We’re saddened to hear that The O.C. actress Rachel Bilson and her partner Hayden Christensen have split up after almost ten years together.
The couple have one daughter together, Briar Rose, who is almost three years old.
The 36-year-olds first met on the set of Jumper in 2008 and got engaged that December after a whirlwind romance. They ended their engagement in August 2010 but got back together after three months apart.
Sadly, this time around it appears their relationship has ended for good, with a source telling US magazine: “They are completely officially done”.
The source added: “She’s full-time back in L.A. He’s in Toronto. They’ve been on the outs for a couple of months”.
The couple were last photographed together in June on the set of Hayden’s new movie Little Italy, in Toronto and according to reports, they sold their home in Sherman Oaks, California, in April.
In 2014, they welcomed their baby girl. Her unusual name is a reference to Beauty and the Beast, as Rachel is a big Disney fan.
"There’s a Disney reference there I suppose," Hayden explained in a TV interview in August 2015. "The original Sleeping Beauty is called Briar Rose. Rachel — we both love Disney — but Rachel especially was very keen on the name”.
Speaking about this daughter in an interview with E! News, the proud dad gushed “I have this little angel in my life now and Rachel and I are so thrilled.
"We don't sleep as much as we used to, but it's all so worth it”.
In April of this year, the couple appeared to be still on track with Rachel taking to her Instagram page to share a photo of her partner to celebrate his birthday.
The mum-of-one wrote: “Happy Birthday Handsome, we love you so much #10yearsandcounting #superdaddy #birthdayboy”.
We hope the couple can remain on good terms as they raise their daughter together.
