Evan Rachel Wood, who's vowed to wear only pants to awards shows this season, turned up at the Screen Actors Guild awards Sunday wearing something else: a non-traditional engagement ring.
Wood, star of HBO's sci-fi drama Westworld, was overheard at the SAGs introducing boyfriend and band mate Zach Villa as her fiancé. On Monday, one of her representatives confirmed in an email statement to USA TODAY that it was true.
On the SAGs red carpet, Wood, 29, wore a dark blue velvety jacket with a classic tuxedo stripe and matching cropped pants by Altuzarra, but it was the silver bands that she and Villa wore on their left ring fingers that some sharp-eyed reporters noticed.
Wood and Villa met in 2015 when they performed together at a cabaret, according to US Weekly. They launched their musical duo group Rebel and a Basketcase that same year.
This will be Wood's second marriage; she was previously married to British actor Jamie Bell from 2012 to 2014, and the two have a 3-year-old son.
Bell is now engaged to actress Kate Mara.
Westworld, based on a 1973 film of the same name about a Western theme park of the future populated by human-like androids, was nominated for three SAGs but went home empty-handed.
Wood made headlines last year after she revealed she had been a victim of rape twice in her past, in response to President Donald Trump's election.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, the actress, who came out as bisexual in 2011, was candid about her trauma, saying Trump's rise had caused her to question her "reasons for staying vague about my experiences as a girl growing up in America".
"I've been raped. By a significant other while we were together. And on a separate occasion, by the owner of a bar. I don't believe we live in a time where people can stay silent any longer. Not given the state our world is in with its blatant bigotry and sexism," she wrote by email to the publication, in a letter she later released in full on her Twitter account.
"I think, like a lot of women, I had the urge to not make it a sob story, to not make it about me," she added.
