Even though she never thought she’d get married because of her disinterest in matrimony from an early age, today, Keira Knightley leads one of the most successful marriages with the British musician, James Righton. But the couple doesn’t exactly conform to most celebrities’ natural order of things, making their marriage a rare thing in the world of fame.

We at Bright Side love celebrity couples who seem normal, and we’d love to reveal their secrets to having an exemplary marriage.

1. They might have opposite personalities, but they still share the same habits.

Keira Knightley and James Righton met in 2011 at a party through a common friend. We do believe that opposites attract, and Knightley confirmed that when she said, “He’s the sort of person who will be the brightest light in any room, whereas I’m the one who sits in the corner.” She also admitted with a smile that Righton is way nicer than her.

On the other hand, their habits are very predictable, as they both genuinely enjoy spending a quiet night watching movies or just talking. The Love Actually star also described that both she and her husband are “geeks,” which makes them share a lot of interests.

2. They support each other and put family first.

The couple fully embraces parenthood for their 2 daughters, six-year-old Edie and 2-year-old Delilah, and do not let money and fame outrank the family. As a result, in October 2021, the actress dropped out as the lead in Apple TV+’s The Essex Serpent in order to devote herself to their 2 daughters and their health and safety.

Moreover, the Anna Karenina actress has been candid about motherhood’s ups and downs, and as she adapted to its hardships, she always had her supportive husband to lean on. In return, the actress assured that she would be the first person by Righton’s side if he ever were in trouble.
