It is quite difficult for Hollywood celebrities to do anything without being noticed by the public. There are always people noticing them and photographers photographing everything they do. It can be hard to go to dinner without it becoming news, just ask Britney Spears. This makes it quite impressive that Star Wars star Daisy Ridley got married successfully without anyone noticing.
Someone, of course, noticed. Back in September, Daisy Ridley and her boyfriend Tom Bateman were spotted walking around with what looked like identical rings, but no one talked about what that meant. Only in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, where she was asked about the ring, she publicly confirmed the situation by simply saying…
Yes! I got married.
The rings were noticed, and therefore it was not so difficult to conclude that Ridley and Bateman got engaged and then got married. However, the fact that it couldn’t be confirmed was still quite an impressive piece of work. When Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez tried to get married quickly in Vegas, there were still people who knew it had happened. When they had a mass ceremony, it was impossible to be silent. Whatever route Ridley and Bateman chose, they could walk it without too much attention.
Daisy Ridley and Tom Bateman met during the filming of Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express and have been in a relationship ever since. The ring was first seen on Ridley’s finger back in the fall of 2019, and it was far from the first time the actress was asked about it. But earlier she evaded the question, saying that she would like to keep her personal life a secret. However, now it seems that enough time has passed to talk about it.
It’s perfectly understandable why Ridley didn’t want to talk about such things. Autumn 2019 was the eve of the release of “Star Wars: Skywalker. Sunrise”, and it was one of the periods when Daisy Ridley was one of the biggest stars in the world. The media would talk to her and ask her questions non-stop, so the desire to have one part of her life that she didn’t share is quite understandable.
Although Daisy Ridley is not as big a star as she was in the years since her casting in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the fact that she played Rey in these films will stay with her for the rest of her career. There will always be those who want to know her thoughts about the trilogy, which has remained controversial for fans. But years after “Skywalker. Sunrise” Ridley was able to continue her career. And judging by the fact that she likes to keep her personal life a secret, she probably likes the fact that she’s not in the spotlight as much.
