The high-profile couple recently announced on social media that they were parting ways, with the timing of making the news raising eyebrows as a result of claims levelled against Baron Cohen from Rebel Wilson in a new book.

But Ford said he didn’t believe the allegations “directly related” to the announcement of the couple’s split.
