The couple’s romance started at “The Queen’s Gambit” premiere in March 2021, where McRae sang a song he wrote for Taylor-Joy, according to People. A year later, they went public with their relationship at a pre-Oscars party. Conflicting accounts were suggesting that McRae and Taylor-Joy had an intimate courthouse wedding in July 2022, Page Six reported. Another report also claimed that the pair got married Oct. 2023 in Venice, Italy, People reported.

The jokes on everyone, and it seems like people got fooled as they got married on April Fools’ in 2022.
