Ewan McGregor’s estranged wife Eve is convinced the actor cheated on her with his new lover Mary Elizabeth Winstead, new reports claim.
According to The Sun, the actor, 46, assured his wife nothing had occurred behind her back – but she finds it ‘hard to believe him’.
The pair, who were married for twenty two years, announced their split last month – following the emergence of Ewan’s relationship with his Fargo co-star, 32.

The paper claims that Ewan told Eve he was in love with Mary Elizabeth in May, leading to their marriage breakdown.
However, the French beauty is reportedly still struggling to believe him, and is finding the situation very hard on both herself and the pair’s kids.
A source said: ‘Eve is sure Ewan and Mary were together before he confessed his feelings for her. It is hard for her to believe him.

They first met on the set of TV show Kavanagh QC before he became a big name in Hollywood.
The pair are thought to have split in May – the same month Mary Elizabeth announced her separation from her husband Riley Stearns.
However, Eve had shared a photo of the Moulin Rouge star on Instagram in June, captioned: ‘My love plays the blues in Montreal’.
The announcement of their separation came after Ewan and Mary, who star together in FX drama Fargo, were spotted kissing in a bar in October.

Mary’s ex Riley said he would ‘always love’ her in a touching Instagram post following their split – however it has been deleted since news of her romance with Ewan broke.
Meanwhile Eve simply questioned: ‘What can I do?’ when asked about her breakup from Ewan on her own Instagram page.
The Scottish star has been seen moving out of the Los Angeles home he shared with Eve, and has reportedly found a new bachelor pad nearby.
Mary Elizabeth starred in the third season of FX Network show Fargo alongside Ewan, during which time she was reportedly invited to his family home for dinner to meet his wife and children.
