Anya-Taylor has finally publicly confirmed her marriage to Malcolm McRae and revealed the pair tied the knot in secret two years ago.
The Menu star, 27, took to Instagram to wish actor McRae, 29 a happy anniversary as she shared snaps from the nuptials in New Orleans – six months after the pair held an apparent Italian wedding in Venice.
She wrote: ‘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.’
‘N.B yes, those are anatomically correct heart cakes. Yes, I am the vampire Lestat.’

Anya has rarely spoken about her relationship with Malcolm since they began dating, having been first spotted together in New York.
They have managed to maintain a healthy relationship despite living on opposite sides of the Atlantic, with Anya largely based in London, while Malcolm, who also acts as well as being in a band, lives in the US.
Speaking about their relationship to British Vogue in March 2022, Anya said: ‘I said to my partner the other day that he was my hobby. 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.’
Speaking about the distance, she added: ‘Yes, it is [hard], but it’s also kind of great because when you’re together you’re really valuing the time that you have.
‘Everyday mundane activities are so full of joy. I love going to the petrol station with him and filling up.’

Anya was born in Miami, Florida and moved to Buenos Aires as a toddler before relocating to London at the age of six ‘for political reasons’ with her parents, banker father Dennis – a Scot born in South America – and Spanish-English mother Jennifer who hails from Zambia.
Her role as orphaned chess prodigy Beth Harmon in the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit elevated her into one of the most in demand actresses in Hollywood, having bagged a Golden Globe for Best Actress and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie.
She received another Golden Globe nomination for her role in black comedy movie The Menu, starring alongside Nicholas Hoult and Ralph Fiennes, and is playing the lead in blockbuster action movie Furiosa, the prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road.
