Keleigh Teller has been in the public eye for years, however she’s found herself in the global spotlight after becoming a member of Taylor Swift’s inner circle.
The actress and model, who is married to actor Miles Teller, is quickly becoming known for her excellent style and for being a loyal friend to the “Cruel Summer” singer.
Read on for everything you need to know about the brunette beauty.
The California native was born in Orange County and is one of six children.
Her father founded the commercial real estate brand Sperry Van Ness and is also the CEO of the commercial real estate investment company Sperry Equities.
She had an uncredited role in a 2011 music video and the 2017 short film, “Dance,” according to her IMDb.
However, in recent years it seems her focus has shifted to the business world, as she co-owns the Finnish liquor brand, Long Drink, and fashion label, BYLT Basics, per her Twitter bio.
Keleigh and Miles met at a Grammys afterparty for the Black Keys in May 2013.
“Keleigh had caught my eye early in the night, and we talked,” the actor told Vogue in 2019.
“I didn’t think it went well, but after a few more attempts, I got her to dance with me, and a week later, we went on a date. After we met, I knew she was the one.”
Keleigh, for her part, said she “adored” the “Top Gun: Maverick” star from the “first moment” she met him.
“He was so charming and charismatic,” she told the outlet.
After four years of dating, Miles popped the question during a trip to Africa in August 2017.
“I was surprised to see a rose in the middle of winter in Africa, so I walked over and found a note attached to the rose that said the day we started dating and the day it was,” she recalled.
“I turned around, and he read it and said, ‘That was the first day you became my girlfriend and today is the last,’ and he got down on one knee. It was so thoughtful and romantic.”
The couple tied the knot in September 2019 in Hawaii.
They picked the tropical destination after vacationing on the island multiple times throughout their relationship.
“We fell in love with it together,” Keleigh explained. “We both felt happiest there and wanted it to be a big part of our lives forever.”
Keleigh stunned in a classic white gown, along with her mom’s necklace, which had been worn by all of her sisters on their wedding days.
“I wanted to keep it elegant and classic since our ceremony was in a church, but I also wanted there to be a light feel to the dress,” she explained.
Although the pair went into lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic just six months after saying “I do,” the “Divergent” actor said it made their marriage stronger than ever.
“We just hang out. She keeps me calm. It’s pretty great,” he told Men’s Health in 2020.
“I’m with her now from when I wake up to the moment I go to bed. We have a lot of friends whose relationships got put under a magnifying glass during these times, but we are really great. Once you get married and you make that ultimate commitment, life is just a lot less stressful. You just know that person is always going to be there.”
It’s not clear how the pair initially became connected, however Keleigh posted her first photo with the pop star on her birthday in 2014.
“Happy birthday t-swizzle,” she captioned a pic of herself posing with Swift and Jessica Szohr on Twitter at the time.
They kept their friendship low key through the years, however, Keleigh shared a snap of the flowers she received from the Grammy winner on her wedding day.
“May you always be this close, forever & ever. Sending my best wishes to to two lovers on their big day. Your friend, Taylor,” Swift’s card read, quoting from her song, “Lover.”
A couple of years later, Keleigh and Miles starred in the music video for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version),” which was directed by Blake Lively.
The 2021 film clip showed the couple tying the knot, before being interrupted by Swift, who played Teller’s ex-girlfriend.
Keleigh and Miles then attended two of Swift’s concerts in East Rutherford, N.J., during her 2023 Eras Tour.
Shortly afterward, the two women began hanging out more frequently, and were spotted out and about in New York City on several occasions with some of Swift’s other gal pals.
Keleigh and Swift made headlines at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards after fans were convinced they were gossiping about Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner with Selena Gomez.
Lip-reading expert Jeremy Freeman agreed with internet sleuths who theorized that the “Calm Down” singer went up to her pals and said, “He didn’t want a picture with me. He said no.”
Keleigh then seemingly clarified, “Timothée?” to which Gomez nodded.
Both Gomez and Chalamet later denied this account.
As a member of Swift’s inner circle, Keleigh has been on hand to support her friend’s beau, Travis Kelce, at several Kansas City Chiefs games.
Notably, she attended the NFL team’s big game against the Baltimore Ravens in January 2023, which earned them a place in the Super Bowl.
The model even took fans behind the scenes when she shared a TikTok of their VIP suite celebrating Kelce’s big win.
“Alright #chiefskingdom one more since you’re so kind,” she captioned the video, which was paired with the fan-favorite song “You’re On Your Own, Kid.”
Both Miles and Keleigh count several Hollywood A-listers as their pals.
Some of their closest friends include Nina Dobrev, Shaun White, Julia Garner and Shailene Woodley.
