Jacob Batalon, 29, has officially married interior designer Veronica Leahov. While promoting Spider-Man: Brand New Day alongside Tom Holland and Zendaya, Batalon casually referred to Leahov as his “wife” while joking about nicknames. “My wife calls me big dog. She doesn’t. I wish she did,” he said in an interview. The actor was also seen wearing a wedding band during the interview and at the film’s Los Angeles premiere on July 27. Leahov also quietly updated her surname on her professional website to “Veronica Leahov Batalon.” The couple announced their engagement in March 2025 on social media after Batalon proposed during a romantic nighttime outing in New York City. At the time, he joked that Holland and Zendaya had “copied” his engagement timeline after the pair engaged two months earlier. Leahov, an architectural designer originally from Moldova, earned her master’s degree in interior design from New York City’s Fashion Institute of Technology in 2022. The newlyweds’ marriage comes just days before the newest Spider-Man opens in theaters on Friday. The Marvel blockbuster, in which Batalon reprises his role as Peter Parker’s best friend Ned Leeds, is projected to debut with a historic $465 million worldwide opening weekend.
