Out and about: Keira Knightley, 38, enjoyed a relaxing walk with her husband James Righton, 40, through north London on Wednesday
Keira and James married in 2013 in the south of France, where she wore Chanel couture as they exchanged vows in front of 11 guests.
The actress enjoyed some valuable time off as she prepared to film new Netflix drama Black Doves in the coming weeks.
The upcoming series is set during the Christmas period and features Keira as Helen, a woman with a secret identity who embarks on a torrid affair.
But she faces a mystery after he is targeted by members of London’s underworld, prompting her panicked employers to call in a security guard in an attempt to protect her.
The actress recently addressed the increasing use of artificial intelligence in films, a reactionary move by studios to replace actors still embroiled in SAG-AFTRA attacks in the United States.
Responding to the growing trend, Keira admitted that she might be forced to take preventive action by copyrighting her face, preventing unauthorized use of it.
She said, “Right now, for actresses, it’s all about the voice, and they’re trying to protect the voiceover industry.
‘I don’t know why that is, but I know this is the negotiation. But I imagine the next step will be copyrighting my face.”

Keira continued: “AI has the potential to be catastrophic and I hope governments step in and regulate it,” she added.
Studios like Amazon, Netflix and Apple propose using AI to replace humans with digital scans where an actor’s likeness can be superimposed on a stunt double.
Hollywood actors and writers are currently united in their first ‘double strike’ in more than 60 years, vowing to protect every worker in the industry from being replaced by AI.
It comes as celebrities are increasingly being targeted by deepfake technology, which can use their voices and likeness for everything from advertisements to make-believe songs and pornography.
Actor Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in March last year, was deeply impersonated by ‘appearing’ in an advert in which he was strapped to a bomb on the back of a yacht, growling Mississippi in a Russian accent .
Fears: Keira will not let artificial intelligence deprive her of her successful acting career. Amid the Hollywood strikes, she plans to copyright her face
Leading lady: The actress, who recently starred in Ridley Scott’s Boston Strangler (pictured), likes to have control over her projects
The question of “who owns Bruce Willis” became a concern for SAG-AFTRA last year and began fighting against contracts that took advantage of their members’ naivety in AI.
Keira, who recently starred in Ridley Scott’s Boston Strangler, refuses to be copied and likes to have control over her projects.
The Bend It Like Beckham star has five films to her credit and recently teamed up with Ridley Scott for his project The Boston Strangler, which was well received by critics.
She recently quit starring in the Apple TV adaptation of Sarah Perry’s historical novel The Essex Serpent to be with her family when COVID restrictions made getting childcare difficult.
