Taylor-Joy proved their relationship was going strong when the star was later photographed in September 2021 kissing McRae on a balcony in Venice, per the Daily Mail.

Taylor-Joy gushed over her "partner" in a March interview with British Vogue, and even revealed a bit about the couple's shared interests.
