Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt Break Up: Couple Calls Time After 18 Years Together [PHOTOS]

Months after denying their relationship was over, Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt are splitting up.

Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt were one of those Hollywood couples expected to be together forever. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. The actors have split after 18 years in a relationship.

Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt made the decision to end their relationship together, and there is no bad blood between them.

Hamm and Westfeldt, an actress and producer who has had roles in hit TV series such as '24' and 'Greys Anatomy' and recently in the feature film 'Friends With Kids,' released a statement Monday through publicist Annett Wolf.

“With great sadness, we have decided to separate, after 18 years of love and shared history,” the couple said in a statement to PEOPLE. “We will continue to be supportive of each other in every way possible moving forward.”

Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt had been together 18 long years, but they were recently hit by rumors of trouble in their relationship.

Earlier this year, the 'Mad Men' actor completed treatment for alcohol addiction and praised Westfeldt for her support, Wolf said at the time. In April, they disputed reports they were breaking up.

Jon told PEOPLE last year that he felt lucky to have Jennifer in his life. "Our lives are entwined," the actor said. "It's a long time [together]. I'm definitely the guy that repeats his stories! Mostly it's just paying attention and keeping engaged and not succumbing to inertia or going through the motions."

However, in July 2015, another report circulated claiming Jon didn’t want to settle down and have kids with Jennifer, something that she really wanted to do.

Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt were last seen publicly together on July 22 at the after-party of Jon’s new series, Netflix’s 'Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp.'

Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt began dating in 1997. They starred together in the 2011 movie Friends With Kids, alongside Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott and Megan Fox. Jennifer wrote and directed the movie.
