In 2020, Gaia Wise spent the first COVID lockdown in Scotland with her family, even though, as Emma Thompson told the Daily Mail, she "was supposed to be off doing her own thing." Wise ended up becoming the family chef.
However, in the summer of 2020, Wise moved out of her family home into her first apartment. "Been in London nearly a week," Wise wrote on Instagram in August 2020. "I've drunk multiple bottles of Prosecco, seen fabulous people and moved into my first ever flat."
Thompson helped Wise make the move. "I came down to London with her to move her into her flat, which is very close and it was very exciting," her mother, Emma Thompson, said to Vogue a year later, adding, "She's grown up. She's left. You don't expect it. But grief of any kind is like that, isn't it?" Even though Wise was still in London close to Thompson, her mother struggled with her new empty-nester status.
