Maria Bello and Dominique Crenn, the long-time couple, sparked marriage rumors at the Time100 Gala when they were seen wearing what appeared to be wedding bands. However, a representative for Maria Bello clarified that they have not tied the knot yet but mentioned that it will happen soon.
The couple looked deeply in love as they walked hand in hand and posed for photos on the red carpet. Dominique Crenn, the French chef, showcased her ring prominently as she posed for pictures, while Maria Bello, the actress, looked stunning in a sheer, beaded black gown.
The engagement between Maria Bello and the Michelin star chef was announced in February 2020, two months after Dominique Crenn proposed in Paris. Bello expressed her surprise at the proposal, stating that it felt meant to be and that she finally felt grown-up enough to get married.
When asked about their compatibility, Bello mentioned that they light each other up, while Crenn emphasized love, joy, and cooking for each other as key elements of their relationship.
After a four-year engagement, the couple revealed in December 2023 that their wedding was scheduled for the upcoming spring. Bello shared that they had finalized the wedding details, including the date and location, and were looking forward to this new chapter in their lives.
While being a mother remains Bello's top priority, she expressed her excitement for this new commitment with Crenn, who is a breast cancer survivor. Bello highlighted that they have faced challenges together, including cancer and the COVID-19 pandemic, and are now embarking on the journey of commitment and marriage.
The couple plans to have a medium-sized wedding, and Bello expressed her enthusiasm for choosing a life partner in the second half of her life. She emphasized the significance of taking this step in her personal life and the excitement of deciding to be with the person she loves.
