"The beginning is often the best part of love. Fireworks, magnets, rebellion — the attraction. The onset signals a wide open expanse of possibility," she began alongside an intimate black-and-white photo of the two of them laughing and kissing.
The actress revealed that there is no bad blood between her and the 50-year-old filmmaker.
"Inherently we fear an ending. To lose what you have because you got what you wanted. To be attached to the expectation of the outcome. The great Unknown," Bosworth wrote, adding, "What if we chose not to fear but instead, to love. If that most delicate and vulnerable last flicker to the flame became another type of furnace entirely."
“Perhaps this will sound strange to some, romantic to others. To us: this is truth,” the “Blue Crush” starlet wrote, adding that their “hearts are full, as we have never been so enamored and deeply grateful for one another as we do in this decision to separate.”
She explained that throughout their decade-long relationship, they have “chosen love, every time.” In this new chapter, they will continue working together and making memories.
"We hold hands as tightly today as we entangled fingers on our wedding day. Our eyes look more deeply into one another, with more courage now. In the process of letting go, we have come to acknowledge that our love will never end," she continued. "The connection does not simply disappear. The love deepens, the heart expands."
"We know the 4 am calls are coming. Songs will be exchanged to communicate only what songs can do. We laugh as we plan for our next movie together and are excited to share our latest collaboration," Bosworth added. "We believe the most epic love stories are those which transcend expectation."
"Our greatest honor has been to experience love like this, and to continue to marvel at the beauty of love's evolution," she noted, adding, "What happens when we reach the end of something and realize … we are just at the beginning."
She concluded the lengthy message, writing: “This is love. And we will drink that down.”
The couple met in 2011 on the set of the drama “Big Sur," which he directed. They tied the knot in August 2013 in Montana.
