Spider-Man Star Jacob Batalon Secretly Marries Longtime Girlfriend Veronica Leahov

Jacob Batalon has officially married his longtime partner, Veronica Leahov, but the couple quietly kept the big news to themselves. Fans only recently realized the wedding had already happened after the Spider-Man actor casually referred to Leahov as "my wife". This happened during an interview promoting Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

The unexpected comment immediately caught fans' attention and became the first public confirmation that the couple had tied the knot. Soon after, more signs appeared that supported the news.

Wedding Ring & Name Change Sparked Speculation

Batalon has also been spotted wearing a wedding band while attending the Los Angeles premiere of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer. The ring prompted even more rumors about the actor and Leahov's marriage.

The next hint was when Veronica Leahov updated her professional website and included the surname Batalon. This further confirmed that the couple had gotten married.

There has been no official wedding announcements released by either Jacob Batalon or Veronica Leahov yet. They also haven't disclosed the time or place of the ceremony.

Leahov is a Moldova-born interior designer based in New York. Despite dating one of Marvel's most popular stars for several years, she has mostly stayed away from the spotlight. The couple have always preferred to keep their relationship private and have only made a few public appearances together.

From Romantic Proposal to Private Wedding

The marriage follows the news of Batalon proposing to Leahov in New York City in March 2025. He posted photos from the romantic candlelit proposal on Instagram to announce the engagement.

Along with the photos, Batalon wrote, "The beginning of the rest of our lives together." Leahov also shared her happiness and described the special moment as "the purest happiness" she had ever experienced. After that, the couple made a rare public appearance together at the premiere of Novocaine, where Batalon appeared in a supporting role.

Couple Chose to Keep Their Relationship Out of the Spotlight

They have had a private love relationship which has been likened to their other Spider-Man castmates Tom Holland and Zendaya. Batalon also touched on fan speculations that the two Spider-Man couples were in sync with their engagement. However, he was willing to admit that he and Holland were both not aware of the other's intent to propose, thus ending the speculation.
