Colin Firth and Wife Livia Spend New Year's Eve Together Amid Split

Colin Firth is starting the new decade with his ex, Livia.

“To your amazing friendship and understanding for each other… Happy/ Healthy 2020 to everyone!!?,” one user wrote.

“Happy new year beautiful family !! God bless you!!❤️,” another chimed in.

In December,the two announced their plans to separateafter 22 years of marriage.

“They maintain a close friendship and remain united in their love for their children,” a rep said in a statement about the pair.

The announcement came almost two years after the actor, 59, and Livia, 50, revealed that shehad a relationshipwith another man while the two were briefly separated.

Livia accused Italian journalist Marco Brancaccia of stalking her after their 11-month relationship ended and, together with Firth, sued him in an Italian court for carrying out a “campaign of harassment.” (Brancaccia denied the accusations, and the case was settled out of court in July 2018.)

A day after news broke of their split, Livia shared a hilarious video of herself ducking for cover under a desk while wearing a white hard hat. She jokingly grimaced as she lowered herself out of view.

Firth and Livia married in 1997 after first meeting on the 1996 set of the BBC dramaNostromo. The two later moved to the Italian region of Umbria and welcomed two sons. Firth has since become an Italian citizen.
