Actor Ralph Fiennes and his life partner, actress Francesca Annis are now to separate after a 11-years relationship, according to what their lawyers said on Wednesday. There have been many rumors about Ralph having an affair with a Romanian singer that lives in London, so Annis might have been overwhelmed by all those speculations about her husband.

"Ms Annis confirms that she and Ralph Fiennes are to separate," her lawyers said in a statement, without providing too much information. The actress also said she was going to sue the "Daily Mail" newspaper for defamation and invasion of privacy after carrying details of the couple's relationship.

Although 61-years-old Francesca previously said that the age gap between her and 43-years-old Fiennes was never an impediment for their love, their separation makes you thing if this was really true…

11 years ago, the couple met in a professional context. While Fiennes was playing Hamlet and Annis was playing his mother Gertrude on the London stage, the two stars fell in love and have happily lived till now. The scandal involving the 31-years-old Romanian singer Cornelia Crisan might be the sparkle that stared the fire, but nothing has been confirmed so far neither by Ralph, nor by Francesca…

It's always interesting that people speculate that age was the reason for a breakup if a man is younger than the woman. People of similar ages break up every day; guess you can't use age as an excuse there, huh?!

Does anyone ever break up before they start a new relationship?

yes, I know of one such couple who broke up on the verge of starting a relationship as the woman wanted her children to be christians and the man wanted them to be muslims

age gap never works, really. sooner or later it will catch up, especially if the man is older than the woman.

Apalling behavior she is well rid of him this just allows him to become an even bigger lathario what is next for this man,all women if you see him coming in your direction just run head for the hills untill he is out of your sight. Cunning, crafty and manipulative I am not sure that he has real emotions. What a pervert.
