Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton split after 13 years and two kids together, rep confirms

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have split after over a decade together. Although they were never married, they have two kids; Billy, 11, and Nell, 7.

Carter and Burton first met in 2001 when he directed her in Planet of the Apes. They went on to work together several more times in films like Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Dark Shadows and dated for 13 years.

A rep for Carter told People they "separated amicably earlier this year and have continued to be friends and co-parent their children.”

The rep continued, “We would ask that you respect their privacy and that of their children during this time."

Back in 2010, they revealed they kept two different homes and slept in different beds.

"We just have two houses knocked together because mine was too small. We see as much of each other as any couple, but our relationship is enhanced by knowing we have our personal space to retreat to,” she told the U.K.'s Radio Times at the time, Huffington Post reports. “It's not enforced intimacy. It's chosen, which is quite flattering, if you can afford it.”
