What is the timeline of Malcolm McRae and Anya Taylor-Joy’s relationship?
McRae and Taylor-Joy’s exact relationship timeline is hard to pin down as both are very private people, rarely talking about their personal or romantic lives during interviews or other appearances.
However, the pair were first linked in May 2021, when they were seen sharing an intimate moment in New York, hours before Taylor-Joy was scheduled to appear on Saturday Night Live. While they didn’t publicly confirm anything at the time, many believed that Taylor-Joy was referring to McRae in an interview with Elle when she said:
“My partner’s just come back from work, and he’s moving around all of his equipment, so this was the safe spot.”
In June 2022, the rumors intensified when Taylor-Joy was seen wearing a wedding ring while walking around Sydney, Australia. Then in July 2022, various press outlets confirmed that the pair had quickly and secretly wed between projects and that Malcolm McRae had basically moved into Taylor-Joy’s home. So it feels fairly safe to assume that the relationship is official.
