Kaya Scodelario has split from her husband Benjamin Walker after eight years of marriage.
The actress, 31, reportedly secretly split from the actor, 41, last year, but said that they remain ‘the best of friends’.
The couple tied the knot in December 2015 and share a seven-year-old son and two-year-old daughter together.
In a joint statement to The Sun, they said: ‘Some time ago Kaya and Ben made the joint decision to end their marriage but continue to co-parent lovingly whilst remaining the best of friends.
‘They ask that their privacy as well as that of their children’s remain respected as they continue to move forward as a family.’

The couple have not been seen in public together for over a year and Kaya last posted a snap of them together on her Instagram at a wedding in September 2022.
Last week, the Skins star attended the Vanity Fair EE Rising Star party, where she was seen to have ditched her wedding ring.
She has since jetted off to a sun-soaked trip to the Maldives with a group of female friends.
Taking to her Instagram on Tuesday, she shared a snap of the trio posing by the clear sea and wrote: ‘Feeling so lucky to go through life with these amazing friends.’
Hinting at her marriage breakdown, Kaya added: ‘Normalize going to ‘romantic’ locations with your mates instead…’
Kaya and Benjamin met while filming The King’s Daughter back in 2014, when the Maze Runner star was 22 and the The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power actor was 31.
After a whirlwind romance, they became engaged in December 2014 and tied the knot the following December, both adopting the surname Scodelario-Davis.
Benjamin was previously married to Meryl Streep’s daughter Mamie Gummer, from 2011 until their split in March 2013.
