When she was posing on the red carpet on Monday (February 24), a photographer asked if her significant other could join her.

“Can we get your boyfriend?” the unseen photographer called out, unaware that Millie and Jake had married in May 2024.

“He’s not my boyfriend,” Millie snapped, prompting the photographer to apologize.

Still, some social media users had harsh words for the British actress, with one writing that her attitude showed “zero professionalism.”

“Why is she so rude and arrogant? Is this a polite way to talk!?” another wrote.

Another group supported the star, saying she was right to call out the paparazzo, who later asked the couple to kiss for the camera.

“I know paparazzi have to get their pictures because it’s their job, and they get paid for that. But they’re so f*cking annoying!” wrote a separate user.

“Paparazzi would drive me nuts,” somebody else agreed.

Someone else commented: “How was it rude…? She just corrected them.”

“It was a very low-key, romantic affair with their closest family with them as they said their vows,”The Sunreported.

The couple first connected through Instagram and “were friends for a bit” before they started dating, the Enola Holmes star toldWired.

Millie announced her engagement in April 2023 with a black-and-white photo of them embracing. “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all,” she captioned the post, using lyrics from Taylor Swift’s romantic balladLover.

The young startold Jimmy Fallonthat Jake proposed to her underwater while they were diving, an activity they bonded over after they met.

“Jake threw himself, like so deep, like the diver was like, ‘You can’t do that, like your ears … literally your brain will explode,” she recalled.

Jake ultimately managed to get the special ring back.

“It’s a reflection of who he is and I feel like we’re always going to have each other’s back and if anyone drops the ball, we got it.”
