After battling break-up rumours earlier this year, the two have reportedly called it quits. “With great sadness, we have decided to separate after 18 years of love and shared history,” the couple told the magazine in a joint statement. “We will continue to be supportive of each other in every way possible to move forward,” the statement added.
The two reportedly parted ways on a good note; realising that they were not interested in the same things, reported Hollywood Life. “So, they agreed that it was time to take a step back. The couple had not been seen together since January and the relationship just ran its course,” said a source.
Hamm, 44, and Westfeldt, 45, first met in 1997 and were considered a model couple in Hollywood. They stayed together as Hamm sky-rocketed to fame during his eight years on the hit AMC show Mad Men.
Hamm earned eight Emmy nominations for his dark portrayal as Don Draper on Mad Men, which chronicled the advertising world and shifts in American society during the 1960s. The series finale in May drew 3.3 million viewers. Westfeldt is most widely known for her writing and for starring in the independent movies Kissing Jessica Stein and Friends with Kids.
