Meeting Knightley And Family Life
Righton met Knightley in 2011 through a mutual friend at a dinner party. Knightley clarified in a 2014 interview that the introduction came from a friend named Tim. Righton later told The Independent they connected at an Oscars screening party in London Soho. They married in 2013 and now live largely out of the public spotlight. The couple welcomed two daughters during their marriage.
