Keira Knightley "never felt more useless" than during her charity trip to Chad.
The newly-engaged actress travelled to the poverty-stricken country in March for UNICEF. She was stunned when she saw the conditions that children were living in and was particularly moved by one visit to a rehabilitation centre. There she met four-year-old Idris, who contracted polio when he was just 18-months-old. The boy is paralysed from the waist down, but has been given leg braces to help improve his mobility.
Knightley's publicist, Sara Keene, said there would be no further details.
People Magazine reports the couple has been together for about a year, following Knightley's split from actor Rupert Friend.
Knightley appeared in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies and other films including "Atonement," "Pride & Prejudice," and "Love Actually." She also appears as Anna Karenina in the upcoming movie of the same name.
Klaxons won the 2007 Mercury Music Prize in Britain for their debut album, "Myths of the Near Future," which featured the hit "Golden Skans." Their latest album, "Surfing the Void," was released in 2010.
