Riley Keough and Ben Smith-Petersen tried to be together as much time as possible while filming in Australia, knowing their days were numbered. But their connection was real, and they decided to act on it — even if they risked never seeing each other again. “We got matching tattoos the third day we hung out, just for fun, never thinking the relationship would go anywhere,” Keough wrote in a 2022 essay for Vogue Australia. Later on, the stuntman proved once again he isn’t afraid to show his love for his wife through his body.
In September 2021, Keough shared an Instagram photo featuring a large tattoo on Smith-Petersen’s lower abdomen dedicated to her. Keough may have thought the relationship wasn’t in the cards for them, but her instincts were picking up the vibes that he might become more than that. “Two weeks into dating him, we were at a gas station and I was like, ‘I could see myself having kids with this person,'” she told USA Today. “It was kind of like I knew I was meeting my husband. It was very cool.”

Two months after kissing for the first time, Keough and Smith-Petersen moved in together. Four months after, they were engaged. All these years later, Keough and Smith-Petersen have never looked back. “7 years of RAD luck. I love you to the moon & back. 7,000 more years please,” Smith-Petersen captioned an Instagram post marking their wedding anniversary.
