But that's the way things go, unfortunately. The only option is to get on with things."<br /> </p><p><br /> Mr Knightley went on to say: "They were together for quite a long time and it is always hard breaking up. She's focused on her work."<br /> </p><p><br /> 25-year-old Keira and 29-year-old Rupert met in 2005 on the set of Pride and Prejudice where Keira played Elizabeth Bennett and Rupert was Mr Wickham.<br /> </p><p><br /> There are reports that the break-up may have in part been down to the pressures of being in the public eye.<br /> </p>
