Keira Knightley Is Pregnant, Expecting First Child With James Righton

The British actress has just been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award and Golden Globe Award for her supporting work in The Imitation Game, but Keira won't be toasting the exciting news with champagne. Multiple media outlets including Us Weekly and E! News are reporting she's pregnant.

This will be the first child for Knightley, 29, and her husband, James Righton. According to reports, she is more than three months along.
Righton — the 31-year-old co-vocalist and keyboardist for London-based band Klaxons — and Keira tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in France in the summer of 2013. It was so low key, in fact, that the fashion icon recycled a Chanel dress to wear on her wedding day.

The Begin Again actress previously told Vogue that while she hopes to have a family one day, she won't give up her career to do so.

“Would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No," she said. "On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at.”

When speaking with Elle U.K. in June, Keira was asked if she would encourage her hypothetical teenage daughter to be an actress.

"Oh, 100%, I’d absolutely tell her not to. I would 150 million trillion per cent be totally discouraging of [her] doing anything like that."

She continued, "If the kid is going to do that then they have to do it on their own. And I would say teenage years should be done privately. You should be going out and getting unbelievably drunk, getting into ridiculous situations, making mistakes. That’s what that time of life is about and we should do that privately, one million trillion zillion per cent. Saying that, I don’t regret it — I wouldn’t do my life any differently."

While it is unknown whether Keira has a little girl or boy on the way, one thing is for sure… her maternity style is going to be awesome this awards season.
