Keira Knightley's husband spotted without wedding ring as divorce rumors swirl
Keira Knightley’s husband, James Righton, stepped out without his wedding band as split rumors swirl.
The musician recently biked around London sans ring, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Monday.
Righton sported a colorful plaid jacket and an “I don’t work here” cap during the ride, his fingers noticeably bare.

The outing added fuel to divorce rumblings that began in February, when Knightley dropped her partner’s surname from official documents related to her performing arts company, KCK Boo Ltd.
Her name was reportedly to Keira Christina Knightley instead of Righton.
Page Six has reached out to Knightley’s rep for comment. A rep for Righton could not be reached.

The couple started dating in 2011 and tied the knot two years later in an intimate ceremony in France.
Knightley, 41, and Righton, 42, have welcomed two daughters during their time together: Edie, 10, and Delilah, 6.

While the Oscar nominee has primarily kept her relationship out of the spotlight, she made a rare comment to the Times in 2024, joking that 11 years together “is good for an actress and a musician.”
She admitted, “We really annoy each other. But, f–k, do we laugh.”
Knightly added that collaborating on a project with Righton would be an “awful” idea, explaining, “He tries to get me to clap on things occasionally and apparently I’ve got no timing, and we end up in a big row.”
The “Love Actually” star also opened up about her selectivity in choosing roles as a working mom.

“I couldn’t go job to job [abroad] now. It wouldn’t be in any way fair on [my kids], and I wouldn’t want to,” Knightley said at the time.
“I’ve chosen to have children, I want to bring them up, so I’ve had to take a major step back.”
Additionally, Knightley declared she will not take part in a movie franchise like “Pirates of the Caribbean” again because “the hours are insane.”
