Screen star Keira Knightley is reported to be pregnant with her first child.

The 29-year-old actress, who landed a Golden Globe nomination for her role in The Imitation Game yesterday, is said to be more than three months into the pregnancy.

Elle UK said her agent had confirmed she was to become a mother, but said there would be no further announcement from the parents themselves.

Righton's indie band Klaxons shot to fame around 2006 winning a string of awards and scoring a UK number 2 album with Myths of the Near Future in 2007.

Their third album, Love Frequency, was released in June this year, but only reached 38 in the album chart.
