Actress, author, businesswoman and two-time wife to the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. This is Talulah Riley, the woman who has earned a name for herself as a versatile actress with writing skills to boot. Although she split – for the second time – from Musk in 2016, she made her feelings clear after appearing on BBC documentary The Elon Musk Show in October 2022.

In the documentary, the actress shot down claims that Musk was “cold and emotionless”, insisting that “nothing could be further from the truth”.

This June, Riley tied the knot with actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who has appeared in Love Actually and The Queen’s Gambit.

According to HITC, the couple met at a bar in London in 2008 and started dating soon after. Riley and Musk are most famous for getting married and divorced twice. Insider reported she married Musk in 2010, only to get divorced two years later. They got back together soon after and got married again in 2013. But in 2016, that marriage ended and they officially divorced.

Speaking about being Musk’s wife, Riley said “It felt silly to be together unmarried after having been married,” according to Hola! She added that even after they split, they kept having a “very deep love and connection”.

At the time, she said even though she chose to prioritise family over her career, it wasn’t a “traditional housewife role”. She said his children were “very involved” in his projects, calling it a “family-wide effort”.
