Keira Knightley and James Righton's Relationship Timeline

Keira Knightley and James Righton have been together for more than a decade.

A mutual friend introduced the Pirates of the Caribbean star and British musician in 2011. By May 2013, Knightley and Righton were married.

A year later, the actress admitted to TimeOut that she "never" saw herself getting married.

"My parents are deeply hippy. They got married because it was the only way they could get a mortgage at the time," Knightley explained. "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. Until it isn’t and then you get divorced! Fingers crossed for the future."

Righton and the actress have since welcomed two children: daughters Edie and Delilah, whom they actively keep out of the spotlight.

From meeting at a dinner party to becoming parents, here's a complete timeline of Keira Knightley and James Righton's relationship.

The Atonement actress later recalled their first night together during a 2014 interview with The Guardian, while also clearing up some rumors, explaining that they met "through our mate Tim, not Alexa Chung, as people keep telling me." She added, "We were very drunk."

In 2017, Righton also recalled their first initial meeting during an interview with the New York Post, noting that his now-wife had never heard of his former band, the Klaxons. "She'd never heard of us. Keira was in America when we were having our moment in the sun in the UK, so she was oblivious," he said, adding: "But over the years, she came to loads of gigs and loved 'Surfing the Void.' "

"Keira looked beautiful," the source added. "She wore a very pretty, very elegant dress."

The couple also had a second secret ceremony just for friends, though the date and location are not known. While the actress wore a tulle Chanel dress that she had previously worn on multiple occasions on her actual wedding day, she had a different dress in store for her second celebration: a custom Valentino gown, adorned with pink roses.

"I wore it for the ceremony we had just for our friends, in a wood, because you have to have flowers on a dress in a wood," she told Elle UK in their July 2014 issue.

We had a beautiful wedding and there was a lot of love."

"The music is the music," he continued. "That thing is going to be there because of who she is but I'd say we're a pretty established band."

While she was able to learn enough guitar for her scenes in the film, she said she will leave the guitar playing to her husband.

"My fingers looked awful. They were callused and looked disgusting," she added. "I stopped playing and tried going back to it, but my fingers hurt too much, so I'm not going to do it again. I'll let him do all the playing."
