Keira Knightley’s bond with longtime boyfriend Rupert Friend over?

[HMG Celebrity News] – In a business where most relationships wouldn’t outlast fresh milk, ‘Pirates Of The ­Caribbean’ star Keira Knightley’s five-year bond with fellow actor Rupert Friend had been the exception. But reports now suggest they too are in trouble.

The rumors began when 29-year old Rupert attended the premiere of the English National Ballet’s ‘The Nutcracker’ in London last week. He brought his mother Caroline to the show, but Keira, 25, was nowhere in sight.

“We all wondered where Keira was, because it was a magical show,’ a fellow guest tells the Mail. “But Rupert offered no explanation.”

Also in attendance were Kate Moss, Sadie Frost and Natascha McElhone, who all hugged and kissed Rupert during the interval. Spies say he seemed happy enough, but the signs are that he and Keira are over were all there.

Rupert didn’t start acting until he was 23, but he made up for lost time: His first movie was 2004′s ‘Libertine’ where he kissed Johnny Depp – and the reaction by Johnny’s fans made his name. He met Kiera in 2005 while filming ‘Pride & Prejudice,’ and they’d been close since Christmas that year.

And while those who make such things their obsession say the pair already broke up, the people who might actually know – Keira’s reps – don’t seem ready to talk;

“We don’t comment on personal matters.” says her agent.

So the word is they’re over, but no-one will confirm. What do you think? Is Rupert a free agent or is this just idle chatter?…
