They have new partners, but remain good friends and proud parents to 10-year-old twins Xavier and Honor.

Contrary to the impression given in our recent articles, Tilda and John have in fact never been married and have not been a couple for over five years.

Says a friend:"Instead, they are simply the best of friends who have stayed together as parents, while moving on in other areas of their lives. None of the persons involved wish to make any further public statement about their private lives."

We are happy to clarify matters.
