Riz Ahmed reveals he secretly got married. Who is his wife?

British-Pakistani actor Riz Ahmed has tied the knot but has kept mum on the subject.

The 38-year-old ‘Sound of Metal’ actor revealed during a podcast that he stayed back in California after wrapping up a shoot for his film as his “wife’s family” was from the area.

Theroux, per Us Weekly, told Ahmed what many of us were thinking: he didn’t realize The Reluctant Fundamentalist actor wasn’t single. Theroux further asked Ahmed how long he has been married for, to which he replied: “Not very long, actually.”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever mentioned it in an interview. So, congratulations on this incredibly exciting scoop,” he said.

“I mean, I guess I don’t really feel it’s generally that relevant, so I don’t delve into my personal life or my dating history or even family life much,” he went on to say.

“If I was quite a private person, I wouldn’t be doing a podcast with you being like, ‘Hey, check out these films. I’m on Twitter.’ I guess it’s just about having boundaries,” he added.

“She’s an amazing novelist. We met so randomly while I was preparing for this role, for Sound Of Metal when I was in New York,” said the 38-year-old actor.

Mirza is a New York Times best-selling author whose books include A Place for Us. She was raised in California, according to her website.
