Anya Taylor-Joy's Musician Boyfriend Says He's "Besotted" with Her
Anya Taylor-Joy has literally been catapulted to A+++ list levels of fame thanks to her starring role in The Queen’s Gambit, and yet she’s done a pretty impressive job protecting her personal life. To the point where we all ~know~ she’s dating someone (psst: that someone is Malcolm McRae), but she hasn’t fully confirmed their relationship to the public—and likely won’t be doing so anytime soon. At least judging from what Anya told The Guardian about being a super private person back in 2018, when she said, “There’s a beauty in being anonymous, there’s a reason why we’re actors, we’re playing other people so I think the idea of someone being interested in me, I’m quite a private person, is a bit daunting but I try not to think about it.”
This is probably why Anya hasn’t walked any red carpets with Malcolm, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been there supporting her through a ton of exciting moments (including when she ARRIVED at the Venice Film Festival). The good news is that we’re basically private investigators at this point in our brains, so here’s everything we know about Malcolm, including details on his relationship with Anya.
Malcolm Is Also an Actor
But his screen appearances have been pretty limited. Malcolm’s most recent credit is in a short called How’dy! which was released in 2020. However, this dude’s IMDb bio (written by a management team) offers a lot of helpful and somewhat amusing tidbits about his career, like the fact that he was discovered at age 12, won “Over All Young Actor” in 2006, is currently “testing for pilots,” and is also “investigating university options for the future.”
Thanks to this bio, we also know that Malcolm is “a triple threat with his own brand of charm, gusto and sarcasm,” and “sings pop, folk, rockabilly, rock and musical theatre.”
Cool, cool, cool, here he is hanging with a turtle:

But His Main Thing Is Music
Malcolm is in a band called More, and often posts about them on social media:

He spoke about the band with Rain back in 2020, and said that his late father influenced his writing, specifically on the song “Elaborate Attraction”:
Malcolm Moved to Los Angeles for a Relationship
Malcolm’s Spotify bio is full of info, including the fact that he moved to Los Angeles from Alabama because he was in love. Ahem: “Malcolm had only recently fallen in love with a young woman and followed his foolish heart, dropping everything to move to Los Angeles. Well, his heart was mistaken. The relationship was a disaster. But the music that followed wasn’t.”
It’s called fate!
Malcolm and Anya Were First Linked Back in May
By which I mean…Page Six published photos of them making out in New York City before she hosted Saturday Night Live. And while Anya hasn’t confirmed that she and Malcolm are dating, she did reference having a “partner” to Elle Magazine in April, saying, “My partner’s just come back from work, and he’s moving around all of his equipment.”
They’re *Kinda* Insta Official
Anya might be keeping her relationship with Malcolm low-key, but he made it all kinds of clear that they’re official by posting her photo on Instagram. The caption? “I’m besotted.”

He Supported Her in Venice
Despite not hitting any red carpets together, someone who sure looks a lot like Malcolm was seen holding Anya’s hand at Venice Film Festival in a cute video captured by her stylist Law Roach:

Here’s to hoping these two make their red carpet appearance soon because the vibes are impeccable.
