Ben Smith-Petersen, Riley Keough’s husband, is a seasoned stuntman and actor from Australia. His performances in internationally acclaimed movies such as The Battle of Five Armies and The Great Gatsby speak volumes about his flair for art.
Smith-Petersen has a great love of music and he even voiced for the song Sand Snapper back in 2013, which earned him considerable recognition.
Furthermore, Smith-Petersen’s acting ability was evidently spotted by the creators of Triple Frontier who chose him to feature in their crime drama.
Sadly, on 12 January 2023, Riley Keough’s mother Lisa Marie passed away after her death was announced by Priscilla Presley.
Riley opened up about her husband in an interview.
She revealed, ‘It was more profound than just being obsessed with one another. He always made me feel at ease. You know when you first start dating someone, and you feel awkward, like you don’t want to eat in front of them, you wake up and put on makeup or something crazy like that? Even at first, I simply always felt really comfortable with him and yearned to be close to him.’
Two years later, Smith-Petersen proposed and announced the good news on Facebook, posting a selfie of his then-fiancée wearing her engagement ring that he had created from a diamond his mother had given him as a gift.
In February 2015, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six and Smith-Petersen exchanged vows in charming Napa, California.
‘Ben received his black belt in BJJ today. He achieved his lifelong goal of becoming a black belt before turning 30. I’m very proud of you,’ the War Pony actress captioned her husband’s Jiu-Jitsu victory in April 2021 on Instagram.
Smith-Petersen routinely posts romantic photos of the married couple on social media.
