“Being in the public eye is a great thing. It allows me to do what I love to do, which is act in movies, but it’s a choice that I made,” Gordon-Levitt, 35, shared during a 2015 appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael. “And that has its upsides and honestly, some downsides.”
He continued: “My son… he hasn’t made the choice to be in the public eye, and that’s a choice that I would like him to be able to make when he’s older, when he can think about these kinds of things and make that decision for himself. So, for now, I’m just a protective dad, and I want to protect his privacy.”
News of Gordon-Levitt and McCauley’s relationship first became public when Levitt spoke to Howard Stern in 2013 about dating someone out of the spotlight.
“I have a girlfriend but I tend not to really like to talk about it in public,” he said, declining to give her name. “The girl that I’m with, she really doesn’t want to be a part of that.”
McCauley earned her bachelor’s degree in robotics and has an MBA business education and research.
The happy news was first reported by E! News.
