They’ve been happily married for four years, and raise daughter Edie, two, together.

Model of the moment Kaia Gerber and fellow catwalk queen Edie Campbell were among those to storm the runway at the stunning, forest-themed presentation, which saw Le Grand Palais transformed into an elegant woodland.

It looks to be a busy year ahead for working mother Keira, with five movies – Colette, The Aftermath, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Berlin, I Love You and Official Secrets – due for release in 2018 alone. 

The actress has previously revealed motherhood has helped her put everything in perspective, and made her even more grateful that she is in a position where she is able to work and raise her daughter. 

She said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph newspaper in 2015: ‘I think motherhood puts everything into perspective, I really do.

‘I’m very grateful to become a mother while doing something this unbelievably difficult, because honestly the worst that could happen is that you fail.

‘You try your best and I’ve been really lucky that I have had the opportunity to be working and finding interesting things, and working with interesting people while being a mom at the same time. 

‘Ultimately as long as my kid is all right, everything is fine.’

Keira has made no secret of the fact that she wouldn’t want to be a stay-at-home mother to Edie.
