Talulah and Thomas played on-screen lovers in the Sex Pistols miniseries on Disney+, with Talulah playing fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and Thomas playing Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren. But they didn't get into a relationship until after filming had finished.

They tied the not at St George's Church in Hertfordshire, with Talulah wearing a stunning white gown, while Thomas looked suave in a blue tux. Speaking of their first date in a BBC documentary, Talulah said: "My first impressions were that he was very sweet, he seemed quite shy. He said 'may I put my hand on your knee' and I said, 'OK go on then', I thought it was quite sweet that he asked."

She continued: "He said I don’t usually do this but I'd love to see you tomorrow can we meet for breakfast. So we had breakfast. And at the end of breakfast he said would you come and have lunch with me so we went for lunch. And then he said would you come for dinner."
