Joaquin Phoenix Just Fooled EVERYONE! The Actor Is NOT Engaged!

Ugh, Joaquin Phoenix totally fooled us!
While we were absolutely thrilled when Phoenix announced his engagement to a mystery yoga instructor on The Late Show with David Letterman this past Monday, we’re sad to report the pending nuptials are FAKE!

Yep, the 40-year-old is NOT engaged!
On Tuesday, the actor revealed his joke while on Good Morning America, saying:

“My life’s so boring, and it seemed like something exciting to talk about, and I wanted the audience to like me. They really like people getting married. I can get engaged again, if you like.”

Umm, you’ve won a Golden Globe, Joaquin! How is your life BORING?!
Now we’re curious to know if Dave was in on the prank — this wouldn’t be the first time the Her actor pulled a fast one on the late night host!
Le sigh, Joaquin… we thought your hoaxing days were over!
