Sperry flaunted her romantic gesture on Instagram, sharing clips and pictures that captured Teller's stunned reaction to her proposal. The carousel began with a video of the big moment, with the actress-model in a white dress.

She got down on one knee, holding a jewelry box, and appeared to ask Teller, "Will you accept the key to my heart?" The audio wasn't clear, but her beau's confused "What is this?" and "What is happening?" could be heard.

One of the couple's pals behind the camera told Teller, "She's proposing to you," while others screamed and cheered. The actor still didn't get the memo, wondering what was happening while someone drove a boat into the frame.

Teller Felt An Instant Connection To His Wife

In a separate interview in 2019, Teller recalled his instantaneous connection to Sperry, saying: "Keleigh had caught my eye early in the night, and we talked.I didn't think it went well, but after a few more attempts, I got her to dance with me."

"A week later, we went on a date. After we met, I knew she was the one," the actor claimed. The pair dated for four years before Teller popped the question during a safari in South Africa.

They eventually tied the knot in a private Maui ceremony followed by a sunset reception at the Ritz Carlton Kapalua Hotel in September 2019. The couple chose the Hawaiian venue as a nod to the Sperry family's annual vacation to the island.

Teller and Sperry had the honor of helping Taylor Swift shoot the music video for "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)." The Blast reported the process got the actor's wife emotional, given her love for the singer.

"When we were shooting the music video, Taylor played for Keleigh the 'All Too Well (10 Minute Version)' for the first time," Teller recalled, adding:

"Keleigh was just looking at Taylor in her wedding dress and Taylor and I dancing while she was listening to 'All Too Well,' the new one, and she was just bawling her eyes out."

Miles Teller certainly doesn't have to worry about Taylor Swift stealing his place in Keleigh Sperry's heart, given her latest romantic gesture.
