The former couple met while filming 2001's 'Planet of the Apes.' They dated until 2014 and agreed to joint custody after their split.
Since Nell and Billy were born, Bonham Carter and Burton have made it a point to keep their children out of the spotlight.
In October, Nell and Billy made a rare public appearance with their dad at the opening of The World of Tim Burton exhibition at The Design Museum in London.

In 2020, Bonham Carter spoke to The Guardian about how their kids had finally gotten used to their family dynamic.
'It's taken us some time to adjust, but I think it's really very good now,' she shared. 'And the kids are fine, they get to have a dual life.'

'At first it's a horrible thing to get used to, not having your children around,' the 'Enola Holmes' actress said about sharing custody. 'The cruelty of divorce is extraordinary. But then you get to a point where you're like, Oh, I get this week off! Some parts are very much to be recommended.'

On the 'Therapy Works' podcast in Dec. 2022, Bonham Carter reflected on her 'painful' breakup with Burton, which she referred to as a 'divorce' despite the exes never marrying.
'It was a long-lasting thing. That's the other thing, it's not that finite,' she stated. 'It never ends. Even if you divorce somebody, it's a kind of marriage if you have children with them. The relationship has to change.'

'Part of the grieving is letting go and it takes a longer time than people expect,' she added.
Before dating Burton, Bonham Carter had a relationship with Kenneth Branagh while the British filmmaker was married to Emma Thompson. Branagh and Thompson divorced in 1995, and Branagh and Bonham Carter stayed together for five years until they separated in 1999.
The 'Edward Scissorhands' director, for his part, has been dating actress Monica Bellucci since 2023. She starred in his 2024 horror comedy 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.'

Chris Martin defends keeping Coldplay kiss cam in shows after Astronomer CEO ‘debacle'
Chris Martin isn't changing a thing. During a 'Music of the Spheres World Tour' stop at Craven Park in Kingston upon Hull, England, on Monday, the Coldplay frontman joked about last month's Jumbotron 'debacle' that outed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR exec Kristin Cabot. 'We are so happy to be here,' Martin, 48, began during the Aug. 18 concert, per NME. 'Many of you have written signs. So, I'll take some time to try and read some signs. Then we'll see what happens.' 10 Chris Martin performs during Coldplay's Music of the Spheres world tour at Craven Park Stadium in Kingston upon Hull, England, on August 18, 2025.
