Miles Teller pulled off a heartfelt holiday surprise for his wife, Keleigh Sperry Teller, gifting her a replica of her wedding dress destroyed by the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year. As Keleigh reveled in the moment, attention is focused on how she and the actor first met.

In the Nov. 10 episode of SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, Miles Teller revealed his first meeting with Keleigh, as well as the number of times he'd tried — and failed — to get her number.

"It was Grammys week in LA. We were both at this Black Keys party. I just saw her and visually, I was like, 'Well, that's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.' "

The Two Night Stand star continued:

"And I was very confident at that age. Very overconfident. I hit on her and it I think it went OK. It went well enough. I went outside and I thought I bombed kind of my opening to her, and then I saw her come outside and like, look for me. I got back and then I started dancing with her."

Miles Teller added that at the time, he attempted to steal a kiss from Keleigh, narrating:

"I tried to kiss her, and she's like, 'No, I just met you.' But I thought she gave me the look like, 'This is OK.'"

The rejection, however, didn't stop the actor from shooting his shot. When he attempted again to get her phone number, he was rejected — at first.

"She said no. But then I went outside after she left and like 30 minutes after she left, she was still waiting for her car valet. So I put my coat on her said, 'Oh, you look cold.' Which I thought was a cheeseball move. She liked that s**t. And then I got her number."

When did Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry Teller get married?

Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry Teller began dating not long after, and got engaged in 2017. They tied the knot in 2019 in a Catholic ceremony in Maui, Hawaii.

As of writing, the couple doesn't have kids, but they are proud parents to their French bulldog, Bugsy.

In a new TikTok clip, shared on Dec. 27, Keleigh is seen unwrapping a huge red box while Miles can be heard taking the video. When she removed the square lid, she lifted a suit garment bag and asked Miles if it was her wedding dress, to which he said yes.

Keleigh Teller takes off the cover and is seen visibly misty-eyed while admiring the replica.

In the caption, she expressed her joy upon receiving the heartfelt gift, writing:

"Miles had my wedding dress that burned in the fire remade. so happy. Merry Christmas everyone!"

The Los Angeles wildfires that occurred in January this year destroyed most of the Teller family's property, including Keleigh's wedding gown. But with The Spectacular Now actor's latest gesture, it indeed looks like a spectacular Christmas for the couple.
