KATE BECKINSALE & MICHAEL SHEEN

-

TOGETHER FOR 8 YEARS (1995-2003)

COSY Instagram pictures, declaratio­ns of love for one another and frequent family outings with their daughter Lily . . . it would be easy to think that actors Kate, 45, and Michael, 50, were still an item. Having met on stage in 1995, when Kate was 21, they moved in together soon afterwards and worked on several joint projects, including an audiobook of Romeo And Juliet. Kate gave birth to their daughter in early 1999, but later admitted she was ‘embarrasse­d’ that Michael never proposed. They separated in 2003, shortly after filming their movie Underworld — whose director, Len Wiseman, Kate would marry the following year. But the split was amicable from the start, with Kate describing Sheen as ‘really dear, close family . . . I love him a lot.’ Both were firm friends with their expartners’ other halves — Wiseman and actress Sarah Silverman — although those relationsh­ips are also now over. More recently, Kate has been dating U.S. comic Pete Davidson, 25. Discussing her and Sheen’s closeness in 2016, Kate said: ‘It’s so normal for us. We have been not together far longer than we were ever together.’ EX-FACTOR: ❤❤❤❤
