Amid this summer’s marathon wedding season, it’s always fun to see someone opt for a more casual ceremony. (See Bennifer’s slapdash Vegas wedding, or, even better, secret courthouse nuptials.) On Tuesday, “Page Six” reported that the Queen’s Gambit actress Anya Taylor-Joy secretly married musician Malcolm McRae in an “intimate courthouse wedding.”
It’s unclear exactly when this intimate wedding took place, but Taylor-Joy and McRae reportedly dated for a year before tying the knot. Taylor-Joy, who has previously called herself “quite a private person,” first alluded to their relationship in an April 2021 interview with Elle, in which she seemingly referred to McRae, one-half of the rock band More, as “my partner.” Taylor-Joy later opened up to British Vogue about the relationship, describing how the couple navigated long distance by appreciating “everyday mundane activities” like “going to the petrol station” and reading in mutual silence.
“I finally found someone who will happily sit in silence with me reading,” Taylor-Joy told Vogue. “We’re basically 80 years old and seven at the same time and it works really well.” Other than the occasional film premiere makeout and the time McRae publicly dedicated a song to Taylor-Joy, the couple have kept a low profile. They first sparked engagement rumors last month, when Taylor-Joy was photographed wearing a green-diamond ring in Sydney.
Anya, 26, has been has been linked to Malcolm, 28, since last year, making their romance Instagram official in October 2021. The musician was also on hand to support the actress during her first hosting gig on Saturday Night Live back in May.
During a recent interview with British Vogue, Anya opened up about her special connection with Malcolm, gushing about how similar the two are.
Neither McRae nor Taylor-Joy have publicly commented on reports of their marriage, and there are few details about the ceremony itself, with Harper’s Bazaar reporting that the couple wed “somewhere in the U.S.” before flying back to Australia, where Taylor-Joy is currently shooting the film Furiosa. Per “Page Six,” the secret newlyweds were seen in Sydney on Monday, with Taylor-Joy wearing her ring, a sweater, and jeans. It’s all very low-key, but then sources say the couple plan to “have a bigger ceremony” when they return to the States. Congratulations to them, and I personally can’t wait to see what Taylor-Joy, patron saint of good style, chooses as her wedding dress.
Referencing their long-distance relationship, Taylor-Joy said, "Yes, it is [difficult], but it's also kind of great because when you're together you're really valuing the time that you have."
She continued: "Everyday mundane activities are so full of joy. I love going to the petrol station with him and filling up the car and going to get breakfast."
Taylor-Joy and McRae were seen out and about in London in April.
Recently, her now-husband posted a picture with Taylor-Joy from the night of the Vanity Fair Oscar party and wrote, how "proud" he is of the actress.
"Don’t know why this Merry or Pippin lookin guy on the left is mean mugging but I’m f-king proud of this girl," he said.
Taylor-Joy and McRae began dating in early 2021, and the actor essentially confirmed their romance during a talk with Elle that April, referring to him as her “partner.” Speaking about their long-distance relationship, she said, “Yes, it is [difficult], but it’s also kind of great because when you’re together you’re really valuing the time that you have. Everyday mundane activities are so full of joy. I love going to the petrol station with him and filling up the car and going to get breakfast.”
Is it quite fast? Yes. Are we firm believers that when it is right, it's right? Absolutely. And crucially, as long as ATJ is happy, so are we. Anya Taylor-Joy and Malcom McRae, we wish you all the happiness, and please, please share your wedding photos with us soon.
That same year, she revealed cute deets about their non-traditional engagement. “He proposed to me at [New York City restaurant] Minetta Tavern and he didn’t have a ring, so I was like, ‘Mmm, nah,’” she explained on The Tonight Show. “And then he took the paper clip that the bill was paid with and made me a ring, which I actually thought was really romantic.”
celeb weddings, Anya Taylor-Joy reportedly married boyfriend Malcolm McRae in a small courthouse ceremony in July 2022. A source revealed the actors tied the knot before heading to Australia where Taylor-Joy is currently filming Furiosa, the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel. (Elite Daily reached out to Taylor-Joy’s rep for comment on the reported wedding, but did not hear back in time for publication.) I know, I know, the details here are... lacking. Still, here’s what I *do* know about the reported wedding.
Engagement rumors first started in June after Taylor-Joy was reportedly seen wearing a green diamond ring on her left hand while out and about with McRae in Sydney, Australia. A witness even claimed that Taylor-Joy was showing off her maybe-engagement ring. “She bounded off the plane and then seemed to flash the ring at her driver before getting in the car,” the source told Daily Mail. “She was either showing off the ring or doing a dance move. Either way, she looked ecstatic."
Taylor-Joy and McRae’s reportedly hush-hush wedding isn’t exactly a surprise. Fans of the couple know all too well how private this duo is. They were first spotted together in March 2021, and a month later, in April 2021, Taylor-Joy referred to her mysterious “partner” in an interview with Elle. She didn’t name any names though.

While that interview didn’t give away much info, Taylor-Joy did offer a bit more insight into their relationship a year later in the April 2022 issue of British Vogue. Apparently, Taylor-Joy and McRae like to keep things low-key. The actor explained, “I’ve finally found someone who will happily sit in silence with me reading. We’re basically 80 years old and seven at the same time and it works really well.” Goals.
That’s not all. Apparently, their sweet romance can make just about anything enjoyable. “Everyday mundane activities are so full of joy. I love going to the petrol station with him and filling up the car and going to get breakfast,” she added to British Vogue at the time, explaining to the silver lining of long distance.
Not every romance is meant to last. From their paper-clip proposal to her trend-launching engagement ring to their low-key courthouse wedding, Emily Ratajkowski and Sebastian Bear-McClard were the definition of #relationshipgoals. But four years after they tied the knot, it appears their love story may have ended. Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard reportedly broke up amid rumors that the actor cheated on the model.
The rumor mill began on July 15, when a source claimed EmRata planned to file for divorce from Bear-McClard, her husband of four years, as a result of his alleged infidelity. “Yeah, he cheated,” the source told Page Six. “He’s a serial cheater. It’s gross. He’s a dog.” Around the same time, eagle-eyed fans noticed Ratajkowski was running errands without her wedding ring, and it was even missing from recent Instagram posts.
On July 18, a source who is reportedly close to Ratajowski told People the couple was going separate ways. “They split recently. It was Em’s decision. She is doing OK. She is strong and focused on her son. She loves being a mom,” the insider said, claiming that the model will indeed be filling for divorce.
Since they wed just a few weeks after they were first photographed together, many assumed they had a love-at-first-sight whirlwind romance. But in 2018, EmRata told Busy Tonight, “We knew each other for a long time before and he likes to joke, ‘Yeah, everyone thinks we got married quickly, but you vetted me for two years.’”
Rest assured, the couple eventually swapped the paper clip ring for some unique bling. In July 2018, she debuted her diamond ring on Instagram. It’s a toi et moi (two-stone) style, featuring a massive square-cut rock next to an equally massive pear-shaped one. Four years later, the style is basically everywhere.
