The Queen’s Gambit and The Super Mario Bros. Movie actress Anya Taylor-Joy married musician Malcolm McRae, her boyfriend of several years, in a secret ceremony on April Fool’s Day in 2022, as she announced via Instagram just days ago. Marriage rumors between the two had circulated in 2022, but the couple didn’t confirm their relationship status then. In the fall of 2023, the actress and musician threw a marriage ceremony in Italy, having the world believing they hadn’t wed until then.
Taylor-Joy both shared the news and honored her husband on their anniversary in her Instagram post. “Two years ago, on April Fools, I secretly married my best friend in New Orleans. The magic of that day is ingrained in every cell of my being, forever. Happy second ( first ) anniversary my love…you’re the coolest,” she said. The bride included photos and video footage from the day, noting that model Cara Delevingne and photographer Sebastián Faena were among the guests at the intimate event.

One photo from Taylor-Joy’s photo carousel caught fans’ attention: their unusual dessert choice. As she explained in her caption, “Yes, those are anatomically correct heart cakes. Yes, I am the vampire Lestat.” Finally, the actress added that her wedding gown was made by French design house Dior.
Ahead of celebrating her secret wedding, Taylor-Joy celebrated another secret: her role in Dune: Part Two. The actress had an uncredited role in the film, a rumor that was confirmed after Taylor-Joy arrived at the movie’s London premiere. She joined Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Austin Butler, and more in the star-studded cast. If Anya Taylor-Joy married in secret and filmed a part in a blockbuster movie in secret, what other fun surprises does the actress have waiting for fans?
