Keira Knightley & Rupert Friend split now confirmed

Posted by Le on Thursday, January 13, 2011

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.

Looks like three of our Bennet girls are now single and available. Carey Mulligan also broke up with Wall Street: Money Never Sleep co-star and boyfriend Shia LeBeauf sometime after the movie was released in theaters last year (September). Rosamund Pike, of of course, had her engagement called-off at the last minute from P&P director Joe Wright, who is now married to someone else and a father-to-be. Only Talulah Riley got married last year (September 2010) and Jena Malone has a (non-celeb) boyfriend she has mentioned in her recent interviews.
