How Long Did Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan Date?

 Keira Knightley is known to many fans around the world as one of Hollywood’s most dynamic and interesting actors. A star who made a name for herself for her work in period dramas, Knightley marches to the beat of her own drum — always remaining outspoken and charming, no matter what scandals she might be forced to deal with in the press.

These days, Knightley is happily married to a musician named James Righton, with two young children. However, back in the day, when Knightley was beginning her rise to fame, she was linked to another actor, who wouldn’t ultimately hit his stride in Hollywood until after he and Knightley split. 

Keira Knightley began her career as a child actor, appearing in various television shows well before she reached maturity. A few of Knightley’s early television films included Innocent Lies, Coming Home, Oliver Twist, and The Treasure Seekers. Knightley’s first big leading role was in the 2001 Walt Disney movie Princess of Thieves, where she played the young daughter of Robin Hood. Knightley made an impression on fans, and in 2002, she was cast in the high-profile film Bend It Like Beckham.
