Hiya Zuza, she was alone because James was filming The Conspirator in Savannah, Georgia. I doubt she minded being alone though. They do not seem like the kind of couple that are 'joined at the hip' if you know what I mean. With both of them being actors, they are often away from home to work on a film. So they are both used to not being around the other the whole time. I think it's good that they both stay independent people. And therefore it's probably good for their relationship to be apart every now and then. Keeps them out of a rot ;-)

The age difference of 9 years is not so much the problem Zuza, it's the fact that the woman is older than the man, that our society still looks upon as somewhat shameful for some reason...
