they really are and why i'm enjoying them more now than i did. before it was more me being so focused on my career and now i want to make sure i'm getting more breaks and rest over being always at it. i'm very glad to hear that, lily. you really don't, so i'm generally pretty open — however, with a bit of hesitance as well, haha. love of your life.. that alone speaks volumes. so it's definitely one of those you had to let go and returning means it's meant to be otherwise it never was moments. as long as you're happy and being treated well, i'm always here for you.

[lilyjxmes]

Yes, I just went through a couple of years of virtually no rest save for the odd week, so I am trying to slow down for the second half of this year. Starting to see that I don't have to worry as much about losing a seat at the table. That is never a bad thing. I am the happiest I've ever been. He treats me like a queen and I know you are going to find that one day.

[lcighannnes]

It's definitely not just you, babes. I'll take a bit of responsibility on that as well. But please do tell, I want all the life updates! I know right, between my girls and me, seems like they can never stay stocked up in the house for long. Spain sounds like such a brilliant trip, love that for you. Enjoy it! Oh, absolutely. You had me at spa day. I'll never deny a girls day at the spa. Even more so now. Once you're back from your trip, we will for sure make this happen. Looking forward to it!

[lilyjxmes]

I don't even have the excuse of having kids in the house but I am always going to have ice lollies. It is a given. It was the most magical trip. Made even better by the fact Andrew asked me to marry him while we were there. Perfect, now that I am home, we need to make this happen. Let's have a total pamper day and then the best lunch we can find.

[cate-blancheet]

CATE: Darling!! a ring? you're officially enganged?! oh my...!! this is the best news ever!! CATE: Congratulations!!!! I love you! I'm so happy for you and for him!! tell me more about it. how happened? I need details!

[lilyjxmes]

lily: i am!! can you believe it? i am so, so happy, cate. lily: we went to spain to unwind before work starts again and to celebrate the move. we went for dinner on the beach, he had planned a beach dinner for us, it was already so romantic. then we went for a walk along the beach and he got down on one knee under the moonlight.

[hclleb]

halle: lils!! so good to hear from you 🥰 i’m doing good, just soaking up some downtime with liv before life gets hectic again. how’ve you been? what’s new on your end? halle: oh? 👀 that’s very vague and mysterious. how can i help??

[lilyjxmes]

lily: i love that. sounds like you deserve that break. i have been good. also on a little break. trying to slow down in the latter half of the year. lily: can you think of anything that will go with the new ring i got??

[theswedishbilly]

yes, and this is like the second real break i've had in a bit so i'll soak it up, both at home in new york and truly back home in sweden. i think we all need some time to recharge when we can, as much as i love being busy, i admit — i do enjoy getting to sleep at my own place. it is and i appreciate everything that got me to where i am now, the good and the bad. it all made made me who i am, but also the actor i am. literally, always, i'm always a call away. i definitely believe that, it's why i'll not be rushing for my own special person, they'll come when meant to. for now, i'll enjoy my single life. thank you and always looking forward to whatever i end up working on next. glad i got a fan in you and know it's mutual, i always enjoy watching your work too.

[lilyjxmes]

Good, breaks are a good thing. That is something I have taught myself over the last year. It has been so much better to put myself first. Thank you and same for you, I am always here for you, buddy. That is the best way to be. You never know what life is going to throw at you. I thought I had lost the love of my life but we found our way back to each other. Thank you, that means so much to me.

[callumtfms]

You moved? Congratulations! A new house is always a good feeling. Remember when I first moved places a little bit ago and that new home feeling is just such a good time. Shit, way to make me feel old Lily! Ten years? How is that possible? Well, it's because we were babies ten years ago. We might not have felt like we were because we'd have been twenty six and twenty seven, thinking we had our whole lives figured out and truth was we were practically kids still! You know finished promoting the movie that just released two days ago. Now taking a bit of time to myself. What about you? Tell me all the fabulous things you've been up to, Cinderella.

[lilyjxmes]

I did, yes! It is amazing. I love finding a place for everything and making it feel like home. It really is. Such a new, fresh start. I think it’s going to be a forever home which makes everything even more exciting. I know, I know. Unsure how I was 26 10 years ago when I am only 28 now, right? Oh my gosh, yes. I thought I knew everything but now I know I don’t know anything. Love this for you, congratulations on the movie and even more on taking it easy. I have a few projects slated for release soon, so I’ve been taking it easy myself. And you know, getting engaged in the midst of it all.

[aarcnpierre]

Cinderelly, Cinderelly! You know Mufasa is always going to answer the call. You’ve been missed, darling! And wait a minute… Spain?! Look at you living your best life. Back-to-back projects can be such a blessing until you realize you haven’t had a second to just be, so I hope you’re soaking up every minute of it. It’s so well-deserved. What’s been the highlight so far? Well, I’m officially going to be a dad! Still feels a little bonkers saying it, but I couldn’t be happier. Definitely the biggest and most exciting chapter yet.

[lilyjxmes]

Cinderella is always ready for her pet, Mufasa. As have you. Yes, lots of work and moving house, we wanted to soak up the last of summer and took a last minute trip and it was amazing. Yes, I threw myself into work the last few years and I’ve come to see that it’s okay to take some breathing space, so that’s my plan for the latter half of the year. I would have to say getting engaged is for sure been the highlight. Oh, Aaron! I am thrilled for you. I know you will be the best father. Congratulations my friend!

[jchastainfm]

i’ve decided we’re overdue for a proper catch-up that doesn’t happen while one or both of us is rushing off somewhere. i’m voting for lunch, mostly because i’ve reached the point where i’ll happily organise my entire social life around a good meal. tell me you’re easier to schedule than everyone else seems to be lately. @lilyjxmes

[lilyjxmes]

Please! It’s been far too long since I saw that stunning face in person so we need to fix that. Lunch is perfect with me. A good meal and still acceptable to order wine for the table? My dream. Yes! I was on holiday in Spain but I am home now and free for a little bit so tell me what works for you.

[sophietfms]

Sophie: Liiiiiiiiiiiilyyyyyy Sophie: Oh? Please, do tell. Give me all the gossip, I've been taking it super easy so I need all the details. Sophie: They're great, kicking my ribs like it's their job and making me feel like I can't breathe but the price we pay for the cutest babies. Sophie: Mrs. Lily Garfield? Sophie: Wait... no fucking way. Sophie: Babe! Are you engaged?! Did he finally ask you to marry him?

[lilyjxmes]

lily: oh it will all be worth it when you see their faces! i can’t wait to meet them. how are the girls feeling about it all?

lily: he asked me to marry him!! i am going to be a wife 😭😭😭 i could not believe it.

[lilyjxmes]

lilyjamesofficial: one single thread of gold tying you to me… for forever. 📍: 🇪🇸 tagged: @andrewgarfame

[lilyjxmes]

lily: sooooooooooooophie. lily: i have something to tell you. lily: first, how are the tiny little humans you are growing? lily: second, how do you think mrs lily garfield sounds?? @sophietfms

[ofdualipa]

Dua: oh, and hey, ever need a work out buddy, let me know. always down for that myself.

Dua: you're so welcome! more to come for your treadmill runs.

[lilyjxmes]

lily: this would be amazing. although you can't judge me when i get out of breath after five minutes. i bet that you are like a goddess in the gym.

[joshfame]

You were? That's sad that it never came to light. Little Shop is so good. I'm sure it would've been something that people would have loved. I'd say that if you ever get the chance, go for it. Make a record because you've got an amazing voice. No, I don't think so. It was great to get that feeling of what it would feel like to be a musician and it was fun but don't think it's for me, really. I did, yeah. Did a few covers and then an original song. I played this guy that was the lead singer of a band so it happened a few times.

[lilyjxmes]

It is one of my favourites for sure. If someone does let me do a movie musical, I will be jumping at the chance to have a go. I would love to one day. Writing songs, being in the recording booth, it is all so fun. I am not sure if people would want a full record from me but it would be pretty cool. That sounds awesome. Do you want to put out some more music? Or focus on acting?

[cate-blancheet]

CATE: Congratulations! I know the bittersweet feeling of selling a home that meant a lot for such a long time but then the excitement of moving in a new place? it's hard to describe the amazing feeling. When are you getting back from Spain? I am back to London and I don't know, my home has been so lonely and quiet without the girls. Edith is on a summer camp until next week, and Viv is with my mom and sister in Sydney spending some days with the family. I am in London rehearsing for my new play.

[lilyjxmes]

lily: honestly, it feels right? i thought that would be my forever home but it feels right giving it up and starting this whole new chapter. in a couple of days. oooh, i can picture that is a lot, all the quiet. don't worry, i will be back soon to make a lot of noise. oh, andrew and i will need tickets as soon as it opens. i love seeing you on stage. lily: also... what do you think of my new ring???

[world-of-celebrities]

Lily James

[lilyjxmes]

lily: been trying to force myself back to gym. i miss the abs i had when doing the rock climbling movie. lily: and this is just an extra thank you for your music because it makes running on a tredmill so much easier. @ofdualipa

[lilyjxmes]

This is Cinderella calling out for Mufasa because she misses him. Tell me everything new if your life. I've been taking a break as the past few years have been back to back with projects. Which, I am thankful for, but I felt like I was starting to lose myself. So, being on a beach in Spain has cured that. @aarcnpierre
