In 2011, she did a tandem skydive to raise money for CRISIS charity.

In 2015, her father announced Rylance's engagement to Giuseppe (Peppe) Ciardi,[6] and their son Teodoro was born in February 2016.[7] Georgina Rylance played the on-screen daughter of Mark Rylance in the 2005 movie The Government Inspector.[8]
