Keira splits with Rupert


And sad news for actress Keira Knightley this morning (but happy news for the majority of the male population) - Keira has separated from her long-term boyfriend Rupert Friend after five years together.
The 25-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean star is reportedly heartbroken following the split, despite their parting reportedly being mutual.
Keira's father Will Knightley confirmed their break-up to The Sun, saying: "Yes, they have broken up. But that's the way things go, unfortunately. The only option is to get on with things."
Mr Knightley, who still lives in their family home in Richmond, South West London, added: "They were together for quite a long time and it is always hard breaking up. She's focused on her work."
Keira met fellow actor and thespian 29-year-old Rupert back in 2005 on the set of Pride and Prejudice, for which she was later nominated for an Oscar before becoming the most bankable British actress in the States.
It's being claimed that the pair ended their relationship before Christmas, with a source adding to the tabloid: "Rupert hates the idea of being followed and photographed. Keira partially had to accept it because of her rising profile. It affected the harmony in the relationship. The pressure took its toll and both decided they should go their separate ways. They will remain life-long friends."
Keira can be seen on the silver screen next in Never Let Me Go and is reportedly auditioning for a lead role up against Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel in The Dark Knight Rises.
