Announcing their split after 22 years of marriage, Colin and his estranged wife insisted they would 'remain united' in their love for their sons.

The actor, who won an Oscar in 2011 for his performance in The King's Speech, remained at the family's £4 million family home in Chiswick, West London, while Livia has spent much of the time since then back in Italy.

Their separation came after Livia, 52, admitted an affair with a childhood friend. Colin also has a son with Meg Tilly, his co-star in the film Valmont.
