Italian film actress Monica Bellucci has split from director Tim Burton after two years of dating.
On the 19th (local time), foreign outlets Page Six and Agence France-Presse reported that Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci have ended their two-year relationship.
In a joint statement sent to AFP, the two said, "We decided to end the relationship with deep respect and deep affection for each other."
Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton secretly dated for several months in 2023, sparking romance rumors, but they did not make an official statement about it. Later, in June 2023, Monica Bellucci acknowledged the relationship in an interview with Elle France, saying, "What I can say, above all, is that I am happy to have met that man."
Monica Bellucci said of her meeting with Tim Burton that it was "one of those meetings that rarely happen in life," adding, "I know that man, I love him, and I respect him very much. Now meeting him as a director will begin another adventure."
Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton had been friends for a long time, and it is reported that they began dating after Bellucci presented Burton with a lifetime achievement award at the Lumière Film Festival held in Lyon, France, in October 2022.
Monica Bellucci was married to actor Vincent Cassel from 1999 to 2013 and has two daughters. Tim Burton split from actress Helena Bonham Carter in 2014 after 13 years together and has a son and a daughter. Helena Bonham Carter previously described her split from Tim Burton as "a very painful divorce."
