Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville has confirmed his split from wife Lulu after 25 years of marriage. The news comes just days after Bonneville attended the wedding of his co-star Michelle Dockery alone and without his wedding ring.
A source close to the couple told The Sun that Lulu is "heartbroken" by the split and feels that their 25 years of marriage "count for nothing."
"Lulu is very upset," the source said. "She feels like all those years together have been for nothing. She's not sure what went wrong, but she's devastated."
The source added that Bonneville has been "away from home filming a lot this year" and that he has "lost a bit of weight and looked trim, tanned and relaxed."
Bonneville and Lulu have one son together, Felix, who is 20 years old.
The couple's split is likely to be a major news story, given Bonneville's popularity and the high-profile nature of their marriage. It is also likely to generate a lot of interest on YouTube, as fans of Downton Abbey and Bonneville himself will be eager to learn more about the breakup.
