I always thought she was so beautiful. Even as a villian in harry potter she was one of my favorites her and tom Felton.

As Helena has stated she could write a thesis on what happened and it does sound like one.
For one thing it’s important to note that a second home was bought was because Tim bought the house next to Helena’s little house as she said it would be nice to have Mr Right living next door. However when she got pregnant she didn’t have the room in her house but didn’t want to give it up so Tim had the corridor link up the 2 houses and Helena had confirmed that both kids lived in his house.
Second it should be noted that Helena doesn’t believe in marriage as she believes that people aren’t meant to be together forever. It may be speculated that Tim had proposed before but Helena didn’t want to. In fact she said in a recent interview that marriage was too much of a decision. So they were never married.
So I think after the whole sweeney Todd drama, Tim was trying to be careful in casting her but kept drawing her as the red queen so she was cast in Alice.
Helena then thought she would automatically be cast as Angelique in Dark Shadows but both had agreed to not cast her so Tim could work with other actors as Helena gets to work with other directors and just to give the 2 a break.
However Richard Zanick said she would be good as Dr Hoffman so Tim cast her for the part.
Now she wasn’t cast for frankenweenie but those were for voices and it was a much smaller scale stop motion and it was around the time Dark Shadows was being made as well.
But when it came to Big Eyes that was really the first time Tim cast actors he had never worked with and first time he filmed outside UK since Charlie and the chocolate 2005.
So personally I think it was such a change for both that the relationship just broke down especially as Helena as stated that they’re both strongly individualistic and that if she didn’t see him on set she would think he’s depressed for every film due to the amount of stress. Even though he is Tim burton it sounds like he still struggles with studios. Hell, he was close to retiring if it wasn’t for Wednesday and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
As Helena stated some people fit for a certain time and sometimes in order for people to evolve you have to let them go.
But clearly not enough for them as they are still amicable to this day. Even days before they announced they broke up they were photographed with the cast of Cats. And considering Tim does not like musicals or cats that’s quite something.
In fact Tim gave Helena his house and keeps giving her gifts even a handmade mask with his drawings during Covid.
I think it’s a testament that they have a strong bond and respect for each other.

They were never married. They have kids together but chose not to get married, which I really respect. I like people who step out of the social norms, people who are free.

[Gabrigattin]

Yes, they have two kids two... It's so sad that they had to break up

[sharonpaterson]

Yeah I love her don’t know why they split but it was heartbreaking 💔 love these guys

[tuyamariale]

I couldn’t believe he cheated on her. 😔

[the.deadpoet]

I've always believed Helena to be one of the most naturally beautiful women in the world.

First He DID NOT deserve her! And they were never married

[Rose-mu]

You can see the corpse bride was a look a like too his wife

[isabelmawana-santiful]

This is a couple that makes sense in my mind. She has always been beautiful.

[elsiebert]

He blew it. She's a treasure and a genius.

[stitchgirl]

She should have married Johnny Depp but since he and Burton are friends that would never happen.

[EVER_SWIFTIE]

Me sees her immediately thinks that is unmistakably Belatrix Lastrange

[selmahare]

He’s with Monica Bellucci now, oddest couple in the History of odd, odder than Anna Nicole Smith with her octogenarian hubby in the 90s, if you ask me; cause at least that made some obvious transactional sense. Burton and Helena looked like a great fit, because they both were of the same vibe. With Belucci he just looks like a sugar daddy to a vintage sugar baby, a probable marketing coup for Belucci, who was otherwise gone from public view, and for the most still is. He went with it for the obvious reasons, she’s hot, still.. and men love to hook up with prizes.

[sunshineyearsago]
