The Queen’s Gambit actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster proposed to his partner of two years, Westworld actress Talulah Riley. Best known for his role in the acclaimed 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually, when he was 13 years old, the Game of Thrones and The Maze Runner actor announced their engagement on Instagram, posting a photo of himself and his fiancé Talulah Riley in a gondola. Riley, who is known for her roles in acclaimed works like Pride & Prejudice, Inception, and Westworld, made her own big social media announcement, revealing their exciting news on Twitter and sharing a photo of herself and her husband-to-be cozily nestled together as they posed for a selfie.
Riley and Brodie-Sangster met while working on the FX miniseries Pistol, which documents the Sex Pistols' rise to notoriety. In the series, the duo portrayed the real-life couple Malcolm McLaren (Brodie-Sangster), the Sex Pistols manager, and the late fashion designer Vivienne Westwood (Riley). Brodie-Sangster and Riley’s relationship evolved discreetly, but they started appearing together in public in 2021 and 2022. Their first official appearance as a couple came when they made their red-carpet debut as an item at the prestigious 2022 British Academy Film Awards Gala Dinner. Although they have chosen to maintain a low profile about their love life, Riley shared details about how their romance blossomed during a candid interview in May 2022. The actress revealed that after months of friendship and collaboration while working together on the series, their feelings for each other emerged. Before becoming romantically entwined with Brodie-Sangster, Riley was married to Tesla CEO Elon Musk not once but twice—from 2010 to 2012 and the second time from 2013 to 2016.
Recently, the betrothed couple was seen enjoying an evening out in London, where the actress was spotted wearing a sparkling diamond engagement ring on her wedding finger. They were photographed leaving the renowned London celebrity spot, Chiltern Firehouse, hand in hand and accompanied by their adorable cocker spaniel.
Since Talulah Riley and Thomas Brodie-Sangster are a low-profile couple, it comes as no surprise that photos of Riley's engagement ring are few and far between. According to Ritani's head gemologist, however, her ring likely features a brilliant round-cut diamond that is approximately 2 to 3 carats in size. Round-cut diamonds are prized for their captivating brilliance, making them a popular choice among diamond shapes. With 58 facets, the round-cut diamond shape showcases the highest level of sparkle.
