The absence of a wedding ring on James Righton's finger has once again raised questions about the couple's possible separation.
Rumors about a possible divorce between Keira Knightley and her husband James Righton after 12 years of marriage have flared up again. The reason for this is the recent behavior of the famous actress's husband.
Paparazzi recently captured 42-year-old Righton during his bike ride through the streets of London. Journalists were drawn to the absence of a wedding ring on his ring finger, as reported by PageSix.
Back in February, the public learned that Knightley had removed her husband's surname from the official documents of her company KCK Boo Ltd, which specializes in the performing arts. It was also revealed that the actress began using the signature Keira Christina Knightley.
These changes immediately sparked speculation online about the impending divorce of the star couple. However, just at the beginning of April, the 41-year-old actress was seen with her husband and children during a family vacation in picturesque Venice.
The love story of Keira Knightley and musician James Righton began in 2011. Two years later, they tied the knot in a modest ceremony in France, and now they are raising two daughters: ten-year-old Edie and six-year-old Delilah.
In 2024, the actress shared rare thoughts about her marriage, humorously noting that 11 years of life together is "good for an actress and a musician." She candidly admitted in an interview: "We annoy each other terribly. But, damn, how we laugh!
"Knightley also emphasized that working together with Righton on any project would be a "terrible" idea.
The actress also touched on her selectivity in choosing roles after having children. She stated: "I couldn't travel abroad for work right now. That would be completely unfair to my children, and I wouldn't want that." Knightley noted that after the arrival of her children, she made a conscious decision to focus on their upbringing and "take a serious step back" in her career.
Moreover, Knightley has categorically refused to participate in film franchises like "Pirates of the Caribbean." She explained that such a work schedule is "just crazy" and incompatible with her priorities.
Before her marriage, Knightley had relationships with actors Del Synnott and Jamie Dornan. She also had a long-term romance with Rupert Friend, her co-star in the film "Pride and Prejudice."
