Martin Freeman commented on his divorce with a colleague on the series "Sherlock"

The screen pair of Mr and Mrs. Watson are no longer together. This news greatly upset both the fans of the series "Sherlock", and fans of the work of Mr. Freeman and his now-former wife Amanda Abbington.

In one recent interview with Radio Times, the actor admitted that his parting with his wife was one of the most "civilized" in the history of stellar divorce.

Just before the premiere of the long-awaited, 4-th season of the detective series, the press reported about the break in relations between the spouses who lived together for 16 years.

Here's how the actor commented on the changes in his family status:

"Yes that's right! Me and Amanda are not together anymore. You know me well, and you understand that I will not discuss the details of my personal life with journalists. However, we are all right. We parted as civilized as adults, who respect each other. "

It became known that the couple could part friends, and this is no wonder. They are connected not only with 16 years of family life, but also with two children - a daughter and a son, who need the attention and love of both parents.

Divorce does not cancel love?

In the same interview, the partner of Benedict Cumberbatch on the series "Sherlock" said that he really likes watching how Amanda plays:

"I think she is a talented actress and a wonderful woman. I love her, and I will always love. But we are not together, and so also happens. "
