Actor Colin Firth has announced he has split from his wife Livia but said they remain 'united in their love for their children' almost two years after it emerged she had an affair with her childhood friend.
The 59-year-old Love Actually star confirmed the news in a statement today, and insisted he would maintain a 'close friendship' with Livia.
The couple have been married for 22 years, and have two sons, Luca and Matteo.
A statement from their publicists today said: 'Colin and Livia Firth have separated. They maintain a close friendship and remain united in their love for their children.
'They kindly ask for privacy. There will be no further comment'.
Their split comes after it was revealed in March last year that Mrs Firth was alleged to have had a year-long affair with Italian journalist Marco Brancaccia.

Man, I’ve had to sit through every movie this guy has ever made since my wife really had a ‘thing’ for him. Even she said, “what the heck is going on, why on earth would a woman cheat on Colin Firth.”
I thought of a hundred really funny comments I could have made, but after 40 years of marriage I’ve learned that sometimes the best thing to do is just shut up.

Probably the School of Hard Knocks
Perhaps at some time you will achieve understanding.
It’s a mystery to me.
Yay! He’s on the market again. Too bad I’m married.
Colin Firth. Swoon.
Have you looked him up yet?
“Probably the School of Hard Knocks”
And the fact that it allows me to have my favorite female stars as well.
While I thought up a few funnies, the truth is, the whole thing kind of surprises me as well. This guy was the super hot guy star thing back then. I figured he would have been married to a real knockout. Makes you think.
