“Australia is where our family is and where we recharge,” Centenera previously told Vogue.

“I just ran away from the hospital for a moment,” he told media mogul Oprah Winfrey. “I can’t even put it into words. I’m in love.”

The couple, who began dating in 2018, have kept their relationship mostly private.

Edgerton and Centenera, 39, knew each other for 20 years before they began dating.

“We’re both very motivated and have hectic travel schedules but it really works for us in an unconventional way,” she once said.

“The fact that we don’t work in the same industry is refreshing for us,” she said. “We’re in awe of what each other do.”
