How did Riley Keough meet Ben Smith-Petersen?

Keough and Smith-Petersen met while filming Mad Max: Fury Road in 2012, but didn't start dating until a year later when they had to do reshoots for the critically acclaimed movie.

She recalled in Vogue Australia that she realized he was "cute" and invited him over to a friend's house, where they had a drink and got to know one another, and Smith-Petersen taught her to salsa dance. The group then went swimming in a nearby bay, which she described as "really magic."

Keough knew early on that Smith-Petersen was The One for her.

"I don't see the future, but I know certain things are going to happen," Keough said on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. "Like when I met my husband, he came out of the gas station on our second date and I thought, 'I'm going to marry him and have kids with him.' I just knew. We didn't even say 'I love you' yet."

On their third date, they got tattoos together "for fun." Looks like they both knew early on that their love was permanent!
