Talulah Riley, who was twice married SpaceX founder and Twitter owner Elon Musk, has announced her engagement to British actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

Westworld actress Riley, who married Musk in 2010 and again in 2013, shared a close-up picture of her smiling with Brodie-Sangster to announce the engagement on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

The 37-year-old wrote: "Very happy to share that after two years of dating, Thomas Brodie Sangster and I are engaged!"

Riley wed Musk in a ceremony in 2010 but divorced two years later. The couple remarried in 2013 but split again in 2016.

He was among the people congratulating the actress on the news, writing under her post: "Congratulations!" followed by a red heart emoji.

Love Actually actor Brodie-Sangster, 33, gave a nod to the 2003 romantic comedy in a social media post - using a quote from a song by The Troggs which featured at the beginning of the film.

Sharing a picture of them punting on a river, he wrote: "Happy to announce that Talulah and I are engaged.

"Love is all around."

The couple met when Brodie-Sangster co-starred with Riley in Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols Disney+ drama.

Brodie-Sangster, who also starred in 2011 Irish film Death of a Superhero, played the band's manager Malcolm McLaren in the series, which explores the rise of the punk band and the rock and roll revolution in Britain, while Riley portrayed punk fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood.

The couple publicly debuted their romance at the Bafta awards ceremony last March.

Brodie-Sangster recently reunited with Love Actually stars Hugh Grant, Dame Emma Thompson, Bill Nighy and Laura Linney for a special 20th anniversary special of the film.

In 2017, he re-created a scene from the original movie for Red Nose Day with Liam Neeson, who plays his on-screen stepfather, with the two characters having a conversation about the "total agony of being in love".
