After a series of long-term relationships with actors Jamie Dornan and Rupert Friend, Knightley, 27, started seeing Righton, 28, in early 2011 and he popped the question just over a year later. Her fiancé is the keyboardist/vocalist for the London-based indie rock brand Klaxons.
The couple was reportedly introduced by model/TV host Alexa Chung.

Knightley, who received an Academy Award nomination for her 2005 film "Pride & Prejudice," has two films in the works this year. The sci-fi flick "Seeing a Friend for the End of the World" will be out in June followed by the period piece "Anna Karenina" in November. Knightley and Righton have yet attend a public event together, so perhaps they'll make their red-carpet debut at one of her upcoming premieres.
