Six months after getting caught making out with Kristen Stewart (22), Snow White and The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders (42) and his model wife Liberty Ross (32) are divorcing, according to Us Weekly.
The couple have been married for ten years and have two young kids. Before we assume the July’s cheating scandal was the real reason, sources quoted by Us claim she’s been unhappy for a long time. The article claims she gave up her modelling career for him, found the move to LA very isolating and that he was putting himself first.
Last July, Ross expressed her unhappiness in an interview to YOU Magazine saying:
“I went from the glamour of working with Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano to living on an isolated hilltop, with my husband gone most of the time. I romanticized domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time. But moving here and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated.”
So I guess this really comes as no surprise, but I do find it interesting that if they had troubles before, she’d wait this long after he cheated to file for divorce. Likely they tried to work it out first. Sounds like a mutual decision but still sad to see another couple split up.
Interestingly though, the other couple in this summer’s “scandal” – Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson – are still going strong since breaking up and getting back together.
Excellent point!
It’s bad on the professional front too. Kristen Stewart is in talks about making a sequel to this film. And he’s NOT going to be directing it. Looks like he lost out on all counts.
Sounds like the Huntsman in this relationship really was Sanders.
