Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Talulah Riley are engaged.
The former child actor, 33, was a staple of British film in the noughties, starring in everything from Love Island to Nanny McPhee, and in more recent years, Game of Thrones and The Queen’s Gambit.
Actress Talulah, 37, has appeared in the likes of Pride and Prejudice, St Trinians, Inception – and both starred in two episodes each of Doctor Who with David Tennant’s 10th Doctor.
Talulah is also known for having been married to billionaire and Twitter (or X) owner Elon Musk, from 2010 to 2012, and again from 2013 to 2016.
Now the star has revealed she’s getting hitched again, as she and Thomas begin planning their big day.
She wrote on Twitter: ‘Very happy to share that after two years of dating, Thomas Brodie Sangster and I are engaged!’

Elon himself reacted to the news, which he learned on his own website, replying ‘Congratulations!’ along with a red heart.
Thomas also took to Instagram where he shared a sweet snap of him and Talulah taking a gondola down a canal, both looking relaxed and sunkissed.
He wrote: ‘Happy to announce that Talulah and I are engaged.’
In a truly brilliant throwback to Love Actually, he added: ‘Love is all around.’

There was speculation Talulah and Thomas were taking the next step when the actress was spotted with a diamond ring on her finger during a night out in London on Wednesday.
The pair met while working together on Disney Plus mini-series Pistol, based on the Sex Pistols, where they played tumultuous couple McLaren and Vivienne Westwood – but their relationship starting after filming had wrapped.
He told The Guardian: I wasn’t dating her at the time. Thankfully we’re not too much like Viv and Mac.’
And Talulag told The Times: ‘We hadn’t really acknowledged each other as a romantic possibility or potential until the moment that we both did. And it was the same moment a number of months after having worked together and been good friends.’
The pair were first photographed together in February last year on a lunch date in London, before seemingly confirming their relationship by attending a pre-Baftas party together in March.
