A Tumultuous Romantic Past

Before her relationship with Brodie-Sangster, Riley was involved with Musk, an entrepreneur and CEO of companies like Tesla and SpaceX. Their story began when they first met in a London bar in 2008. The two embarked on a rollercoaster ride that included two marriages and two divorces. Musk’s first marriage was to Justine, the mother of his five children, with whom he was married from 2000 to 2008.

A Complicated Relationship

After his first marriage ended, Musk and Riley got married in 2010, only to divorce in 2012. However, they couldn’t resist their connection and reconciled in 2013, deciding to remarry. Their second marriage ended in 2016. Reflecting on the reasons for their remarriage, Riley once explained that it felt strange to be together yet unmarried after having been married. The habit of referring to each other as husband and wife made them feel like they needed to make it official once more.

A Dedicated Partner

During their time together, Riley took a break from her acting career to care for Musk’s children. She became an integral part of their lives, proving her dedication and love for the family she had embraced.

A Successful Acting Career

On the other hand, Brodie-Sangster has enjoyed a successful acting career, starring in popular films and TV shows such as “Game of Thrones,” “The Maze Runner” series, and “Love Actually.” The talented actor has managed to capture the hearts of the audience through his varied and nuanced performances.

A Deep Bond and Commitment

Riley and Brodie-Sangster’s engagement signifies a new chapter for both of them as they move forward together. Throughout their relationship, the pair has maintained a relatively low profile, ensuring that their private lives remain just that – private. This discretion has allowed them to foster a strong connection without the added pressure of constant public scrutiny. Their engagement is a testament to their deep bond and commitment to one another.

As Riley and Brodie-Sangster prepare for their future together, the world looks on with eager anticipation, hoping that their love story will serve as an inspiring example of resilience and devotion.

Airbnb brings in lots of money and jobs, and even if all Airbnbs disappeared, it wouldn’t fix the big housing shortage. The city needs to build more homes and make it easier to do so, not just point fingers at tourists.
