Keira Knightley and James Righton are engaged! Keira's publicist shared the exciting news today, saying, "I can confirm that Keira is engaged to be married to James Righton."

Keira Knightley Has a London Date Night With Boyfriend James Righton
Keira Knightley linked arms with boyfriend James Righton for an evening out in London yesterday. Following dinner at La Bodega Negra, they stopped at London's outpost of The Box, where, along with Downton Abbey's Dan Stephens, they saw a show from pianist Jean-Philippe Rio-Py.
Keira's Interview cover and feature just came out, and in the publication she opened up about her forthcoming film, Seeking a Friend at the End of the World. She stars in the end-of-the-world comedy opposite Steve Carell. She said of the project, "Well, Steve is absolutely wonderful. I loved his work on Little Miss Sunshine. He has this amazing ability to be incredibly funny but have that pathos at the same time — sort of that crying-clown thing. The movie itself has comic moments, but it's about the end of the world, so obviously it has an apocalyptic feel to it that's not that comic, because everybody dies . . . Other than that, though, it's hilarious!"

Michael Fassbender was in a joking mood last night following his London premiere of A Dangerous Method! Inside 34 restaurant, he danced around with a Burberry Prorsum-clad Keira Knightley and their costar Viggo, as well as some other lucky attendees! Michael then sat at a piano to serenade the group that also included Keira's mom Sharman Macdonald. He got a piggyback ride from a friend out to his car, then proceeded to mock-fight with a group of photographers. Keira made a more low-key exit with her Klaxons musician boyfriend James Righton. It was an evening of fun during what's shaping up to be another busy year for Michael. It was recently confirmed that he'll work on another X-Men movie with director Matthew Vaughn.

Making the trek to Canada along with Keira was her boyfriend, James Righton of the Klaxons, on Friday. Keira had the company of her big-screen leading man Viggo Mortensen for Saturday afternoon's press conference, and the duo showed their appreciation for the local culture by posing with two hockey jerseys. At the event, Keira spoke about her love of acting. She said, "Acting is what keeps me grounded. Acting is therapy. . . I think it is incredibly cathartic and particularly playing a role like this. It is almost strange what a wonderful time we had." Keira changed from her multicolored dress into a lace one for the premiere and Sony Pictures cocktail party later.

James will be heading back to Europe soon as he preps to take the stage at a Krakow, Poland, music festival with his band this Friday, and perhaps Keira will be able to break from shooting in order to join him overseas.
