One couple gets married, another splits up.

Following a News of the World report alleging an affair between Elizabeth Hurley and cricketer Shane Warne, the 45-year-old Method star announced on Twitter Sunday that she and her husband Arun Nayar have separated.

"Not a great day. For the record, my husband Arun & I separated a few months ago," Hurley wrote on her Twitter page. "Our close family & friends were aware of this." 

The tabloid report included pictures and video of Hurley and Warne kissing, and alleged that the pair spent the night together last week at London's Bentley Hotel. 

Hurley and her Indian textile heir hubby began dating in 2003, and later wed in March 2007 in two over-the-top ceremonies, one in a palace in Jodhpur, India and the other in a castle in England.

Hurley has an 8-year-old son Damian with millionaire ex Stephen Bing—once the source of a public paternity drama—and famously dated Hugh Grant for 13 years, which occasionally made news, too.
