Talulah Riley says she still loves Elon Musk despite getting married to Love Actually's Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Talulah Riley has admitted that she still loves Elon Musk, to whom she was married to twice.
The British actor, 38, is now married to Love Actually's Thomas Brodie-Sangster, 34.
Announcing the engagement on her ex's platform X in 2023, she wrote: “Very happy to share that after two years of dating, Thomas Brodie Sangster and I are engaged!”
Brodie-Sangster also said: "Happy to announce that Talulah and I are engaged. Love is all around X."

The pair got married in June 2024, which means this will be Riley's third marriage.
The St Trinian's star previously tied the knot with the Tesla founder, 53, in 2010 and again in 2013.
They began dating in 2008 after Musk took her to his room to 'look at rocket videos'.
"Elon said, ‘Would you like to come to my hotel room to look at rocket videos?’," she revealed in a BBC documentary about Musk.
"And we did go to his hotel room and he did just show me rocket videos."
On why she got married twice, Riley previously explained to The Independent in 2022: "I suppose the reason to get remarried was just because it felt silly to be together unmarried after having been married.
"You know, it’s like a habit. We were saying ‘this is my husband.’ ‘This is my wife.’ ‘Oh, wait, no, we’re not that anymore. We better be that again.
"You know, it felt silly to go back to ‘this is my boyfriend’ when we’ve been married. So, we just got married again."
And in a recent interview with The Times, the actor admits that she still has a soft spot for Musk - who she still keeps in contact with as well as his children.
“I loved/love the guy, so I’m incredibly subjective in my opinion, cannot be unbiased and shouldn’t be expected to be either. I’m sure, well… You know what being in love is, right?” Riley said when asked about 'the real Musk'.
She now lives with Brodie-Sangster in Hertfordshire, and the pair have a smallholding, the outlet also reports.
"There are sheep, ducks, ponies," she said.
After getting a bee hive for their house, she said they did become a bit of an issue.
She added: “The caterer came to me somewhat flustered and said, ‘There’s a huge swarm of bees right where we want to have the champagne reception.
"I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Please come quickly.’
“So I went to the back garden and there was a huge black cloud. Biblical plague proportions.”
Thankfully, the night before the wedding, a beekeeping teacher came over and did their thing to get the bees back in their hive.
