AceShowbiz - Anna Maxwell Martin has split from her theatre director husband Roger Michell.
The 42-year-old British actress, who starred in Armando Iannucci's latest movie "The Personal History of David Copperfield", had been with Roger, 63, since they met when he cast her in a U.K. National Theatre production in 2003.
However, revealing she has now split from her husband, Anna tells Britain's You magazine, "I groomed him to fall in love with me. But you know, we aren't together anymore."
"Our marriage has ended and we've been separated for quite some time. I haven't really spoken about it because it isn't fair on all the people involved."
"There are four children to think about. It's taken an enormous amount of time, but we are all getting through it in a healthy way."
Anna and Roger have two girls together, Maggie, 10, and Nancy, 7, while Roger has two other children from his previous marriage with actress Kate Buffery.
Asked how she is coping on her own, Anna, who plays a single mum in BBC sitcom "Motherland", says, "I'm definitely not a single working mother. Roger is amazing. I feel incredibly supported."
"He is great and we also have a brilliant nanny and my mum helps out with the girls, so all is fine. Roger was and is very special in my life... When I met him he felt like my person, although things don't always work out. But you get on with life."
