Relationship Timeline and Previous Hints
The couple's romance first became public knowledge last summer, following Esmé's announcement earlier in the year that she identifies as bisexual. They previously demonstrated their commitment by getting each other's names tattooed, symbolising their deep connection. In July, Esmé had already hinted at taking their relationship to the next level with another Instagram post featuring Daisy during a seaside stroll, captioned tellingly with an engagement ring emoji, which sparked initial speculation about wedding plans.
Family Background and Career Journey
Esmé Creed-Miles comes from a distinguished acting family as the daughter of two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton, 48, and her former partner, fellow actor Charlie Creed-Miles, 53. She made her screen debut at just seven years old in the 2007 film Mister Lonely, playing American child star Shirley Temple opposite her mother's portrayal of an aging Marilyn Monroe.
Her career breakthrough came with the title role in Amazon Prime's series Hanna from 2019 to 2021, followed by a lead role in Paramount+'s period thriller The Doll Factory. Despite her family connections, Samantha Morton has publicly defended her daughter against suggestions of being a 'nepo baby', insisting in a November interview with Daily Mail that Esmé has achieved success independently: 'She's so frightened of being a nepo baby. I'm like, 'No, no, no, no! You did it alone. Also, that's what you've been around – writing, drawing, painting, taking photographs... It's in your blood, it's in your bones''.
Upcoming Projects and Future Plans
Following recent roles in The Chronology of Water and The Sandman, Esmé is set to appear in the latest adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense And Sensibility, scheduled to air this year. She will portray Marianne Dashwood alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones as her sister Elinor Dashwood, with Caitríona Balfe, George MacKay, Fiona Shaw, Frank Dillane, Herbert Nordrum, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach completing the cast. The story follows the Dashwood sisters as they navigate love and societal pressures in late 18th-century England.
As the couple prepares for their wedding, fans and friends alike continue to celebrate this milestone in their relationship, marking a new chapter for both Esmé Creed-Miles and Daisy Maybe.
