Elon Musk’s two-time ex-wife Talulah Riley has confirmed her engagement to Love Actually actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

Riley, who married the 52-year-old tech mogul twice before finally breaking their relationship off in 2016, revealed the news on Musk-owned Twitter on Thursday.

“Very happy to share that after two years of dating, Thomas Brodie Sangster and I are engaged!” the English actress shared with a photo of the two embracing.

Musk sent his best wishes to his ex-wife, replying to her announcement: “Congratulations!” with a red heart emoji.

Riley, 37, and former child star Brodie-Sangster, 33 - who soared to fame at 13 playing schoolboy Sam in Love Actually and later starred in Game of Thrones and The Queen’s Gambit - first went public with their romance in 2022.

The couple met while working on the FX limited series Pistol in 2021.

In the series, they played a real-life couple: Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and designer Vivienne Westwood, respectively.

Rumours of their relationship began circulating shortly after they filmed together.

But their official red carpet debut as a couple came at the British Academy Film Awards in March 2022.

Riley and Brodie-Sangster then became Instagram official in June 2022.

Since then, the duo has been spotted at various public events, including Wimbledon 2022.

RILEY AND MUSK’S TUMULTUOUS RELATIONSHIP

Riley and Musk began dating in 2008 after reportedly meeting at a bar.

They became engaged within days and married in 2010.

But the pair then divorced in 2012 before remarrying in 2013.

They called it quits for good when they split in 2016.

“We took some time apart for several months to see if absence makes the heart grow fonder, and unfortunately, it did not,” Musk said at the time.

“I still love her, but I’m not in love with her. And I can’t really give her what she wants.”

While the status of their post-divorce relationship is unclear, Riley weighed in on Musk’s $44 billion legal battle to take over Twitter last year.

“Can you buy Twitter and then delete it, please!? xx,” Riley asked Musk via text, according to a report by Bloomberg.

The texts were revealed as part of the legal battle between Musk and Twitter over the deal, with the actress listed as TJ before the new details on the messages.
