She wrote, “This decision is something we are so grateful for so that we can protect the magic that we can’t help but emit whenever we put our brains together,” implying that their creative endeavors would benefit from their conscious uncoupling. Maisie added, “Please no further questions, please,” before anyone could inquire. My dog and our children must be safeguarded.

In 2018, he talked to Dazed about his goals and career. He stated, “I was always doing a similar thing and tried to find interesting subjects because I take pictures myself.” I’ve worked with designers casting for shows, magazine editorials, and my own editorials, so I’ve taken a more fashion-forward path. I’ve helped a lot of fashion photographers, stylists, and casting directors; all I did was try to learn as much as I could about the business.
According to Elle, Ruben’s brothers Nathaniel, Luke, and Theo are successful chefs. In 2018, Luke was named the UK’s National Chef of the Year.
