In her 2006 autobiography, excerpted from “Growing Pains,” Billie recounted a pivotal moment when, without a driver’s license, she found herself confronted with an unexpected proposal from Chris: “‘I know you don’t care about any of this and nor do I, but I had to stop you in your tracks. If you don’t want it, sell it and give it to charity. I think you’re wonderful. Will you marry me?’ I didn’t have a clue what to do. What is the etiquette when presented with a racing car? Get in, I suppose. I did just that. I wanted Chris to see me in it. I wanted to show him that I liked it. And what I really wanted was to kiss him. I beckoned him over and we had a quick peck. I said: ‘Thank you.’”

Following her second date with Chris, Billie ended her relationship with Richie for good and embarked on a Christmas trip to Madeira with her older beau. In May 2001, just five months after their initial encounter, Chris and Billie exchanged vows in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony.

During an intimate conversation with her former Doctor Who co-star on “David Tennant Does A Podcast With…,” the now 41-year-old Billie reflected on their adventurous years together: “I went and got completely hammered for three years with Chris Evans. So much fun – just living very hard. But with a lot of love and a big dose of curiosity and just, yeah – amazing time.”

Contrary to public perception, Billie Piper impulsive teenage marriage cherishes that phase of her life, emphasizing its significance in her personal growth: “That was really important to me, that period of my life.

And I haven’t brushed my hair since!”

Acknowledging the wild yet nurturing nature of their relationship, Billie Piper impulsive teenage marriage concluded, “We really had a really amazing time together. I imagine it’s what your uni years feel like – sort of reckless, but you’re learning a lot. It was an incredible time and, not to undermine our relationship because we also had a very loving relationship. It wasn’t just ‘oh, we’re going out and getting f*****’ – we had a very caring and loving relationship.”

Their journey wasn’t always smooth sailing. Eventually, the good times came to an end as the dynamics of their relationship shifted dramatically when Billie secured the career-defining role of Rose in Dr. Who. With Billie’s star on the rise, their differences became increasingly apparent.

In 2004, their whirlwind marriage reached its conclusion. However, despite this, Billie Piper impulsive teenage marriage and Chris have remained close friends over the years.

Reflecting on the demise of their marriage during a 2012 interview with Radio Times, Chris remarked, “Our lives changed. She regained her footing in her career. It became clear that we had grown apart. While the split was painful, it was ultimately the best decision we made, second only to our initial marriage. She was too young for me when we met at only 18, but it was an unforgettable adventure.”
