Us Weekly Mobile - Celebrity News - Liberty Ross, Rupert Sanders Divorce: She Couldn't "Get Over" His Kristen Stewart Affair

January 26, 2013

After one of the most trying (and public) years of her life, Liberty Ross is ready to liberate herself from husband Rupert Sanders. As revealed on Friday Jan. 25, the British model, 34, filed for divorce from the director, 41, after ten years of marriage and two kids (Skyla, 7, and Tennyson, 5). The move (Ross asks for joint custody of the kids, spousal support and attorney's fees) isn't exactly shocking: Despite several amicable meet ups with the kids, the twosome had appeared to be mostly estranged ever since Sanders was caught (in exclusive Us Weekly photos) having a midsummer fling with Kristen Stewart, the 22-year-old star of his Hollywood blockbuster Snow White and the Huntsman.

"This was a long time coming," one source tells Us Weekly, explaining that, in the aftermath of the shocking tryst, Sanders "did want to try to repair the relationship and didn't want a divorce."

Ross, who picked up her life and career in London to move with her husband to Hollywood a couple years ago, "was more than a little upset," adds a second insider. "They gave it a shot for the kids, [but] she was just so angry . . .she's the kind of person who wouldn't really ever get over it."

The stunning brunette, who walked in Alexander Wang's NYC Fashion Show last fall, hinted at changes to come in a confessional video series for the designer. "[This year was] the end of some things and the beginning of something else," she continued. "Beginnings and endings are always really exciting."

By contrast, in the wake of her betrayal (and a very public apology) Stewart mended things with her longtime love Robert Pattinsonl;** although the British hunk is now filming in Australia, the Twilight costars were most recently spotted together at a private Golden Globes afterparty in Hollywood Jan. 13.

@Salem, I appreciate your comment back on mine. I just feel none of this makes any sense at all. Why would someone want to possibly ruin their career, relationship with a guy who worships the ground they walk on (Rob) and breakup a family?! I just don't see it. I don't condone cheating at all. I've found it very amazing how much hell and blame Kristen has taken (yes true she is the more recognized of the two) over all this and the way it came out (all of a sudden). Liberty also seems to have played the victim to such an extreme, this whole scandal had never range true for me. I've been completely repulsed by Rupert, disappointed in Kristen (if all this is true) I've also wanted to be sympathetic to Liberty but I can't, her actions throughout this don't feel right. I've known people who've gone through this and they've worked it out but they didn't behave the way Liberty has since the beginning either. It's all just too near for me. Again appreciate your post :)

Bella S: if it makes you feel better I abhor them both with equal abandon. I find him to be a bit creepier if only for the fact he's almost twice her age and has kids and wife. But they are equally trashy. Yes, I feel publicly she's taking more heat because frankly, she's the more recognizable of the two AND she's such a cold fish in public no one has ever really warmed to her. She's only become more friendly/smiley in the wake of all this, which in turn, makes her a phony. But I agree with you she is getting more blame publicly and it really should be more equal. Hopefully, his embarrassment will be re-hashed again with the news his wife is giving him the boot.:)

Reading some comments to this story is amazing! The bulk of the blame has been put on Rupert Sanders, REALLY?! The bulk of the blame has gone to Kristen. She's been called every name in the book,etc. The fact that Liberty has chosen (as far as US says) to divorce Rupert, Rupert chose to be stupid as much as Kristen. I can say one thing, to all that call Liberty strong for leaving Rupert after all this, unless you've been through it, you can never say what you'd do.

She is doing the right thing. Plus, she is beautiful and can do much better.

It sucks hard that they are getting a divorce due to the cheating. It's both Rupert and Kristen Stewart's fault. It takes two to tango but hey this stuff happens everyday. Sad as it is. The victims are the children in all of this. That Kristen girl is always so smug too-even after what her and The director dude did, it didn't seem right.

Congratulations, Kristen Stewart, you helped break up ur first marriage! Off to a good start! I am glad to see people giving her blame still, as well as the husband naturally. It was a 50-50 endeavor that they both acted on. I'm sick and tired of people calling affairs a Mistake she or he made...oh, everyone makes Mistakes...gimme a break. As I've said before a mistake is her flubbing her lines, or reading directions wrong, or whatever. This at best is a lapse (cough*cough*)in moral judgement. I wish Rob would have had the fortitude to have left her kicked to the curb where she belonged.

Why should she have to? He vowed to get her back and instead he stabbed her in it.

His decision to have an affair was selfish. He showed no regard to his marriage or his kids. Being photographed in such a public place?? Some people have put the bulk of the blame on him and not Kristen. I'm sorry but she doesn't appear to me to be stupid or niave. She made a grown woman decision to have an affair with a married man with kids! She is equally to blame for the end of his marriage. I applaud Liberty for making the effort but like several of the other posters have said, I would have walked away. I would allow him to see his kids, and wouldn't even throw him under the bus. When they are older they would be able to google thier father's indiscretions. Let him explain it!!
