no choice but to be outside on any given day,” to which he responded, “you are right”<\/p>\n

Her name on her account is also listed as Tae Boyega.<\/p>\n

Remember when he mentioned buying a ring at Walmart? John mentioned the store in a comment on an August post of hers.<\/p>\n

“Yes the mall has multiple stores but for some reason you always have us in Walmart for 2+ hours,” he wrote, with her responding, “cus i love watching you put all my shenannies in the cart. yum”<\/p>\n

Who is Tae Heckard? She is also an actor and has appeared in #BlackAF and The Game as her most recent major projects. She’s also been seen in the movies ATL, Back Then, and Getting Even.<\/p>\n

Tae was previously linked<\/a> to NFL star Stefon Diggs<\/a> in 2024, and prior to that, she was in a relationship with former NBA player Brandon Jennings, who she shares a son with.<\/p>\n
