"I said to my partner the other day that he was my hobby. I see reading as something that I have to do. He loved it because he’s the same," Taylor-Joy said.

She further told the publication, "I’ve finally found someone who will happily sit in silence with me reading. We’re basically 80 years old and seven at the same time and it works really well."

Discussing the distance, she remarked,  "Yes, it is [hard], but it’s also kind of great because when you’re together you’re really valuing the time that you have."

"Everyday mundane activities are so full of joy. I love going to the petrol station with him and filling up," she continued.  

Malcolm McRae also posted on Instagram and wrote, "I love you now and somehow I always have and somehow it will never end. Happy two year anniversary (yesterday), beautiful."
