Everything about Elon Musk and Talulah Riley’s relationship was fast, but their engagement was especially quick. According to the Daily Mail, the businessman proposed to the actor ten days after they met. The “Westworld” actor described how it happened on BBC and revealed she flew out to L.A. just days after meeting Musk. The two had a wonderful time together, and the Tesla CEO didn’t want it to end. Riley shared, “And then he said, ‘I don’t want you to go home and I want to marry you.” The engagement was impromptu, as Musk didn’t even have an engagement ring.
While many of us would recognize this red flag, Riley found it romantic as her parents had a similar story. She shared with BBC, “My father told my mother at the end of their first date that he was going to marry her. And so I think I was primed to think that after 10 days, you know. I thought yep, that’s how it happens.”

Musk was serious about her decision and eventually bought Riley not one but three engagements. But the rings might as well have represented the times the couple got divorced or almost divorced because their relationship seemed too fast as it came to an end years later.
