The 'Top Gun: Maverick' actor tied the knot with Keleigh Sperry in September 2019 and while they know a lot of couples have felt the strain of spending so much time together due to the coronavirus pandemic, they feel stronger than ever.

Miles told the new issue of Men's Health magazine: "I'm with her now from when I wake up to the moment I go to bed.

"We have a lot of friends whose relationships got put under a magnifying glass during these times, but we are really great. Once you get married and you make that ultimate commitment, life is just a lot less stressful. You just know that person is always going to be there."

One of the things the couple have enjoyed during quarantine was improving their garden.

The 33-year-old actor said: "Keleigh and I both worked on our backyard and did some landscaping. We planted a lemon tree, hydrangeas and a rose garden.

"Since we were staring at our backyard a whole lot more than usual, we wanted to add colour."

And the 'Whiplash' actor has been cooking wings for his wife as often as possible.

He said: "I used to carry along this deep fryer when we first met from place to place. Now I grill them. It seems like I'm always on a diet."

Miles proposed to Keleigh while they were on vacation in South Africa in 2017 but she was initially confused by the rose and note he'd left her in a tree out on the savanna.

He explained: "She thought at first it was a marker where someone got killed or something. Then she read the note.”

The note had that day's date on, as well as the date they had started dating.

He continued: "I said, ‘That was the first day I asked you to be my girlfriend, and today is the last day.’

"I found my person. I feel really lucky.”
