Keira Knightley and James Righton’s relationship history
Keira Knightley and her husband James Righton crossed paths at a dinner party after being introduced by mutual friends in 2011. They then got engaged a year later in 2012.
The couple then tied the knot on May 4, 2013. The following year, Knightley admitted to Time Out that she actually “never” considered getting married. “My parents are deeply hippy. They got married because it was the only way they could get a mortgage at the time,” she said. “So I grew up with them going: ‘Don’t know why you’d ever get married.’ And then we did. It’s nice. It’s been fun,” she added.
Two years later, in May 2015, they welcomed a daughter, Edie. Then four years later, they were blessed with their second daughter, Delilah.
