Taylor-Joy and McRae sparked dating rumours in May 2021 when they were spotted kissing and holding hands in New York City ahead of the former's "Saturday Night Live" hosting debut. At first, the "Last Night in Soho" actor was slow to confirm their relationship, though she mentioned she had a new partner in her life in her April 2021 interview with Elle. "My partner's just come back from work, and he's moving around all of his equipment, so this was the safe spot," she explained about why she was doing the interview from her bathroom.
The first public mention of their relationship came in July 2021, when McRae posted a photo of Taylor-Joy on Instagram with the caption, "I'm besotted." In September 2021, the couple was photographed kissing again on a hotel balcony in Venice, Italy, Daily Mail reported.
The two also made headlines in March 2022 when they made their red carpet debut at Vanity Fair's Oscars afterparty. A month later, Taylor-Joy brought McRae as her date to the "The Northman" premiere. Since then, they've shared quite a few Instagram photos of each other and also adopted a cat together.
Taylor-Joy and McRae sparked engagement rumours in June 2022 when the former was photographed sporting a sparkling rock on her ring finger, according to the Daily Mail. The following month, a source told Page Six that the couple reportedly got secretly married in a courthouse wedding, though neither has confirmed the news. The Daily Mail reported in October 2023 that Taylor-Joy and McRae had tied the knot in Venice. Neither member of the couple has confirmed the news.
