Victoria Pedretti announced her engagement to Ethan DeLorenzo in July 2025. The couple’s private relationship has sparked fan curiosity, but DeLorenzo’s journey from the music industry to off-grid living is equally compelling. Here’s everything you need to know about the multidisciplinary artist.
The Engagement Announcement
Victoria Pedretti and Ethan DeLorenzo made their engagement public in July 2025. Pedretti, known for her roles in You and The Haunting of Hill House, shared a joint Instagram post with DeLorenzo, a photographer and filmmaker. She wrote, “It’s no secret I’m deeply in love or that I’m engaged to Ethan. I tell everyone I meet.” The post included a rare photo of the couple, offering fans a glimpse into their private relationship. DeLorenzo added on his Instagram Story, “Ooooo, the love we are making together is out of this world. Here’s to forever,” per The Tab.
A Multidisciplinary Artist with a Strong Connection to Nature
DeLorenzo is a self-described “father/wild forager/naturalist/director/recording artist/photographer/gardener,” with a career spanning short documentaries, photography, and music. His 2025 documentary Cider Creek Collective follows a group of ceramicists and features music played on handmade instruments. His Instagram offers glimpses into his work and personal life, often featuring natural environments and community living. In April 2025, he posted a carousel of photos of Pedretti, captioned “some photo evidence of our wild hearts frolicking around.” Pedretti shared the same photos on her Instagram, tagging DeLorenzo.
From the Music Industry to Off-Grid Living
DeLorenzo’s early career was rooted in the music industry. After graduating high school, he moved to Brooklyn and began working in recording studios, eventually collaborating with artists like Rihanna, T.I., and Kid Cudi. He joined a band called U.G.L.Y. (Underneath Greatness Lies You) with Teyana Taylor, which led to a move to Los Angeles. However, DeLorenzo’s life took a pivotal turn during a 2010 trip to Hawaii with Rihanna. This experience brought clarity to his career and personal life, leading him to meet the mother of his child, Jena Malone.
Fatherhood and Community Farming
DeLorenzo shares a son, Ode Mountain, with actress Jena Malone. The couple initially moved to Big Sur, California, and later lived in a van while traveling up the coast looking for community farmland. When they separated, DeLorenzo relocated to Vashon Island, Washington, to be closer to his son. He spoke about the moment he learned Malone was expecting Ode, saying, “When she told me she was pregnant, I was just so happy. I felt such a purpose and like I was prepared for it.” DeLorenzo managed a small community farm on Vashon Island, describing the lifestyle as transformational. “Learning the process of farming, connecting to the trees, growing crops… has made me such a better person and more patient,” he said.
Recent Photos and Future Plans
In January 2026, DeLorenzo shared new photos of Pedretti, captioned “a mix of photos taken by myself and by my lover,” referring to Pedretti. The photos, taken at a house in the woods, show Pedretti posing in natural settings, further highlighting the couple’s shared love for nature and privacy.
