"Keleigh had caught my oculus aboriginal successful the night, and we talked," Teller recalled to Vogue in September 2019. "I didn't deliberation it went well, but aft a fewer much attempts, I got her to creation with me, and a week later, we went connected a date. After we met, I knew she was the one."

She besides whitethorn person been inspired to articulation Instagram that precise night, her very archetypal pic a changeable with Teller and immoderate different friends from May 3, 2013.

Teller had conscionable started making a sanction for himself successful films specified arsenic the heartbreaking Rabbit Hole, the remake of Footloose, and the teen play The Spectacular Now when helium met Sperry, truthful the exemplary from Orange County, Calif., has been done it each with him, from the archetypal emergence to the... ongoing rise.

Only 1 time? That's a beauteous darn bully way grounds successful Hollywood! Though determination was that clip an Esquire writer deemed him "kind of a dick" successful a 2015 profile, a headline-making crook of operation that trailed him for a bully while.

Though the Esquire article didn't notation to Sperry by name, she was mentioned arsenic the actor's "model/aspiring swimsuit designer/professional woman who thinks Teller is charismatic capable to person permanently monogrammed her cleanable ass with his initials."

Not to notation large capable to walk her beingness with.

"Happy day my booshki," Sperry captioned her celebratory 'gram post on their 2nd anniversary, "not definite however to enactment 8 years into 10 photos but I emotion you everlastingly much acknowledgment for being a stud of a husband, I adore you."

But really, the histrion shared, "She's lovely.

She tin travel to acceptable and sojourn maine and bent retired and doesn't truly distract maine from it."

And successful lawsuit determination was immoderate uncertainty astir however superior they were, up of their first-ever Oscars together successful February 2015, Keleigh's father, Rand Sperry, called into Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM amusement to springiness the then-E! big a heads-up that his girl would beryllium Teller's day that weekend.

While his fame was inactive burgeoning, helium and Sperry were capable to bask a reasonably backstage courtship, an histrion already down for the count never making rather arsenic galore headlines arsenic the ones who are actively playing the field. But yet a semipermanent emotion communicative is the benignant with a batch of adorable anecdotes.

Such arsenic erstwhile helium tweeted in April 2016 that helium was dating "the 1 idiosyncratic who has ne'er seen Titanic."

"She'll inquire maine to bash something, I'll say, 'What?' and she'll say, 'For the past father-f--king time, tin you drawback me, the da-da-da,'" Teller shared connected Starting 9. "I mean, she's a sweetheart, she conscionable loves quoting J.K. Simmons to me."

And erstwhile Sperry isn't making Teller relive the panic of Simmons' Oscar-winning crook arsenic his ruthlessly demanding euphony teacher in Whiplash, she's inactive helping his beingness tally arsenic smoothly arsenic possible.

He put a deposit down connected forever in 2017, buying a ringing and toting it with him erstwhile helium and Sperry traveled to the Seychelles—where helium purposely did not ask her to wed him because helium figured she was expecting a connection connected the beach and helium wanted to astonishment her arsenic overmuch arsenic possible—and South Africa that August.
