Helena Bonham Carter and director Tim Burton have split after 13 years together, the actress' rep confirmed Tuesday to the Los Angeles Times.

The quirky ex-couple, who met while shooting "Planet of the Apes," actually "separated amicably earlier this year," the rep told People magazine, which first reported the news.

Burton, 56, and Bonham Carter, 48, are reportedly still friends and are co-parenting their two kids, 11-year-old Billy and 7-year-old Nell. They never married.

Their films together include "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," "Alice in Wonderland" and "Dark Shadows."

Burton's "Big Eyes" opens on Christmas. Bonham Carter's upcoming "Cinderella," with Lily James in the lead role, is set for a March release.

The "Harry Potter" alum plays Cinderella's fairy godmother.

It's terrible news - I thought that these two would last the distance.

I felt heart broken by this news. They were such a wonderful couple. And I hate to talk about it in a past tense. Gah!

I didn't even know they were together. No wonder she was in so much of his films.

Maybe she finally realized Burton's true love is Johnny Depp.

Me too. I liked that they were so different and quirky and so unlike the traditional Hollywood couples. They never courted convention and to me, they always represented visual eye candy. It's sad that they dissolved their union.
