A Notable Family History
**Helena Bonham Carter** and **Tim Burton** ended their 13-year relationship in 2014, but maintained a unique living arrangement. They continued to reside in adjacent houses in London, even connecting the properties. **Bonham Carter** later described **Burton** as “generous” for allowing her to keep both homes.

**Bonham Carter** previously explained the unusual setup, stating, “The double house is not really two houses, it’s two small houses that have been put together. I did not have room to house children, put it that way. I lived in a cottage.”
She added, “It feels like I’m an alien person because I live next door to my children.”

Currently, **Helena Bonham Carter** is in a six-year relationship with art historian **Rye Dag Holmboe**. **Nell Burton**’s recent appearance signals a growing comfort with public life as she continues to pursue her acting career.
