Meet Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Wife, Tasha McCauley, Met The Actor Via A Mutual Friend, Is A Scientist

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood. Many might not be aware, but he started his acting career at the very young age of 6 in the late ‘90s. Some of the films he appeared in as a child include A River Runs Through It (1992), Angels in the Outfield (1994), and Holy Matrimony (1994).

However, in 2004, he changed his mind and dropped out of university, and soon returned to the movie screens. At the time, Joseph acted in a number of hit films, including G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009), Inception (2010), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Unfortunately, following the death of his older brother, Dan Gordon-Levitt, the actor has taken a step back from mainstream projects to focus on his family life. After quite a while, Joseph is set to make his comeback in 2026 with his new collaboration with Netflix for an untitled AI thriller starring Rachel McAdams. With his professional life hogging the limelight, let’s take a look at Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s relationship with his wife, Tasha McCauley, who has quietly been supporting the actor behind the scenes.

He went on to explain that he was first introduced to Tasha McCauley by a mutual friend, although he did not mention her by name. In his words: 

“I have a girlfriend, but I tend not to really like to talk about it in public. The girl that I’m with, she really doesn’t want to be a part of that.”

In 2015, when Joseph made an appearance on Live with Kelly and Michael, he said that he wants his kids to decide for themselves whether they want to be in the spotlight. Giving the example of his son, Joseph said: 

“My son…he hasn’t made the choice to be in the public eye, and that’s a choice that I would like him to be able to make when he’s older, when he can think about these kinds of things and make that decision for himself. So, for now, I’m just a protective dad, and I want to protect his privacy.”
