Michael Sheen Reveals What Was 'Difficult' About Kate Beckinsale Split

Michael Sheen is speaking out about the most difficult aspect of his 2003 split from his ex Kate Beckinsale. The couple were together for 8 years and have a child, Lily, who is now 21.

“Going through that experience of a relationship breaking down and having a young child, and then because of my daughter and her mom living in another country, having to make a life in a new place whilst going through that whole experience, which is difficult enough,” Michael said on the “Changes With Annie Macmanus” podcast about having to live in the UK while his daughter was in the USA. “I had no work visa to stay in America, so every time I left, I had to go back to Britain. I never knew if I would be allowed to come back in again.”

He continued, “So, I ended up having to get work in Britain because I wasn’t really getting any work in America. It really made me question certain things about myself.”

Kate and Michael have remained on good terms over the years, and she has even featured him on her social media!
