Keira and Rupert’s romance first came to light after they were spotted frolicking on a beach during a break in the Bahamas. An onlooker was quoted as saying: "Keira and Rupert looked very much in love. She was smiling and he couldn’t keep his hands off her - she looked fantastic." The photographs ended months of speculation that Keira had rekindled her romance with model Jamie. The couple split last year following a string of rows over their conflicting work schedules, but were later spotted strolling hand in hand in London.
Keira - the face of Asprey’s jewellers - is in trouble - Mar 8, 2020
Keira Knightley - the face of Asprey’s jewellers - is in trouble for promoting a rival firm. The star, nominated for an Oscar for her role in ’Pride And Prejudice’, wore a Bulgari necklace to the star studded Hollywood event on Sunday (05.02.06), instead of one of their designs. see photos
An insider at the ceremony said: "They are absolutely b****y furious. "There have been reports of a looming financial crisis at Asprey, so it’s their second PR disaster this week." Although Asprey have refused to comment on the claims, it is not known how the blunder will affect her deal with the Royal jeweller.
Meanwhile, Keira was forced to change out of her stunning Vera Wang dress after the ceremony - because people kept standing on it. The stunning 20-year-old actress admitted she was ready to party after the event - despite not winning an award - but was sick of people clambering all over her gown. She revealed: "I was wearing a fabulous dress - it was beautiful but it had this long tail and people kept treading on it. "I heard it’s a real crush in the party so I thought I’d change into something that people wouldn’t stand on."

However, the 20-year-old has also been spotted kissing her ’Pride and Prejudice’ co-star, Rupert Friend, 21. The pair were snapped last week getting playful in the sea in the Bahamas.

She starred in The Princess of Thieves in ’01, and then in Bend It Like Beckham in ’02, where she played the role of a football-obsessed teenager alongside the lead actress Parminder Nagra. Because she had barely touched a football until then, Keira trained intensely for three full months, practicing tricks and ball handling, Brazilian style. As Bend It Like Beckham gained in popularity, so did Keira, making a name for herself.
It was not long before Jerry Bruckheimer, the famous Hollywood producer of blockbusters like Pearl Harbor, chose her for a leading role in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (’03), starring alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. The Pirates of the Caribbean went on to become a huge international box-office hit, bringing Keira’s fame to an international level.
Her latest appearance is as Guinevere in the new Disney adaptation of King Arthur’s tales. Hollywood seems to have taken a liking to her. As have Glamour magazine’s ’fashion analysts,’ who listed her as the fifth best-dressed female celebrity world-wide (Kate Moss came in number one, but she’s got about a decade of experience under the belt, if nothing else).
