If there’s anyone who deserves an Oscar this year, it’s Kodi Smit-McPhee.
The 25-year-old actor stole practically every scene in The Power of the Dog, and his performance already earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. But now, we want to learn more about the actor’s romantic history—especially since he brought a date to this year’s SAG Awards.
Here’s what we know about Kodi Smit-McPhee’s girlfriend.
Smit-McPhee is happily dating his longtime girlfriend, Rebecca Phillipou. The details of her personal life and career haven’t been made public, but by the looks of her Instagram account, it seems her romance with Smit-McPhee is still going strong.
Phillipou shared her first pic with Smit-McPhee on Instagram back in 2013, which means they’ve been dating since they were teenagers. In the post, the pair are seen communicating through a video chat. And in the comments, Phillipou wrote, “@kodismitmcpheeofficial hah you were my husband back then to shh.” Smit-McPhee then replied, “We already called each other husband and wife back there.”
In 2014, the couple attended the premiere of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in San Francisco, California—and it was the first of many joint red carpet visits. They also attended the premiere of Dark Phoenix in 2019, the 10th Annual LACMA ART+FILM GALA in 2021 and, most recently, the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Quite frankly, it’s hard to tell, since Smit-McPhee has never mentioned tying the knot. Still, considering they’ve called each other “husband” and “wife” as far back as 2013, it seems likely that wedding bells are in the not-too-distant future.
