Rumours have swirled that the pair secretly tied the knot after Anya was pictured on several occasions in Sydney wearing what appears to be a wedding ring, but has yet to comment on the speculation.

According to Page Six, the pair wed in July in a U.S. courthouse ceremony.

It was claimed at the time they had secretly married her boyfriend Malcolm McRae after one year of dating.  

The couple confirmed their relationship at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in late March last year.

Speculation: The Queen’s Gambit star first sparked engagement rumours in June last year when she was seen sporting a dazzling diamond on her ring finger

The Queen’s Gambit star first sparked engagement rumours in June last year when she was seen sporting a dazzling diamond on her ring finger.

It was claimed in July last year the actress and the musician tied the knot in a modest courthouse ceremony in the United States.

Anya and Malcom were said to be planning a larger ceremony with friends and family once the actress wrapped filming Mad Max: Fury Road prequel, Furiosa, in Australia and was able to return home to Los Angeles for a longer period.

The source claimed the actress jetted back to Australia shortly after the wedding to resume filming Furiosa, a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road.

She is starring as a younger version of Charlize Theron’s character in the earlier film – set for release in May next year – which saw Tom Hardy take over the Mad Max title character from Mel Gibson.

The couple were rumoured to be engaged after Anya was spotted in June wearing what appeared to be a diamond ring on her left ring finger.

She has been seen several times since then with the same ring after the reported wedding.

Anya has mostly stayed quiet about her relationship, but she offered a rare comment about him to British Vogue in March when she described some of their favourite activities at home.

‘I said to my partner the other day that he was my hobby,’ she said. ‘I see reading as something that I have to do.

‘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 also noted that the occasionally long-distance nature of their relationship could be trying on her, though they seem to have made it work.
