Ian Harding Recaps Entire "PLL" Series in a Minute

Ian Harding's Pretty Little Liars character was known for keeping secrets, and as it turns out, the actor himself is equally skilled at keeping things quiet. 

A source connected to the 34-year-old star tells E! News exclusively that he and longtime girlfriend Sophie Hart quietly tied the knot nearly two years ago, with the wedding ceremony taking place back in October 2019.

In an Instagram post from earlier this month, the performer, known for playing Ezra Fitz on the popular Freeform series, shared a carousel of pics showing himself resting in both a wicker chair and in a net attached to a tree. His post included a close-up image of the tree pic, which made it clear he was wearing a ring on that finger.

"Back in LA and living the good life (as in napping in trees and baskets)," Ian captioned the post. 

In February, the star posted a throwback shot to Instagram of himself on a road trip that also offered a subtle glimpse at his wedding ring. "#fbf To road trips, beards, and the truck that photobombed this shot. (And nearly killed me...)," he wrote at the time. 

Sophie is a Los Angeles-based photographer and set designer whose relationship with Ian dates back to 2011. Although she rarely posts personal images to her Instagram page, she shared a photo in May 2017 of him jumping in the air while holding a pair of binoculars.

"Can't believe #oddbirds is out tomorrow!!!," she captioned the shot, adding a heart emoji. The message referenced Ian's book Odd Birds, which offered information about his life story in addition to tapping into his love of birdwatching. 

Since his breakout role as the love interest to Lucy Hale's Aria on PLL, Ian more recently has had a recurring role on NBC's Chicago Med and appeared in the Oscar-winning 2019 film Ford v Ferrari. 

E! News reached out to Ian's rep for comment and did not hear back. 

I love the art/doodles you post on Instagram—do you sell them?

Aw, thank you so much! Yes, I do sell them through my Society6 page, which you can find by clicking HERE. (And bonus: Society6 lets you put the art on all kinds of fun things like pillows, tote bags, phone cases, etc.) I don’t upload every drawing, just the most popular/most requested (scanning them and formatting them takes quite a lot of time). So if there’s something you wanted that’s missing, let me know and I’ll see about adding it.

Will you please please please come visit my town/school?

Aw, I’m so happy you want to meet me—I promise, I want to meet you, too! But I actually don’t get to choose where I’ll be touring for my events. My publisher decides what cities to send me to every year, so all I can really say is: “hopefully someday we’ll get to meet!” And sometimes I’m able to schedule a school visit with a teacher or librarian, but it depends on a number of things. You can find out more about that on my Educators page.

It's my (or my friend/daughter/son/cousin/niece/nephew/person-I-just-like's) birthday/graduation/any-old-day-but-they're-a-super-huge-fan. Can you send a special card/email/video/Skype/etc. to make it extra awesome for them?

I get a lot of these kind of requests (seriously, a LOT). And that’s a huge honor. But it also makes it impossible for me to say “yes” to everyone. So that means the only way to be truly fair is to say “no” to everyone instead. Sorry. There just aren’t enough hours in the day.

Can you send me a free book for my library/blog contest/because-I-really-really-want-one?

Alas, I wish I could afford to do this. But the fact of the matter is, I get a very limited amount of author copies of my books, and I donate them to my local schools, libraries, and literacy charities.

I missed the pre-order giveaway, can you send me swag anyway?

Again, this is one of those things I wish I could do. But my publisher prints a limited supply of all the swaggish goodies—only enough to cover the pre-order giveaway and my tour events—and after that, it’s all gone and I have nothing left to give.

Can I mail you my books and have you sign them and return them—I’ll even pay for postage?

Unfortunately, I’m just not set up to do this. It would be a mailing nightmare, so I have to say no.

Is there somewhere I can buy a signed copy of your books?

When I’m on tour, the answer to this question is easy, because not only will I be signing books at all of my events, but many stores also allow you to order signed books and have them shipped, so even if you don’t live close enough to attend the signing, you can still buy signed editions if you call the store ahead of time. But after that, I sadly don’t live near a bookstore that’s set up for shipping, so there isn’t any way to buy a signed copy unless some of the previous tour stops still have some left.

Do you read fanfiction for your series?

Sadly, I don’t. Ever. I’m incredibly honored that readers are inspired by my books. But there are all kinds of complicated legal reasons why I have to stay far away from what they write. For example, if I read a piece of fanfiction, and the writer did something I was planning to do in the later books, that writer might think I stole the idea from them—even though I didn’t. So I never visit fanfiction websites, and if readers email their fanfiction or links to me, sadly my assistant deletes those immediately.

Are you on Wattpad (and if not—will you join)?

I’m not on Wattpad, and I have no plans to join. It seems to be that people only really use Wattpad for two things. 1) to read other people’s fanfiction, in which case, see the answer above. Or 2) to post writing of their own, in which case I unfortunately have too many contracted deadlines to meet before I’ll have time to write anything else. If that ever changes, of course I’ll let you guys know. But at the moment, no wattpad. Sorry!

Do you Follow-back on Twitter?

I wish I could—really, I do. But since most of my readers are under 18—and I am most definitely older than 18—it would look weird and … kinda creepy if I were following all of you. So I only follow people I know. But I do try to respond to my @replies.

Do you Follow-back on Instagram?

Just like with Twitter, I only follow people I know. I love interacting with readers, but the smartest/safest way to do that is for you to follow me—not the other way around. Also, as it says in my instagram profile, I don’t use the DM feature, so if you send me anything direct I’ll never see it.

Can I send you a friend request on Facebook?

Yes, I will accept friend requests from anyone who doesn’t send up a glaring “creeper” flag. (And if you ARE a creeper… please go away!) (*shudder*). But if you private message me on Facebook, you won’t get a reply from me (occasionally my assistant replies, but not to everything). The only messages I reply to are emails. (See my contact page for my email address).

Can I email you?

Yes, there’s a contact page on this website with all the information you’ll need to be able to do that—but please keep in mind that because of deadlines, I no longer have time to personally respond. For quick, important questions, my assistant will sometimes jump in with a reply. But right now, I have to focus on writing.

Do Fitz and Sophie end up together?

They admitted their romantic feelings for each other in Book 7: Flashback, and began to date in Book 8: Legacy. However they later broke up, when Sophie and Fitz said they each just wanted their friend back.

What book do Sophie and Keefe get married?

Keeper of the Lost Cities: Neverseen.

Why did Fitz break up with Sophie?

Therefore, he pressured Sophie to find her biological parents, and why it was so hard for him to accept that she is unmatchable. All this combined with Fitz's anger issues and possessive manner was the reason for their breakup.

Who married Fitz Kotlc?
