Anya Taylor-Joy’s Romantic Life Has Always Been a Bit Mysterious – Here’s What We Know

Anya Taylor-Joy has been in increasingly high demand over the past few years. The 26-year-old’s star began to rise with roles in projects like “The Witch,” “Split,” “Glass,” “Peaky Blinders,” and “The Queen’s Gambit.” She’s also starred in movies like “Thoroughbreds,” “Emma,” “The New Mutants,” “The Northman,” “The Menu,” and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” and she’s also been cast as Furiosa in the highly anticipated “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel.

Over the years, Taylor-Joy has mostly kept her dating life low-key, though details have emerged here and there. In 2018, prior to her big rise to stardom, Taylor-Joy told The Guardian that she purposely chooses not to share too much about her personal life. “There’s a beauty in being anonymous,” she said. “There’s a reason why we’re actors, we’re playing other people so I think the idea of someone being interested in me, I’m quite a private person, is a bit daunting but I try not to think about it.”

To date, the actor has only dated a few men publicly, though most of those relationships were still kept under wraps. Currently, Taylor-Joy is in a relationship with musician and actor Malcolm McRae, whom she’s been linked to since May 2021. Aside from their handful of public appearances, Taylor-Joy has rarely spoken about McRae in interviews, though she did briefly mention him (not by name) in her cover story for British Vogue, published on March 23, 2022.

“I said to my partner the other day that he was my hobby,” she told the outlet. “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 really well.”
