Anya Taylor-Joy revealed how she met her now-husband Malcolm McRae.

Ahead of their third wedding anniversary, the actress, 28, opened up about how their love story began many years ago.

The Menu star — who radiated Hollywood glamour alongside Miles Teller at the premiere of their new horror flick The Gorge — secretly tied the knot with McRae in New Orleans back in April 2022.

‘I love him so much,’ she told Drew Barrymore when she asked about her partner. ‘Oh yeah, he’s, I’m very, I’m so lucky. I’m so lucky.’

‘We met in a music studio and he’s like, I do. I love him. We’re born on the same day. So that was the first thing he ever said to me,’ she recalled.

‘He was like, “When’s your birthday?” And I was like, “April 16th.” He’s like, “I knew it.” I was like, “Oh no, this is, yeah.” He’s the absolute greatest.’

Then, the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star spoke about how McRae is her other ‘whole.’ 

‘My dad once told me when I was a kid that you’re not looking for another half to make you whole, that you are whole,’ she said.

‘And if you’re lucky enough, you meet another whole,’ she continued. ‘And then you become, like, a greater sum of your parts.’ 

The Golden Globe winner added: ‘I just feel like I am encouraged to grow in the most unexpected and beautiful ways because he provides a soil that’s, like, really nutritious and safe.

‘Yeah, I just, he’s the best,’ she gushed to Barrymore.
