Personal Life
Knightley had a relationship with actor Jamie Dornan from 2003 to 2005. She dated her Pride & Prejudice co-star Rupert Friend from 2005 until December 2010. She began dating musician James Righton in late February 2011, and the couple became engaged in May 2012.
Knightley has denied rumours she is anorexic, although her family has a history of anorexia. Knightley sued the Daily Mail after they claimed she lied about having anorexia; the article said that a teenage girl died from anorexia, indicating that Knightley's physical appearance may have influenced her in some way. She was awarded a settlement.
In July 2006, Knightley said she has become a workaholic, suggesting that she would take a one-year break from acting to travel and focus on her personal life.
Knightley is an atheist.

The years slip from me and have not fulfilled
The aspiration of my youth, to build
Some tower of song with lofty parapet.”
