The former couple met while filming 2001's 'Planet of the Apes.' They dated until 2014 and agreed to joint custody after their split.
Since Nell and Billy were born, Bonham Carter and Burton have made it a point to keep their children out of the spotlight.
In October, Nell and Billy made a rare public appearance with their dad at the opening of The World of Tim Burton exhibition at The Design Museum in London.

In 2020, Bonham Carter spoke to The Guardian about how their kids had finally gotten used to their family dynamic.
'It's taken us some time to adjust, but I think it's really very good now,' she shared. 'And the kids are fine, they get to have a dual life.'

'At first it's a horrible thing to get used to, not having your children around,' the 'Enola Holmes' actress said about sharing custody. 'The cruelty of divorce is extraordinary. But then you get to a point where you're like, Oh, I get this week off! Some parts are very much to be recommended.'

On the 'Therapy Works' podcast in Dec. 2022, Bonham Carter reflected on her 'painful' breakup with Burton, which she referred to as a 'divorce' despite the exes never marrying.
'It was a long-lasting thing. That's the other thing, it's not that finite,' she stated. 'It never ends. Even if you divorce somebody, it's a kind of marriage if you have children with them. The relationship has to change.'

'Part of the grieving is letting go and it takes a longer time than people expect,' she added.
Before dating Burton, Bonham Carter had a relationship with Kenneth Branagh while the British filmmaker was married to Emma Thompson. Branagh and Thompson divorced in 1995, and Branagh and Bonham Carter stayed together for five years until they separated in 1999.
The 'Edward Scissorhands' director, for his part, has been dating actress Monica Bellucci since 2023. She starred in his 2024 horror comedy 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.'

New baby shower trend avoids ‘I hate people watching me open gifts' awkwardness
In news that might make you want to do a little happy dance, expectant moms are changing up their approaches to gifts at baby showers. 'Display Showers' are growing in popularity; where hosts encourage guests to bring their presents unwrapped, with simply a tag identifying who it's from. The gifts are then 'displayed' in an arrangement where people can still see and talk about the products, but aren't held hostage to an hour of unwrapping, and pretend oohing over every item. What is a 'Display Shower'? Babylist, a registry site for parents-to-be, recently surveyed users to understand what's driving the trend. According to their research, skipping the public present opening takes the pressure off the mom-to-be, and gives guests more time to enjoy each other's company. 'I am pretty introverted and feel awkward opening so many gifts in front of everyone, but I know some people really love seeing all the baby stuff, so I thought this was a perfect way to please everyone,' a pregnant woman told the site. Additionally, many parents shared they valued decreasing waste, and the costs associated with wrapping. 3 The gifts are then 'displayed' in an arrangement where people can still see and talk about the products. pressmaster – Respondents' main tip when it came to hosting a Display Shower? Be super clear on the invitation about naming gifts, but keep track of who brought what, in case anyone didn't quite understand. According to the survey, most moms found that the Display Shower was embraced by others, but a few encountered some resistance. 'All of the pushback was from older generations. I just explained why I was doing it and sometimes had to simply say because I didn't want to,' one commented. 'Nice to not sit through an hour of gift unwrapping' 3 According to the survey, most moms found that the Display Shower was embraced by others, but a few encountered some resistance. Pixel-Shot – In parenting groups on social media, we found that most are big fans of the display shower and recommend others follow suit. 'I went to one of these recently and it was actually really nice not having to sit through two hours of gift opening,' read one comment for example. Another mom, who had recently hosted a Display Shower, shared the wording on her invitations: 3 'I went to one of these recently and it was actually really nice not having to sit through two hours of gift opening,' read one comment. Getty Images/iStockphoto 'Please bring your gift without paper or bag, a bow is enough, along with this gift tag. Unwrapped presents are just as sweet, plus it gives us more time to mingle and eat. 'We'll display your gifts for all to see, and enjoy celebrating the mommy-to-be!' Some did suggest that the name – Display Shower – could come across strangely, so opted for something different like 'no-wrap shower.'

LeBron James' wife pushing him to ‘f–king retire' next year after he re-ups with Lakers
Savannah James is urging LeBron to retire. The Lakers superstar exercised his $52.6 million option for 2025-26, bypassing free agency to return to Los Angeles for his 23rd NBA season. The 2003 No.1 overall pick revealed this during a dinner outing in New York with his wife, Savannah, Miami Heat and former Cleveland Cavaliers big man Kevin Love and his wife, Kate, among others. One of the dinners guests posted a snippet on Instagram of the conversation where James can be heard saying, 'Savannah wants me to f–king retire in the next year or so.' His agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN that while LeBron 'appreciates the partnership' with the Lakers, he 'values a realistic chance of winning it all' and will be closely monitoring the team's offseason moves. LeBron James, Savannah James at the 20th Annual Hammer Museum Gala in the Garden held at the Hammer Museum on May 17, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. Variety via Getty Images At 40 years old, turning 41 this coming December, James continues to perform at a star level, especially on offense. James ended year 22 averaging 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.8 rebounds. Despite his on-court production, the Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves, who later reached the Western Conference finals before losing to the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder. LeBron James dribbles the ball against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Getty Images Paul offered further insight into the possibility of retirement, which will continue to hang over James every season now that he's in his 40s. 'We want to evaluate what's best for LeBron at this stage in his life and career,' Paul told ESPN. 'He wants to make every season he has left count, and the Lakers understand that, are supportive and want what's best for him.' The Lakers, who made the major deal with the Mavericks for Luka Dončić this past season, are still attempting to compete in the West, but it's unclear if they'll be championship-level good for this coming year.
