Former Disney Channel star Ross Lynch, 30, has confirmed that he is secretly married to a mystery woman. The actor, known for playing a teenage Jeffrey Dahmer in the 2017 film My Friend Dahmer, made the revelation at the premiere of his new film Heartland.
Lynch first rose to fame as a heartthrob on the children's music show Austin & Ally, which launched in 2011. He later formed the pop rock band the Driver Era with his brother Rocky and starred as the young serial killer in the biographical drama.
Confirmed at the Heartland Premiere
Speaking to People at the premiere, Lynch confirmed his married status after being spotted wearing a wedding ring on the red carpet. He explained that he had kept the marriage private because his wife is not fond of celebrity attention.
"Yes, yes I am [married]. I’m not trying to shy away from that by any means, but I am trying to, you know, my wife’s not very fond of celebrity. So I am trying to be sensitive towards that and respectful to her. But everything’s going well," the actor said.
Previous Relationships and Career
Some fans have speculated that his wife might be a woman named Anna, whom he reportedly met in December 2024. Lynch first spoke about the relationship in January 2025, saying in an interview that he had "been seeing someone for around a month."
Prior to that, Lynch dated actress Jaz Sinclair, who starred alongside him in the teen fantasy show The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The two dated from 2018 to 2023, with Lynch playing love interest Harvey Kinkle and Sinclair playing Roz Walker.
Reflecting on Early Fame
Last year, Lynch discussed the impact of becoming famous at age 15 on the Disney Channel. He told the Mirror: "I've definitely had a unique experience. It's definitely different than probably anyone you've been friends with, unless you have any other friends who have been on TV since they were 15. It's interesting, I developed in certain ways quicker than other people and then I didn't develop in other ways quicker. For instance, romantic relationships came later in life for me, because I wasn't really in high school. I was just on set working."
He added that "setting boundaries" came later in life for him as he was "so used to being a worker." Despite the unusual childhood, Lynch said he wouldn't change it, noting, "I think my life is pretty cool," and expressing gratitude for experiences like traveling the world with his family making music and being on tour.
