The last few months have been busy for the Taylor-Joy-McRae twosome—actor Anya Taylor-Joy and her husband, the musician and actor Malcolm McRae, have been racking up the red carpet appearances, gala dinners, and other starry affairs together. The couple have long been secretive about how they met—and even when and where they got married—and continue to be considered about what they share about each other with press. Not that that means they're too shy for Instagram selfies together with cutesy captions, however.
In March 2022, Taylor-Joy told British Vogue that McRae was 'my hobby.' 'He loved it because he's the same. I've finally found someone who will happily sit in silence with me reading. We're basically 80-years-old and seven at the same time and it works really well,' she said.
So far, 2025 has been glitzy and gooey-eyed for the couple: they looked loved-up on the red carpet, stepping out in New York for a Tiffany & Co. event and SNL 50, and this spring, they celebrated their three-year anniversary.
Here. everything you need to know about Malcolm McRae, Taylor-Joy's red carpet partner-in-crime and rock star husband.

Malcolm McRae and Anya Taylor-Joy share a birthday
McRae was born in Alabama, growing up in the Birmingham area before he relocated to Los Angeles as an adult to pursue a career in music.
He and his wife share a birthday: McRae was born on April 16, 1994, and Taylor-Joy was born exactly two years later. (This makes them both Aries: passionate, fiery, and deep on the astrological compatibility scale.) '16.04.94 ♾ 16.04.96. Happy birthday to us baby. Thank you all for your love,' Taylor-Joy wrote in a celebratory IG post in April 2022.
He's in a band called more*
McRae is one of the two members of more*; he sings and plays both guitar and piano alongside fellow bandmate Kane Ritchotte. The duo first met in LA, and wrote together for a few years before they released their first EP, 1/2, in 2020. Their second EP, 2/2, dropped in September 2021. The band is signed to Warner Records and has opened for Haim and Grouplove.
