RJ Mitte Was Engaged to Kennedy Suarez

Mitte’s unexpected death comes just over a year after he proposed to his then-girlfriend of five years, Kennedy Suarez.

“I’m thrilled to have found my person, my partner in life who makes me want to be better, no matter what we’re doing,” Mitte told People. “Kennedy is my everything and I can’t wait to officially start our life together and see what adventures life takes us on next.”

Mitte, who has cerebral palsy, proposed during his appearance at the 56th annual Dia del Sol 2025 benefit event titled “Ethereal Elegance, A Shimmering Celebration” at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, Calif. The special fundraising gala, hosted by The Beach & Country Guild, benefitted United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of San Diego, of which he’s an official ambassador.

Mitte also starred in The Oak Room, Westhampton and the Netflix animated series The Guardians of Justice.
