Not only did Blanchett attend this month’s Baftas solo, but she was also noticeably not wearing her wedding ring to the event, according to parenting website She Knows.

In fact, she’s not been wearing her ring at all lately, the source reports.

The last time the couple were seen in public as a duo was back in August 2023 when they were spotted on holiday in Ibiza. Now, news has also surfaced that the couple have put their Melbourne home up for auction, per British media.

The Tár actress, 54, has always kept her private life private, so it’s unlikely any announcements will be forthcoming. However, netizens are already comparing her situation to that of Meryl Streep, who only revealed in October 2023 that she and her husband Don Gummer had been separated for six years.
