RJ Mitte of Breaking Bad fame is engaged to his longtime girlfriend Kennedy Suarez.
The 33-year-old actor RJ Mitte who played Walter ‘Flynn’ White Jr. on the Bryan Cranston-led drama popped the question to Kennedy on Friday, which was her 30th birthday.
‘I’m thrilled to have found my person, my partner in life who makes me want to be better, no matter what we’re doing,’ RJ Mitte told People.
He gushed, ‘Kennedy is my everything and I can’t wait to officially start our life together and see what adventures life takes us on next.’
RJ Mitte, who has cerebral palsy, proposed at the 56th annual Dia del Sol 2025 benefit in Carlsbad, California. The fundraising event benefitted United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of San Diego, for which he is an ambassador.
Following the engagement, Suarez took to Instagram to write, ‘My 30th felt like a fairytale…. I have the man of my dreams by my side & we are doing what we love most — helping others.’
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders affecting movement, posture, and balance due to abnormal brain development or damage.
Symptoms range from muscle stiffness and poor motor control to difficulties with balance and coordination.
According to People, in his UCP ambassador role Mitte hosts various fundraisers.
His wife-to-be has also become deeply involved in the organization.
One day after their engagement, the couple attended the Disability Rights Legal Center’s 50th Anniversary FDR Gala in Los Angeles.
The pair, who live in Brownsville, Texas, enjoy being advocates and the actor is president of The Mitte Foundation, his family’s Austin-based charity.
The Foundation rejuvenates and funds South Texas-based marginalized communities.
Suarez’s remote position as an HR Generalist allows her to travel with Mitte to his appearances and the sets of his film projects.
His latest movie Westhampton premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.
He additionally has an upcoming film called Love Me Dead, in which he co-stars alongside Dove Cameron.
In 2019, five years after Breaking Bad, Mitte admitted he still misses being a part of the show’s cast.
‘That’s going to follow me ’til the day I die,’ he told The Sydney Morning Herald as he reflected on his time on the hit AMC series.
Elsewhere in the interview the star said he hopes more disabled celebrities will emerge in the future.
Mitte paid tribute to his future wife days ago, marking her birthday with a carousel of images.
He wrote in the caption, ‘Happy birthday to my everything. You are so amazing, I can’t believe all the things we do together. You make me better and want to be better!!!’
