Source: Balthazar Getty's Affair 'Devastating' to Family
In the wake of Balthazar Getty's announcement that he and his wife Rosetta have separated, friends say Rosetta was "blindsided" by her husband's affair with Sienna Miller.
The Brothers & Sisters star announced that he and Rosetta, 38, had separated in a statement released Monday. The announcement came after photos revealed Getty, 33 and Miller, 26, cavorting in Italy, including many of her topless.
Now pals are bristling over comments from Getty's camp suggesting that he and Rosetta had been living separate lives for some time before his relationship with Miller became public.
"Balthazar and Rosetta were in no way separated when Balthazar began his relationship with Sienna Miller, and any implication otherwise is an absolute lie," says a close friend of the couple. "Balthazar's affair has been utterly devastating to Rosetta and her family."
Sources close to Rosetta - who last year launched high-end women's clothing line Riser Goodwyn - insist the separation Getty mentioned in his statement is not legal. They say Rosetta, 38, has been "blindsided," and learned of the tryst not long before the pair were photographed kissing on Italy's Amalfi coast.
Earlier this month the couple reunited in L.A. for son Cassius's eighth birthday. "Rosetta felt it was important that the whole family be there," says another friend. "They made it as comfortable as possible for Cassius, but it was extremely uncomfortable for her."
The Gettys married in 2000 and have four children, the youngest 9-month-old June Catherine.

Just a really shitty situation, especially when small children are involved.

The separation is not legal....but were they living separate lives or not? I mean was he coming home to her at night or not? The most ridiculous part of the whole story are the denials from him and Sienna. |

but why? what if the wife thought the marriage was just going through a bad patch? or they had only seperated a month ago? it would be very painful to see your partner out with someone else under those circumstances. how anyone can humilate their wife and children like that is beyond me. the eight year old at least must have some idea about what's going on, and he shouldn't have to be put through that. |

Obviously they were separated in his mind --- he must have forgotten to tell her. What a man!!

Those two (Balthazar and Sienna) deserve each other.

I just don't know. The fact that the word "legal" is used from her "camp" leads me to believe that they were apart and just hadn't
discussed divorce or anything requiring paperwork up to that point.

Of course they weren't separated. TMZ aired video of Getty in the airport on his way to join Sienna overseas and even then he was saying he and Sienna were
just friends and that he and his wife were still together. I don't know why it's so hard for some people to just admit that the man is a cheating
bastard and the woman is a ho.

They're both sluts. He's a married one and she's a single one.

No, but it wouldn've been nice if he'd told his wife. And I'm sure she would have appreciated her husband not following her to Italy and cavorting
outside with his naked girlfriend.

I'm sure she would have, but celebrities live by a different set of rules.
