Kate announced their split in August 2021 via Instagram.
In August 2021, she shared a tender photo of the pair kissing along with an gushing tribute to love in the caption.
After several paragraphs reflecting on romance, Kate wrote: ‘Our hearts are full, as we have never been so enamored and deeply grateful for one another as we do in this decision to separate.’
While touching, some fans were left confused at the overly gushing tone of the post about the marriage breakdown, with one user commenting: ‘This isn’t real life,’ while another said: ‘Only in Hollyweird.’
The couple married in 2013. Bosworth is step-mother to Polish’s daughter from a previous marriage.
Kate’s rather poetic post began with two quotes, which she attributed to ‘Big Sur, 2011,’ the title of the film where they met.
‘“Do you want to split a burger?” Yes.’
‘“How ‘bout a shot of whiskey?” Hell yes.’

So much love with these two: She also held up her hands as she put a tongue over her teeth
Kate went on: ‘The beginning is often the best part of love. Fireworks, magnets, rebellion — the attraction. The onset signals a wide open expanse of possibility. Split a burger with someone when you are falling in love, and you can die happily knowing this is your last meal.
‘Buy a bottle of whiskey and share shots, pour me a waterfall. Play that perfect song on the jukebox and dance with someone you have known your whole life, though you met minutes ago.’
‘Inherently we fear an ending. To lose what you have because you got what you wanted. To be attached to the expectation of the outcome. The great Unknown.’
‘What if we chose not to fear but instead, to love. If that most delicate and vulnerable last flicker to the flame became another type of furnace entirely.
‘Perhaps this will sound strange to some, romantic to others. To us: this is truth.
Getting to the core of her message, the LA-born actress wrote: ‘Our hearts are full, as we have never been so enamored and deeply grateful for one another as we do in this decision to separate.

‘Together, over the last ten years, Michael and I have chosen love, every time. We hold hands as tightly today as we entangled fingers on our wedding day.
‘Our eyes look more deeply into one another, with more courage now. In the process of letting go, we have come to acknowledge that our love will never end. The connection does not simply disappear. The love deepens, the heart expands.
‘This is love,’ she wrote, finishing: ‘And we will drink that down.’
Kate and Michael, 51, were last photographed together in January 2021.
The couple met in 2011 during the making of the adventure drama Big Sur, which she starred in and he directed.

Michael is dad to daughter Jasper Polish, 24, with ex Jo Strettell.
‘I never even dated my husband-to-be,’ Bosworth told InStyle UK at the time. ‘He said to me after just a few weeks, before we were even together, “I’m going to marry you.” He just knew.’
