Anya Taylor-Joy Previously Opened Up About Why She Eloped With Malcolm McRae
Anya Taylor-Joy and Malcolm McRae eloped in 2022 for an intimate courthouse wedding.
The couple started dating in 2021 and eloped on April Fools’ Day in 2022, having an intimate courthouse wedding. The actress flew to Australia to film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga shortly after they exchanged vows.
The Hollywood power couple held a second, grand wedding in Venice, Italy, in October 2023 at the Palazzo Pisani Moretta.
The star-studded guest list included Cara Delevingne, Julia Garner, and Nicholas Hoult, among others.
The Emma star explained their decision to elope in a 2024 interview with Elle, noting, “We’re just real romantics.”
Anya Taylor-Joy said her second wedding with Malcom McRae was 'beyond beautiful.'
She also stated that she was “completely and utterly in love.”
“We were born on the same day. And we wanted to make sure that our first experience was something that was completely for us. So we eloped in New Orleans with our two best friends and had the time of our lives,” she added.
Although she admitted that the experience was “magical,” she acknowledged that the second wedding was just as meaningful for them.
“I’m lucky to say that the second experience — with all of our families —was so beyond beautiful, and I just feel very, very lucky,” she said.
