The Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard and her partner Guillaume Canet revealed on Friday that they had ended their longtime relationship.
Marion Cotillard, 49, and Guillaume Canet, 52, who had been together since 2007, recently announced their split in a brief statement.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Cotillard and Canet for comment but hasn’t yet received a response.
Though Cotillard has earned praise for her performances in many acclaimed French films, she has also become one of France’s most recognized stars globally, securing significant roles in major English-language movies such as Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” and “The Dark Knight Rises.”
She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the 2007 biopic La Vie en Rose, in which she portrayed the legendary French singer Édith Piaf.
Cotillard, seen attending the Berlin International Film Festival alone earlier this year, and Canet, who is celebrated in France as an actor, writer, and director, made up a prominent celebrity couple in their home country.

They announced that they had ended their relationship in a statement to the Agence France-Presse news agency in which they said they were publicly revealing their breakup ‘to avoid all speculation, rumors and risky interpretations.’
The former couple didn’t share why they were separating, but they said it was by ‘common accord’ and was with ‘mutual goodwill.’
The two had known been friendly for a decade before then, and they had appeared on screen together in the French-language film Love Me If You Dare from 2003.
Despite having apparently never tied the knot, Cotillard and Canet were forced to deny that they were married multiple times over the years.
Adding to the confusion was the Contagion actress habit of wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger, which her partner had given her as a present.
However, they clarified that it didn’t signify that they were engaged.
In 2011, they welcomed their first child, a son named Marcel, and they later welcomed a daughter named Louise in 2017.
In addition to a long-running romantic relationship, Cotillard and Canet continued a years-long professional collaboration.

Although several of the films he directed have received mixed reviews, his 2006 mystery thriller Tell No One, based on the novel of the same name by Harlan Coben, was a hit with viewers and critics alike.
Canet previously appeared in Danny Boyle’s 2000 film The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and he voiced the lead role of Lightning McQueen in the French version of Cars.
In 2018, he starred in the acclaimed French filmmaker Olivier Assayas’ dramedy Non-Fiction.
