Guy Pearce ignited marriage speculation on Monday when he stepped out wearing a wedding band at the 34th Annual Gotham Film Awards.
The Australian actor, 57, who first shot to fame on Neighbours in the mid 1980s, has been dating Dutch actress Carice van Houten for nine years.
While the couple share son Monte, eight, the TV stars never hinted at being engaged or married—until Guy arrived at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City wearing a ring.
The Memento star proudly flashed the thick silver band, which appeared to be engraved, as he walked the red carpet at the awards ceremony.
Looking dapper in a grey checked suit, the English born star was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Performance for his role in The Brutalist.
With a white button-down shirt on under the fashionable jacket, Guy elevated his look with a black tie, brown boots, and black framed eye-wear.

At one point, he was pictured fixing his tie with his left hand, displaying his apparent wedding band for all to see.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Guy’s representatives for comment.
Guy, who currently lives in Amsterdam with his partner Carice, 48, welcomed his first child to the world with the Game of Thrones star in 2016.
He revealed in an interview with The Independent last year that parenthood has changed his entire outlook on life and made him more emotional.
‘After Monte was born, someone said to me, “You realise you’re now living with your heart on the outside?” And it really is true, isn’t it?’ he told the publication.
‘When I started acting, I knew if I needed to cry that it could come out easily. Then after 15 years of therapy, I became a far calmer and more satisfied human being, but trying to cry in a scene became impossible.
‘Since having my boy though, I cry at the drop of a hat again…’
Earlier that same year, he admitted to Who Magazine that being a new father in his 50s has its challenges.

‘Having a young child at the ripe old age of 53 is a lot, but I am focused on spending all the time I can with him and being the best dad I can be,’ the Melbourne-raised star said.
Guy, who first rose to fame on Neighbours, added that he hopes to bring his boy Down Under in the future.
‘He’s seen some Australian animals in the zoo in Amsterdam, but it will be great to show him our wildlife back in Australia,’ Guy said.
Guy and Carice started dating a few months after his split from ex-wife Kate Mestitz in 2015.
Back in 2018, Guy revealed in an interview with Andrew Denton that it was Kate who decided to end their 18-year marriage when the couple split.
He said he was heartbroken when fans labelled him a ‘b*****d’ for assuming he left his wife for Carice, when in fact they started dating months after his split.
The Priscilla, Queen of the Desert star admitted he was blindsided when Kate abruptly called it quits, but said he still loves and respects his ex-wife.
