P&P Couple Sighting!New candid photos of former Pride & Prejudice stars Keira Knightley (25) and long time love Rupert Friend (29), best known to us, P&P fans, as the unlikely pair (in the P&P movie) Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Wickham. These real-life couple has been together since probably even before the movie was released back in 2005. It's amazing that they're still together more than five years now, but had kept their relationship on the down low and private as possible. Neither one talks about the other in interviews (unless it's about their short films together). Though pictures don't lie...they're very much together (and had been since P&P movie was released 5 years ago and apparently love working together as they appeared in 3 films: Pride & Prejudice, The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of The Suicide Brothers, and Steve), but it's great that they keep their relationship quiet and private as possible. Love them for that and that's what keeps them separate from those high profile, but short (and unhappily ever after) Hollywood romances. Will there be a wedding bells anytime soon or in their future? Only time will tell. I wish them both all the best and hope they stay in love and together for a very long time.
Anyway, here are their new pics together out and about, holding hand, and strolling through east London last week (October 3rd). Looks like Keira's not the only one with a new short do, Rupert looks to have a new and even shorter haircut himself. How cute! I think he looks handsome with short hair. They look great together and even younger too with their new haircut, don't they?
Speaking of the handsome Rupert Friend, he was also at the Never Let Me Go - Afterparty: 54th BFI London Film Festival to show support of his former P&P co-stars Keira Knightley (his girlfriend of course) and Carey Mulligan as they premiered their new film, Never Let Me Go at LFF. Next week, he will likely be back with KK at LFF to premiere his new short film, Steve, which he directed and also featured Keira, Colin Firth (as the title role), and friend Tom Mison.
