'It was quite a surreal set-up!' Hayley Atwell Reveals Her Fiancé Ned Wolfgang Kelly Was Trouserless When He Proposed to Her
Key Highlights :
Hayley Atwell has revealed that her fiancé Ned Wolfgang Kelly was trouserless when he proposed to her during a trip to Venice. The Mission: Impossible actress, 41, became engaged in April 2023 after first being linked to songwriter and composer Ned in July 2022.
According to the Daily Mail's Eden Confidential, Hayley said: 'My fiance was in his pants in the kitchen, and there was an accordion playing outside our window — which was timed perfectly but not planned. We had rented this Airbnb that had lots of shelves with porcelain ducks on them, so it was quite a surreal set-up. I said to him, "Venice was my first most precious destination", and I've always had a weird connection with it. So, he took me there, and it happened there.'
Ned confirmed the engagement himself on his Instagram, writing: 'Lucky me. Arrived in Venice at 10am, around midday the love of my life and I got engaged in the kitchen of this strange apartment surrounded by ducks, with a bloke outside the window murdering "My Way" on the accordion. A perfect start to the rest of our lives together. I'd never had any interest in getting married... until I met this extraordinary woman. Happy as a clam.'
Hayley and Ned keep their relationship lowkey and have rarely been pictured together. The London-based artist's Instagram bio reads that he 'doesn't eat animals' and that he has been 'alcohol & drug free for over a decade'.
Speaking to The Sun when the couple first got together, an insider claimed: 'Hayley's happiness is written on her face right now. They get on like a house on fire and make a very handsome couple.' Ned's website says he has produced commercial music for big brands such as Bud Light, Headspace and Samsung. He has also scored films, worked on the design side of projects, and penned articles.
Last year, Hayley was said to have split from her Mission Impossible co-star Tom for the second time. A source said: 'Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out for them. They have now decided they are better as friends.' The insider also revealed that the fanfare around the couple after going public was too much to handle. 'They get on really well, and have fantastic chemistry, which is why they decided to quietly give the relationship another try earlier this year. What was working behind closed doors didn’t work out so well when it was made public, and the fanfare around them as a couple exploded again,' the source stated.
The source also insisted that the couple's romance was 'genuine', stating 'In spite of some rumours to the contrary, it was never just for the cameras.' The pair began dating in 2020 after meeting on set of Mission: Impossible 7, and were first reported to be an item in December. Tom, who plays Ethan Hunt in the famous franchise, and Hayley, who portrays a character mononymously known as Grace, spent much of the last year shooting the movie across the UK, as well as in Rome, Venice, and Norway.
Though the two had never expressly confirmed their romance, they were said to have become 'fairly inseparable' after they 'hit it off from day one' on the film. However, by September, the relationship was said to have 'run its course' for the pair. An insider told The Sun about the breakup: 'It has been a very intense period of filming together. They really got on well – but as the latest film winds down they've decided to go back to being friends.'
