In May, James McAvoy and his wife of nine years, Anne-Marie Duff, announced their plans to divorce: "It is with tremendous sadness that we have come to the decision to divorce," the couple said in a statement. "We enter this next phase with continued friendship, love and respect for one another and the shared focus of caring for our son." The pair tied the knot in 2006 and welcomed their son Brendan in 2010.
