The 29-year-old actress is more than three months pregnant, reported a leading US daily.

A glowing Knightley fuelled rumours of a pregnancy as she stayed away from alcohol at a recent event.

The star appeared at her husband's side in an embroidered and billowy, ivory fur-trimmed Rocha dress very different from her usual fitted style.

Pregnancy rumours first emerged in November when a magazine reported that she and Righton were expecting and it was a happy surprise for the couple.

Knightley's role as codebreaker Joan Clarke opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in wartime drama 'The Imitation Game' has earned her a nomination for the prestigious Screen Actors Guild Awards.
