    Miles Teller was rejected "three times" by Keleigh Sperry before she agreed to a date

    The 37-year-old actor has now been married to Keleigh, 32, since 2019 but admitted that when he was first trying to ask her out, she was having none of it


    He told E! News: "When I first met her, she turned me down like three times in one night.

    "I would say the fact I kept coming back and trying to swoon her, I'll give myself a pat on the back for that."

    The 'Gorge' star met Keleigh backstage at a party for the Grammy Awards in 2013 but she almost left before he got her contact details and he "got lucky" in the end because he managed to catch her.

    He said: "I got lucky the valet line was very long. She was leaving and I had no idea how to contact her or anything. Now look at us 12 years later!"

    The 'Top Gun: Maverick' star previously admitted around the time of his engagement to Keleigh - who is an actress and notably appeared alongside her husband in Taylor Swift's music video for 'I Bet You Think About Me' in 2012 - that the pair of them "just clicked" and he was sure that the relationship was going to be a long-term arrangement.

    He told People: "We just clicked. I told my buddy, 'I think I'm going to be with this girl for a long time."

    When he popped the question, Miles and Keleigh were on an African safari and he handed her a rose with the dates of their relationship written on it, along with a message that notified her that she would no longer wake up "as his girlfriend.

    She said: "I'll never get the image out of my head of him down on one knee with a tear in his eye. He really thought about every detail and was so nervous!"
