Daisy Ridley boyfriend: Is Daisy Ridley engaged? The secret clue revealed

Daisy Ridley is the 27-year-old star who has skyrocketed into the fame stratosphere. She plays Rey in the new Star Wars trilogy, and has become a household name in just a few short years. But is she engaged, and does she have a boyfriend to speak of?

Does Daisy Ridley have a boyfriend?

According to reports, yes, Daisy Ridley does have a boyfriend – Tom Bateman, a 30-year-old actor who was her co-star in Kenneth Branagh’s version of Murder on the Orient Express.

Bateman will reprise his role as Bouc, a friend of detective Hercule Poirot, in the follow up film, Death on the Nile.

It is not clear when the pair met, or whether it was the Poirot film which helped them come together for the first time.

But earlier this year, at the All Points East festival, Ridley was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand, sparking huge rumours she had confirmed her engagement to Bateman.

However, the Star Wars actress will not be convinced to discuss it, as was made clear in her Marie Claire interview.

When asked about whether she was engaged, and if she is in fact with Bateman, she replied: “The thing is, I’ve never talked about my personal life.

“So I won’t talk about it now. I’m so aware of how much information about my life is out there, so if there’s one thing I don’t want to talk about…”

“It’s a really nice ring that I wear. It’s the first time I’ve publicly been asked this one.”

Clearly, she has acknowledged her wearing her gorgeous ring, but Ridley will not confirm whether her relationship with Bateman is as it seems, so fans will just have to speculate.

Who is Tom Bateman?

Tom Bateman is an English actor, who was born in Oxford on March 15, 1989.

Bateman is not used to sharing the spotlight, however, as he has thirteen brothers and sisters, one of whom is his twin brother.

Speaking to WWD about his family, he joked his brother “was better than me” at acting but decided against pursuing it as a career.

Bateman studied drama at LAMDA in London, and was first seen on TV in The Tunnel as Danny Hillier

Following this, he appeared in the series Da Vinci’s Demons as Giuliano de’ Medici, as well as the miniseries of Vanity Fair and Jekyll and Hyde.

He has not appeared too much in film, with small roles in movies such as Snatched, Murder on the Orient Express and Cold Pursuit, before the Poirot follow-up, Death on the Nile, comes out in 2020.

Bateman has also done some stage work, such as in The Winter’s Tale alongside Kenneth Branagh, and most recently he was cast in the Netflix psychological miniseries Behind Her Eyes.

It is based on a novel of the same name by Sarah Pinborough, which follows a single mother who begins an affair with her new boss, played by Bateman, until she becomes close friends with his wife Adele.

The series is expected to air in 2020, and also stars Simon Brown as Louise, Eve Hewson as Adele, and Robert Aramayo.

But at the moment, all eyes are on Daisy as she speaks out about Star Wars and walks the red carpet like the star she is.
