Newly Married Anya Taylor-Joy Back In Australia For 'Furiosa'

Actress Anya Taylor-Joy just got hitched to Malcolm McRae!!

Since her breakthrough role in Robert Eggers' "The Witch," Taylor-Joy has grown to be an icon on both the big and small screen. Yet, for such a high-profile star, only little is known about her personal life. 

She, however, revealed the existence of a romantic partner after getting photographed engaging in a bit of street PDA with singer McRae in 2021. The pair finally went red-carpet official in 2022 while attending the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party. 

According to recent reports, the couple has taken things a step further just after one year of dating. 

Read on for more details.

As reported by Page Six, their intimate wedding ceremony occurred in a courthouse in the United States.

The outlet also shared that Taylor-Joy jetted back to Australia after getting married, so that she could continue filming "Furiosa," a prequel to "Mad Max: Fury Road." 

She'd be playing a younger version of Charlize Theron's character in the earlier movie, which featured Tom Hardy taking over the Mad Max title from Mel Gibson.

McRae, an Alabama native, is also an actor but has a major interest in playing the guitar and piano in his rock band, more*, alongside bandmate Kane Richotte.

Sources also shared that the duo plan to have a bigger ceremony once they return to the US.

Rumors of their engagement began to make rounds when the "Peaky Blinders" actress was spotted wearing a diamond ring in some paparazzi pictures while she was on her way to Sydney.

"She bounded off the plane and then seemed to flash the ring at her driver before getting in the car. She was either showing off the ring or doing a dance move. Either way, she looked ecstatic," an onlooker shared via The Daily Mail.

While Taylor-Joy and McRae have kept their relationship under wraps, the pair began dating in early 2021. The actress confirmed this during an Elle interview, where she referred to him as her partner.

McRae also made their relationship social media official as he shared a picture of himself and the actress from the Vanity Fair bash and, in the captions, gushed about his girlfriend, adding, "I'm f--king proud of this girl."

Owing to the nature of Taylor-Joy's career, their relationship turned out to be a long-distance one. However, the actress shared that although a long-distance relationship might be trying, they have tried to make it work.

"Yes, it is hard, but it is also kind of great because when you are together, you're really valuing the time you have," she began, per British Vogue. "Everyday mundane activities are so full of joy. I love going to the petrol station with him, filling up the car, and getting breakfast."

The actress continued, "I said to my partner the other day that he was my hobby. I see reading as something that I have to do. He loved it because he's the same. 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 well."

While the news of Taylor-Joy tying the knot came with varied emotions from fans, most were shocked. 

"Anya Taylor-Joy MARRIED ????" a fan tweeted in astonishment. "Fell to my knees in a Starbucks," said another.

One Twitter user shared, "Streets are saying Anya Taylor-Joy got married," alongside the image of a man staring intently into an iPhone with a sad look on his face.

"I want to say I am happy for her, but then I realized that there is nothing joyful abt the woman of your dreams getting married. My will to live has perished," a fan commented, adding a crying GIF.

Some fans also expressed disappointment that the actress was off the market, with one tweeting, "I hope they're happy," in addition to a GIF of a crying man to show how bittersweet the news was.
