Tom Bateman and Daisy Ridley: Relationship Timeline

Tom Bateman and Daisy Ridley are notoriously private when it comes to their relationship. The stars, who began dating shortly after meeting on the set of their 2017 film “Murder on the Orient Express,” only recently confirmed they’re married after years of engagement rumors. “Yes! I got married,” Ridley told Rolling Stone in January. The “Star Wars” actor didn’t reveal anything else about their nuptials, which isn’t surprising considering the pair has remained tight-lipped about their romance over the years.

“When I signed on to ‘Star Wars,’ there was nothing in my contract that said, ‘Your life will be talked about,'” Ridley told Tatler in December 2020. Since so many details about her personal life are already publicly known, Ridley is determined to keep her relationship with the “Based on a True Story” actor as private as possible. “People knew my mum’s name, my dad’s name, what my sisters do for a living. And I thought it would be nice to have something that’s for me, that isn’t for everybody else,” she said. “I just thought I would keep that separate.”
