Watts, 47, and Schreiber, 48, said that "the best way forward
for us as a family is to separate as a couple."
"It is with great love, respect and friendship in our hearts
that we look forward to raising our children together and
exploring this new phase of our relationship," they said, asking
for privacy for their two young sons.
Their separation follows on the heels of Hollywood power couple
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's sudden divorce announcement last
week. [nL2N1BW106]
Australian actress Watts, who has been nominated or two Oscars,

dated Australian actor Heath Ledger.
Watts and Schreiber star together in the upcoming boxing drama
"The Bleeder." Schreiber will also star on Broadway in "Les
Liaisons Dangereuses," opening next month, in which he plays a
promiscuous Frenchman.
