Their first son was born in November 2016. On September 18, 2021, Scodelario announced she was expecting her second child. In December 2021, she gave birth to a daughter.

She allegedly showed off her tattoo in January 2015 via Instagram. At the time of writing, it is unknown if Scodelario still has the tattoo or not.
Another tattoo the actress has is “Nosso amor é único” inked on her ribs. She revealed it on Instagram back in 2012.

The tattoo is in Portuguese, which means “Our love is unique” in English. The other tattoos she has is a vine with flowers on her right foot and a date in Roman numerals on her left hand.
The date reads XXI-XI-MMXVI and is adorned with the New York skyline on top and London’s on the bottom. However, it is unknown what the date means to her.

In the past, the actress was used to smoking weed. She talked about her smoking habits with The Standard, where she revealed that she had a phase of smoking weed but stopped later on because of her mother.
She said, “I always knew about sex, about drugs, about religion. I did go through a phase of smoking weed but I told her about it and she convinced me to stop and I’ve never smoked it again.”
So, even though she does not smoke weed anymore, not much is known about her smoking cigarettes, at the time of writing.
Kaya Scodelario’s bio and career
Scodelario was born on March 13, 1992, in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. Her mother, Katia, is from Itu, São Paulo, Brazil, and migrated to England in 1990.
Her surname is derived from her Italian grandpa. Her father, Roger Humphrey, died in November 2010.
Scodelario’s parents split when she was one year old, and she went to London with her mother at the age of four. They first faced challenges, including spending their first night on the streets, before settling in a municipal apartment on Holloway Road.
Scodelario adopted her mother’s surname and grew up speaking Portuguese at home. Despite the difficulties, she attended Bishop Douglass Catholic School and then Islington Arts and Media School, where she found peace in acting and used it to avoid bullying.
She won a part as Effy Stonem in the first series of the TV program Skins in 2006 when she was 14 years old and had no acting experience. Despite early concerns about her age, she pleased producers and went on to play an important role in the following episodes.
Her portrayal received critical acclaim, garnering her two nominations for Best Actress at the TV Quick Awards in 2009 and 2010. She moved into cinema with parts in Moon (2009), Shank (2010), and Clash of the Titans (2010).
She received more praise for her role as Cathy in Andrea Arnold’s version of Wuthering Heights (2011), which opened at the Venice Film Festival. She expanded her repertoire with appearances in films and television shows such as The Maze Runner franchise, Southcliffe (2013), and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017).
She has broadened her horizons with projects such as the Netflix series Spinning Out (2019), in which she played a figure skater struggling with mental health issues within her family. Scodelario continues to explore varied roles, with recent projects including the horror picture Crawl (2019), and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021), among others.
In April 2019, Scodelario filmed the newest Agatha Christie miniseries adaption, The Pale Horse, for Amazon and the BBC. In August 2021, Scodelario joined Amazon Studios’ dramedy Don’t Make Me Go, and the following summer, he shot This Is Christmas.
