Miles Teller shared an update on how he and his wife Keleigh are faring following the loss of their home in the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this month.
The actor told Extra TV on Friday, January 31 while he promoted his latest film project, The Gorge, that he and Keleigh were taking things one step at a time.
“We’re doing okay,” Miles, 37, told the outlet. “This is, honestly, this is a nice distraction. It’s just tricky.”
The actor also praised his wife for her part in helping them move forward as they navigate the loss and starting a new chapter.
“I think every day you’re just kind of figuring things out a little more each day, and I’m lucky that I have a really wonderful life partner to go through this with,” he said.
Keleigh, 32, confirmed the couple’s home was no longer standing following the devastating wildfires via an Instagram post shared in the earlier hours of January 10.
The Instagram post featured a photo of the couple’s home taken as the couple were evacuating the neighborhood. A second image showed what remained when they returned – mostly charred rubble and ash.

“To everyone reaching out I can’t thank you enough, your kind hearts have meant the world, I’ll never forget them,” she wrote in the post. “Community has come out stronger than I could imagine, Pacific Palisades I love you beyond measure you are a little slice of heaven, we will come back stronger than ever.”
She added, “If you’re in the LA area PLEASE get out if you can. I wish I grabbed my wedding dress .. wish I did a lot different but it doesn’t matter, stay safe, get out. 🥹🥹💔💔 there are no words. THANK YOU to the first responders fighting.”
Miles and Keleigh tied the knot in Hawaii in September 2019 after getting engaged during a safari in Africa in August 2017. The couple has been together since May 2013.
During an appearance on Live With Kelly and Ryan in October 2017, Miles shared details of the proposal.
“I had our guide early in the morning tie a rose to a tree, [and we] walked up to this nice, scenic vista having coffee. She looked over and saw a rose and thought somebody had died. Which, whatever,” the Divergent star explained of his proposal. “I said … ‘Today was the last day you woke up as my girlfriend.’”
