January 13th, 2011 - 8:07 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Jan 13 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Keira Knightley and her boyfriend of five years, Rupert Friend has split.
The British actress has been with Friend since they met on the set of the 2005 movie, Pride and Prejudice. Due to differences in their perspectives, the pair decided to end the relationship.
Keira’s father, Will Knightley has confirmed the split to the British newspaper, The Sun.
Knightley told the newspaper that, “Yes, they have broken up, but that’s the way things go, unfortunately. The only option is to get on with things. They were together for quite a long time and it is always hard breaking up. She’s focused on her work.”

The source said that Keira’s growing popularity is the reason why the pair is breaking up but they will stay good friends after that.
