The Previous rumors has come true (as they often do, unfortunately) that our favorite real-life
P&P couple,
Keira Knightley (25) &
Rupert Friend (29) have split after being
together for over 5 years. Various entertainment websites and gossip blogs are now reporting this including
People,
USA Today,
MSNBC, and
JustJared.com (read article below) to name a few. Apparently,
Keira's own father,
Will Knightley has
confirmed the split to the British tabloid, the
Sun. They previously co-starred in
Pride & Prejudice (2005) film as
Elizabeth Bennet and
Mr. Wickham and short films such as
The Suicide Brothers and
Steve.
The 25-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actress met Rupert on the set of 2005’s movie adaptation of Pride & Prejudice.
According to People, the couple broke up a few months ago. The split occurred shortly after Keira bought a house outside of Nice, France.
“Yes, they have broken up.” Keira’s father Will Knightley shared with the Sun. “But that’s the way things go, unfortunately. The only option is to get on with things.”
That's sad about
KK and
RF split especially since they been together for so long. But like
KK's
dad said, "that's the way things go," and that's life too no matter how long you've been together, if you're not meant to be...guess, it's time to go and move on. If they're meant to be together as a couple, somehow, someday, they'll get back together...they probably just needed a break, who knows? Too bad, I like them as a couple (and individually too), lol.
