Oscar nominee Riz Ahmed just made it red-carpet official with his wife Fatima Farheen Mirza.
This marks their first public appearance since Riz spilled the news back in January that he was married.
Ahmed, who is up for Best Actor for his role in “Sound of Metal,” looked dapper in a black tuxedo, while Fatima beamed in a turquoise gown.
Just a few days ago, Riz thanked Mirza in his acceptance speech after winning a Film Independent Spirit Award. He told her, "This is all for you."
Ahmed recently opened up to Jimmy Kimmel about his “corny” proposal and how she thought he was kidding around!

He continued, "Maybe the way I proposed didn't help because she's a novelist, she's amazing with words.”
Riz explained, "She loves a bit of Scrabble. So we were actually playing Scrabble and I did that corny thing where I stole all the correct letters up and spelled out, 'Will you marry me?'"
He had previously told Jimmy Fallon in January that the pair tied the knot in a “super intimate and socially distant” backyard wedding.
