Keira Knightley's husband sparks split talk with bare ring finger

Musician James Righton has been photographed cycling through London with his wedding ring noticeably absent, intensifying speculation about his marriage to actress Keira Knightley. This public appearance follows reports from February that Knightley had dropped Righton's surname from official records pertaining to her performing arts company, KCK Boo Ltd. Her name was allegedly updated to Keira Christine Knightley.

The couple, who began dating in 2011 and married in France in 2013, are parents to two daughters, Edie, aged 10, and Delilah, aged 6. They recently presented a united front during a family excursion to Venice, Italy, earlier this month.

Knightley, 41, has previously spoken about their relationship, humorously noting in 2024 that 11 years together was "good for an actress and a musician." She alluded to their dynamic, saying they "really annoy each other" but "laugh." She also shared that collaborating creatively would be a "big row."

The "Love Actually" star has also discussed her career choices as a mother, stating she would not take on demanding roles abroad due to fairness to her children. She also indicated a reluctance to participate in another major film franchise like "Pirates of the Caribbean" due to the "insane" hours required.
