Kate Bosworth & Michael Polish Have Announced Their Divorce

Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish have announced that they are splitting up and ending their relationship after nearly eight years of marriage.

Bosworth, who starred in the 2002 movie Blue Crush, took to Instagram to share the news of the couple’s split. She did this by posting a photo of her and her 50-year-old director husband kissing with a caption that included a quote from the film “Big Sur”, where they both met while making the movie.

She went on to write the following in her soul-baring post:

“The beginning is often the best part of love. Fireworks, magnets, rebellion — the attraction. The onset signals a wide open expanse of possibility. Split a burger with someone when you are falling in love, and you can die happily knowing this is your last meal. Buy a bottle of whiskey and share shots, pour me a waterfall. Play that perfect song on the jukebox and dance with someone you have known your whole life, though you met minutes ago.”

“Inherently we fear an ending. To lose what you have because you got what you wanted. To be attached to the expectation of the outcome. The great Unknown. What if we chose not to fear but instead, to love. If that most delicate and vulnerable last flicker to the flame became another type of furnace entirely. Perhaps this will sound strange to some, romantic to others. To us: this is truth.”

She concluded the lengthy addition as she revealed that their relationship was their greatest honor:

“Our hearts are full, as we have never been so enamored and deeply grateful for one another as we do in this decision to separate. Together, over the last ten years, Michael and I have chosen love, every time. We hold hands as tightly today as we entangled fingers on our wedding day. Our eyes look more deeply into one another, with more courage now. In the process of letting go, we have come to acknowledge that our love will never end. The connection does not simply disappear. The love deepens, the heart expands.”

“We know the 4 am calls are coming. Songs will be exchanged to communicate only what songs can do. We laugh as we plan for our next movie together and are excited to share our latest collaboration. We believe the most epic love stories are those which transcend expectation. Our greatest honor has been to experience love like this, and to continue to marvel at the beauty of love’s evolution. What happens when we reach the end of something and realize … we are just at the beginning. This is love. And we will drink that down. Kate + Michael`”

Elizabeth Chambers and Rita Wilson commented on the post by wishing them luck. We would also like to wish the two of them the best of luck in the future.

It’s hard to keep a relationship in showbusiness together, but they gave it a good run. It also sounds like they are going to be okay with this split.
