• Keira Knightley and her husband James Righton attended Wimbledon on July 10.

• It marked their first public appearance since February.

• Knightley and Righton have been married for over a decade.

Keira Knightley and James Righton made a rare joint appearance as they attended Wimbledon in London on July 10. The actress and her husband enjoyed a tennis match for their first outing in months.

Knightley embraced tournament’s all-white dress code in a collared long-sleeve dress featuring a bow-tie neckline and a built-in belt. Righton, meanwhile, paired a blue-and-white striped seersucker suit with a pink button-down. The couple held hands as they entered the venue, as well as when they were seated in the stands.

The Pirates of the Caribbean alum married Righton, a musician, in 2013. They share two daughters, who were born in 2015 and 2019, respectively.

The last time that Knightley and Righton were photographed together was in February, when they sat front row at Erdem’s latest show.

In December, Knightley gave fans a rare—and hilarious—glimpse into the early days of their relationship, including a frustrating characteristic of his. During an interview on the “Dish” podcast, Knightley revealed she was forced to “train” her then-boyfriend due to his “bizarre” habits.

Knightley is a self-professed foodie and wine snob, but Righton was the opposite when they first started dating in 2011. The Pride & Prejudice star, who was previously linked to Jamie Dornan and Rupert Friend, admitted she was dismayed when she discovered that Righton was like a “child” when it came to his diet.

“He just couldn’t cook, all he ate was cheese on toast. I was like, ‘This is not going to work,'” she recalled while speaking to hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett. “He wouldn’t even go out for dinner. He didn’t understand going to restaurants.”

“My oldest friend is a proper old-school bon viveur. We basically trained him,” Knightley added. “We took him out to restaurants and he wouldn’t try anything. He was like a child. He used to shut his eyes, and we’d be like, ‘Try it, try it!'”
