Naomi and Heath split

13 April 2012

On-again, off-again Aussie star couple Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts have finally called it a day.

The couple, who met on the set of Ned Kelly in 2002, had already split up once before in September last year, but reconciled.

It was thought that Ledger — who is ten years younger than 21 Grams actress Watts, 35 — had not been able to curb his partying ways.

He was recently spotted out with Lost in Translation star Scarlett Johanssen, and was also spied openly kissing actress Winona Ryder.

The split was confirmed by Watts' publicist Emma Cooper yesterday.

Both actors have plenty of work lined up to forget their failed romance, however: British-born Watts is commencing work on The Ring 2 and Ledger is about to start on Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain with Jake Gyllenhaall.
