‘Peacemaker” creator James Gunn and series star Jennifer Holland are engaged after 7 years together. The 55-year-old filmmaker and 35-year-old actress announced the news on social media. Gunn simply wrote “
” in the caption of his Instagram post, which featured a photo of Holland sipping from a mug with a diamond ring visible on her left hand. Holland simply posted a picture of the couple with the caption “Happiness”. Holland and Gunn have been in a relationship since 2015, when they were first introduced by their mutual friend Michael Rosenbaum.
Gunn is the director of box office hits such as the Guardians of the Galaxy series and The Suicide Squad, as well as the writer, director, and creator of the Suicide Squad spin-off series Peacemaker, starring John Cena as the titular superhero. Holland first teamed-up with Gunn in the 2019 superhero horror film Brightburn, produced by Gunn. She joined the DCEU with last year’s The Suicide Squad, which was written and directed by Gunn, and originated the onscreen role of Emilia Harcourt, an A.R.G.U.S. agent assisting the rag-tag group of supers through their mission from the comms room. In HBO Max’s Peacemaker, Harcourt is part of the black ops team working on “Project Butterfly,” fighting against the parasitic butterfly-like alien species that’s begun taking human form.
