Rumors of the two being in a romantic relationship had been circulating for the previous year. Riley and Brodie-Sangster collaborated for the first time on the set of the March 2021 FX miniseries "Pistol" in England.

The miniseries follows the meteoric rise of the iconic rock band Sex Pistols. Brodie-Sangster and Riley play real-life couple 'Pistols' band manager Malcolm McLaren and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, who both infamously had a stormy relationship.

Despite the rocky dynamics between them on screen, Riley and Brodie-Sangster seemed to have grown closer together. The relationship rumors persisted six months later after the two were seen strolling around London hand-in-hand.

They continued their public display of affection by going out together once more, this time for lunch at a restaurant in Marylebone, London, on February 9, 2022. The pair cuddled and held hands as they went down the street together.

Despite the increasing unconfirmed reports of their presumed romance, the couple remained silent on the actual state of their relationship. On May 18, 2022, the rumored pair attended a screening of the 'Pistols' series in New York City.

In The Times interview, just four days after the screening, Riley revealed her romance with her much younger co-star. She shared how they built their strong bond while filming the FX series and how she eventually fell for him. She said:

"We hadn't really acknowledged each other as a romantic possibility or potential until the moment that we both did…and it was the same moment a number of months after having worked together and been good friends."

Riley and Brodie-Sangster shared their cute photos on Instagram on June 10, 2022, following interviews in separate publications. Several pictures included behind-the-scenes shots from the FX show, in which they dressed in 1970s fashion.

Although they became official on Instagram, the post—which included a photo of the couple cuddling up together—appeared to be a strategy to promote their show together.
