Evan Rachel Wood Splits From Jaime Bell After 19 Months of Marriage
Evan Rachel Wood and Jaime Bell announced Wednesday that they are ending their marriage after 19 months together.
The pair married in October 2012 and are parents to a 10-month-old son whose name was never announced. A rep for the actors confirmed the separation.
"Evan Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell have decided to separate," the rep told Us Weekly. "They both love and respect one another and will of course remain committed to co-parenting their son. This is a mutual decision and the two remain close friends."

Furthermore, a source close to Wood and Bell said, "They love each other so much but it just wasn't right."
Within an hour of the announcement, Wood notified her Twitter followers that she was taking a "break" from the social media site.
"Twitter break for awhile... to be continued," she wrote.
However, days before the split became public, Wood hinted on Twitter that all was not well.
"It comes in waves," she wrote on May 26 before adding, "Silence without an explanation is open to interpretation. So say what you feel before it is misunderstood."
Wood also added a cryptic message that read, "Vocal rest. Don't punish people for things they cant control."
Alternately, Bell deactivated his Twitter account recently. The split arrives just shy of the couple's two-year wedding anniversary, and very close to their son's first birthday. Back in July 2013, Bell praised his "warrior" wife for delivering the child "naturally and peacefully."
Meanwhile, 26-year-old Wood is best known for her role in HBO's "Mildred Pierce" as well as in films "Thirteen," "The Ides of March" and "Charlie Countryman," among others. Her estranged husband Bell is best known for his roles in films such as "Billy Elliot," "King Kong" and "Jumper."
