Guy Pearce's secret split with Game of Thrones star
Aussie actor Guy Pearce and Carice van Houten, the mother of his son, have split.
The Game of Thrones actress took to Instagram to confirm their split, and that the pair have remained close as they co-parent.
“I don’t usually engage in discussions about my personal life, but because of a number of conclusions in the media last week regarding my relationship with Guy, I wanted to make something clear,” she shared on her Instagram story alongside a photo of the pair.
“He and I are great friends and love each other very much, but we haven’t been a ‘couple’ for years.
“I am, however, very proud to say we are in a wonderful partnership raising the true love of our lives - our beautiful son. And his hamster. The end.”
Rumours of their split first began last month, when Pearce revealed during an interview that his first wife Kate Mestitz was the "greatest love of my life" but now that love is for his son.
"My ex-wife, Kate, was the greatest love of my life, but I’ve moved on from her now and the greatest love of my life is my child, Monte," he told The Guardian.
Pearce and van Houten first started dating in 2015, just months after the actor split from his ex-wife Mestitz.
A year later, Pearce and van Houten went on to have a child together named Monte.
