Two years later, the duo headed for splitsville and Arterton spoke about their separation for the first time in 2013, confessing to Marie Claire magazine: "It was a wonderful time and I have nothing bad to say about it. Even if they don't last relationships can enrich your life in some way and then you move on to the next part - it's all part of the process of living."

Arterton is now seeing French assistant director Franklin Ohanessian, with whom she confirmed romance in 2014.
