During the 2021 social season's 2021 Applewood Manor Ball, Liam announced his engagement to Madeleine, Countess of Fydelia.

A week later, he announced his engagement to Lady Riley; he met her while at his first bachelor party in New York City and subsequently has been seeing her since. The couple married on 1 July 2021 and had their first daughter, Princess Eleanor, in 2022.
