Elijah Wood is officially a married man … tying the knot with his longtime partner Mette-Marie Kongsved.

The “Lord of The Rings” star set off alarms recently when he referred to Mette-Marie as his wife on a podcast … so we did some digging and found out the couple has a marriage license on file in Los Angeles County.

Thing is … Elijah and Mette-Marie chose a confidential marriage license … so it’s unclear when exactly they tied the knot.

Elijah called Mette-Marie his wife earlier last month on an episode of the “Inside of You” podcast … with host Michael Rosenbaum also referring to the film producer as Elijah’s wife.

The couple are notoriously private about their relationship … they went public with their romance in January 2018 and have two children together, a son and a daughter.

As we reported … witnesses say Elijah and Mette-Marie got married in Sweden on New Year’s Eve in what was described to us as an intimate ceremony with around 80 friends and family.

Now we know they’re at least legally hitched in the States.

Former junior lightweight boxing champion Jamel Herring‘s domestic violence charge stemming from an alleged altercation in January has been dropped, TMZ Sports has learned.

Herring’s attorney — Clyde Bennett — released a statement on the development on Thursday … saying there was “insufficient evidence to prove that he committed any crime against his wife” and the “investigation demonstrated her claim against Mr. Herring were false.”

Bennett added Herring has since been released from jail and is now looking forward to putting the whole ordeal behind him.

Too Short is advocating for Kendrick Lamar NOT to perform “Not Like Us” at Super Bowl LIX … he thinks the Grammy-winning diss track has done its maximum damage!!!

We caught up with Short in West Hollywood at The Abbey as he got back into the groove following his brother’s tragic murder … and the “Blow The Whistle” star was happy to dish sports commentary.

In terms of the Big Game, Short says he’s pulling for anyone but the Chiefs, so the Eagles in this case.

Patrick Mahomes‘ squad dominated the AFC West Conference which houses Short’s beloved Raiders … so it’s clear the Short Dog’s a little salty this year.

He’s also confident Kendrick will dominate his halftime performance but doesn’t feel he needs to perform “Not Like Us.”

Short says it’ll be a bigger flex for K. Dot to skip flaming Drake on sports’ biggest stage … simply because of how well it performed. He thinks it would be a bigger flex for Kendrick to let the song live in minds rent-free.
