Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton have announced their separation after two years together. The actress and the filmmaker released a joint statement through AFP, emphasizing mutual respect and affection as they end their high-profile relationship.
The glamorous couple, who had captured international attention with their romance, confirmed on Friday that they are parting ways. The announcement came via a heartfelt joint statement sent to the Agence France-Presse (AFP).
"It is with great respect and mutual affection that Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton have decided to separate," read the statement, offering no further details about the reasons behind their decision.
The news marks the end of a relationship that had fascinated both Hollywood and European cinema fans alike. Bellucci, 59, one of Italy’s most celebrated actresses, has built a career spanning decades, starring in iconic films such as Malèna, The Matrix Reloaded, and Spectre, where she became a Bond girl at 50 — the oldest in the franchise's history.
Tim Burton, 67, is one of Hollywood’s most distinctive filmmakers, celebrated for his gothic visual style and fantastical storytelling in classics like Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride, and the acclaimed Netflix series Wednesday. His long collaboration with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter defined much of his creative era.
Their separation comes just as both stars remain active professionally. While their romantic journey has come to an end, both emphasized in their statement the respect and lasting bond they share, suggesting an amicable split rather than a dramatic fallout.
