Naomi, Heath: It's Over
Naomi Watts isn't getting The Ring, but at least she won't have to worry about Le Divorce.
She and her fellow acting Aussie actor beau, Heath Ledger, have broken up after 16 months together.
Ledger rep Susan Patricola confirmed to E! News Live Tuesday that the pair had parted but declined to comment further. However, Kate Ledger, Heath's sister and publicist, issued a statement from Australia indicating that the split was work-related.
"Heath and Naomi have made the decision to go their separate ways," she said. "At this time in their lives, both are busy pursuing careers, which are taking them in different directions. They remain close friends."
The former twosome have been living apart of late; Watts has been shacking up in New York, filming the thriller, Stay, with Ewan McGregor, while Ledger has been working in Prague on The Brothers Grimm with Matt Damon.
The two first met on the set of the Aussie outlaw film Ned Kelly, where real-life sparks flew after the two played onscreen love interests. Though Ledger has been known to date older women, having previously dated Heather Graham, 33, the 10-year age difference between him and Watts made them popular tabloid fodder--the It Couple, Down Under division.
Suspicions about their relationship's well-being arose after Ledger, 24, was nowhere to be seen at Watts' recent 35th birthday bash in New York, where celeb pals Nicole Kidman and Lenny Kravitz showed up to wish Watts well.
Ledger first arrived on the Hollywood scene in 1999's 10 Things I Hate About You, with Julia Stiles, and moved on to next-big-thing status following his role as Mel Gibson's son in 2000's The Patriot. Watts got her big break in David Lynch's eccentric mystery Mulholland Drivein 2001 and went on to star in 2002's hit thriller The Ring and this summer's Merchant-Ivory production Le Divorce.
Recently, Watts' career has been progressing at breakneck speed. One of Hollywood's busiest actresses, her upcoming projects include I Heart Huckabees, The Ring 2, We Don't Live Here Anymore and The Assassination of Richard Nixon. She's also the top choice of director Peter Jackson for the female lead in his upcoming remake of King Kong.
Ledger's career, on the other hand, seems to be foundering. He bombed the box office with last year's The Four Feathers, and his latest film, The Order, released in early September, was panned by critics and quickly vanished from theaters.
