RJ Mitte, the actor best known for his portrayal of Walter “Flynn” White Jr. on the Emmy-winning series Breaking Bad, has announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Kennedy Suarez. The couple’s heartwarming news was confirmed exclusively to People on October 16, 2025.
Mitte, 33, proposed to Suarez, 30, during a deeply personal and meaningful moment at the 56th Annual Dia del Sol benefit gala for United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of San Diego — an organization close to his heart. The event coincided with Suarez’s birthday on October 10, making the occasion even more special.
The couple, who have been close friends for more than a decade and romantically involved for the past five years, shared their joy with family and friends at the gala. Mitte, who has cerebral palsy and serves as an ambassador for UCP, described Suarez as his “everything” and “the person who makes me want to be better every day.”
Suarez, who has largely stayed out of the public eye, has been a constant source of support throughout Mitte’s acting and advocacy career. Their relationship has been described as grounded, loving, and built on mutual respect.
Currently living together in Brownsville, Texas, the couple are not rushing into wedding planning just yet. For now, they’re enjoying the engagement and celebrating this next chapter in their love story.
Mitte, who became a fan favorite through Breaking Bad and has since worked on numerous film and television projects, continues to inspire fans both on and off screen through his advocacy for disability inclusion and empowerment.
