In a public statement, Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter announced they split up earlier this year, after 13 years together.
It seems that they have been living apart for over a year now, and according to Page 6 they have both moved on.
“Tim and Helena have been living separate lives for [more than] a year, and since they separated, they have both had other lovers. The separation announcement was made saying they’d split earlier this year, but they have been living apart for much longer.”
Rumors of the famous director having cheated on the actress began when a photo of Burton kissing a blonde surfaced. The couple both claimed the picture was taken out of context, and they were at a family gathering.
The pair met on the set of Planet of the Apes. They also worked together on Sweeney Todd and Alice in Wonderland.
In the U.K. they earned the nickname “Mr. and Mrs. Mad Hatter” after they bought side-by-side houses and created a communal living space between them. They kept separate bedrooms due to issues with her talking and him snoring.
While reports have stated that Bonham Carter is devastated by the split, the couple took a public stroll with their young children on Christmas.
