Anya Taylor-Joy ties knot with Malcolm McRae in private ceremony

Anya Taylor-Joy, who starred in The Queen's Gambit, is now happily married. The 26-year-old star exchanged vows in a small court ceremony with her musician lover, Malcolm McRae, according to a report by Page Six. The pair apparently married in a private ceremony in the US before Anya flew to Australia to continue filming the Mad Max spinoff Furiosa. The couple has made very few and minimal media appearances since they started dating nearly a year ago to avoid the spotlight.

The couple's relationship
The couple made their first appearance when they walked the red carpet after the Oscars After Party in March of this year. The actress was photographed by some journalists in New York flaunting a diamond ring, which sparked last month's suspicions about the couple's engagement. However, the actress' spokesperson apparently turned down the request for comments.

According to the reports, the couple was sighted in Sydney, where the actress was still flashing her gleaming diamond ring.


Anya stated about her relationship during one of her appearances, accepting that she had finally found someone who would gladly sit quietly with me while reading.

Along with that, Malcolm also posted a photo of himself and Anya on his Instagram account. He expressed how he is proud of Anya.

Anya Taylor-Joy appears to be the most recent celebrity to follow the trend of secret weddings, which has been the way to go in the world of celebrities nowadays.

Marrying in a private ceremony has become a growing trend among celebrities. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck did the same.

According to reports, the couple intended to get married before she had to leave for Australia to resume filming the sequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, in which Taylor-Joy is playing the lead role.
