Child star Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Elon Musk's two time ex-wife have announced their engagement.
Love Actually cutie Thomas and actress Talulah Riley are getting hitched after two years together. Thomas, little Sam in the 2003 Christmas classic, met the 37-year-old while working on the FX limited series Pistol. They fell head-over-heels for each other, announcing they were dating last year. He became so smitten he popped the question last night.
Thomas, 33, has now got something the world's richest man hasn't as the pair excitedly begin planning their big day. The couple, who live in a grade two listed Manor House in the countryside, have first appeared in public together at Wimbledon last year.
She wrote on twitter: "Very happy to share that after two years of dating, Thomas Brodie Sangster and I are engaged!"

Talulah and the business magnate became engaged within days of getting together and married in 2010. It all appeared to be over in 2012 and they divorced. But they gave it another go months after, before remarrying in 2013.
It was all over and for good when they split-up again in 2016.
Musk said at the time: “We took some time apart for several months to see if absence makes the heart grow fonder, and unfortunately, it did not. I still love her, but I’m not in love with her. And I can’t really give her what she wants.”

Thomas reflected on finding fame at such a young age thanks to his role in Love Actually on This Morning two years ago.
"It's a strange life to lead, especially as a young person. But it was a life I always loved," he told Holly and then presenter Phil.
"It was a life of adventure. I guess I kept somewhat grounded and relied on my friends and school. I'm still riding the wave but we'll see how it goes," he added.
Thomas has enjoyed a number of prominent roles since playing Liam Neeson's son in the smash hit film. He portrayed Jojen Reed in Game Of Thrones, as well as Newt in the Maze Runner films.
Most recently he played US chess champ Benny Watts in Netflix drama hit The Queen's Gambit.
