Who Is Daisy Dating? Verified Relationship Timelines and Partner Details
By David Miller
Daisy Ridley’s rise was explosive, thrust from relative obscurity into the center of the global Star Wars sequel trilogy as Rey. Amid intense media pressure, Ridley adopted a strict boundary: her work belongs to audiences, while her domestic reality remains entirely private. That boundary sheltered her partnership with English actor Tom Bateman, best known for his stage roles and performances in Behind Her Eyes and Da Vinci's Demons.
The pair first connected in late 2016 during production of Kenneth Branagh’s ensemble mystery Murder on the Orient Express. Their working chemistry quickly evolved into a quiet domestic partnership in Primrose Hill, London. For years, the duo refused to address engagement speculation, even as Ridley was spotted wearing a distinctive ring at public events in 2019.
Bateman and Ridley confirmed their marital status years after the fact, acknowledging they married in an ultra-private ceremony attended only by close family and friends. Unlike many Hollywood contemporaries, the couple rarely poses together for glossy covers, though they occasionally collaborate professionally, including on the 2024 indie drama Magpie, which Bateman scripted and Ridley produced and starred in. Their collaborative bond showcases an artistic trust built over nearly a decade out of the tabloid glare.
