Australian actor Sam Worthington appears to have let slip that he and model Lara Bingle are married during a scuffle with a paparazzo in New York.
The 37-year-old actor is heard yelling "You ****ing kicked my wife" in video footage of the altercation with photographer Sheng Li in Greenwich Village over the weekend.
Worthington's use of the word "wife" seems to confirm speculation he and Bingle have secretly wed.
The pair have been an item since October, but in January the model's friend Vicki Lee posted a cryptic image on Instagram showing Bingle at a beach wedding set-up with the caption "Here comes the bride, all dressed in bikini @mslbingle".
The Perth-born actor was also photographed with a band on his ring finger while having lunch with the model in Sydney on January 28 before she faced court over driving with a suspended license.
Worthington used the word wife three times during the heated exchange with the paparazzo, who the actor said had blocked the Australian model's path and then deliberately kicked her in the shin.
"Did you get that mate? He kicked a girl," Worthington seems to say to nearby bystanders.
Worthington allegedly retaliated by punching Li in the face.
The Avatar star was arrested by the NYPD and charged with one count of assault in the third degree and released from custody soon after.
He is scheduled to appear in a Manhattan court on Wednesday.
The photographer was also arrested, and charged with assault, reckless endangerment and harassment.
