Game of Thrones star Carice van Houten confirms split with Oscar nominee Guy Pearce
Carice van Houten, best known for playing the Red Woman Melisandre on HBO’s Game of Thrones; and Guy Pearce, who was just nominated for the first Academy Award of his career for her turn in The Brutalist, have split up. Actually, they’ve been split up for quite a while, as van Houten revealed on her Instagram Stories.
“I don’t usually engage in discussions about my personal life, but because of a number of conclusions in the media last week regarding my relationship with Guy, I wanted to make something clear — he and I are great friends and love each other very much, but we haven’t been a ‘couple’ for years,” van Houten wrote. “I am however, very proud to say we are in a wonderful partnership raising the true love of our lives — our beautiful son and his hamster. The end.”
Pearce and van Houten started dating in 2015, a few months after Pearce split from his ex-wife Kate Mestitz, to whom he’d been married since 1997. Pearce and van Houten welcomed their son Monte in 2016. Rumors of a split started up the other week when Pearce gave an interview to The Guardian. “My ex-wife, Kate, was the greatest love of my life, but I’ve moved on from her now and the greatest love of my life is my child, Monte,” he said. There seemed to be someone missing from that sound bite, and now we know why. “I felt like I messed up my marriage. I don’t feel that way any more, but at the time I was devastated,” Pearce continued.
That said, as van Houten wrote, it sounds like the two of them have a solid relationship and do a good job of co-parenting their son, but they no longer have a love connection, if they ever did. As long as their family is happy, that’s all that matters.
As I mentioned, Pearce is up for his first-ever Oscar award for his turn as the brutal industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren in The Brutalist, which won a Golden Globe Award for Best Picture. He lost the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor to Kieran Culkin in A Real Pain, but things might be different at the Academy Awards, which will air on March 2 on ABC and Hulu. Award shows are weird, and it’s possible something like this could shift his narrative ahead of the voting.
As for van Houten, she hasn’t appeared in any notable projects onscreen in a couple years, but she has a few movies and TV shows on the way. The Red Woman was never going to stay away for long.

Carice van Houten wants you to know that she and Guy Pearce are not an item.
The Game of Thrones actress clarified that she and the Australian actor split a while ago after Pearce called his ex-wife, Kate Mestitz, the “greatest love of my life” before his son came along.
“I’ve moved on from her now and the greatest love of my life is my child, Monte,” Pearce recently told The Guardian.
In a statement shared Wednesday in an Instagram Story (via US Weekly), van Houten said she and Pearce have not been a couple “for years.”

“I don’t usually engage in discussions about my personal life, but because of a number of conclusions in the media last week regarding my relationship with Guy, I wanted to make something clear,” van Houten wrote. “He and I are great friends and love each other very much, but we haven’t been a ‘couple’ for years. Sorry not to mention it earlier.”
“I am, however, very proud to say we are in a wonderful partnership raising the true love of our lives — our beautiful son and his hamster,” she concluded. “The end.”
Pearce separated from Mestitz, a psychologist, in early 2015 after 18 years of marriage. He met van Houten on the set of the 2016 psychological Western Brimstone soon after and welcomed his son with the actress — best known for her work on Game of Thrones — that year. Pearce announced his son’s arrival on social media: “A cute little package arrived and told us his name’s Monte Pearce,” he wrote at the time. “We think we’re gonna keep him. Placenta smoothie, anyone?”

The actor spoke about the joys of fatherhood in 2021, telling The Independent, “After Monte was born, someone said to me, ‘You realize you’re now living with your heart on the outside?’ And it really is true, isn’t it?”
“When I started acting, I knew if I needed to cry that it could come out easily,” he added. “Then after 15 years of therapy, I became a far calmer and more satisfied human being, but trying to cry in a scene became impossible. Since having my boy, though, I cry at the drop of a hat again.”
Pearce is now celebrating his first-ever Academy Award nomination, announced early Thursday morning, for his work in The Brutalist. He is up for Best Supporting Actor.
Carice van Houten, best known for her role as Melisandre in Game of Thrones, has spoken out to clarify her split from actor Guy Pearce after his ex-wife made some remarks about their relationship.In a recent interview, Pearce’s ex-wife, Kate Mestitz, claimed that the couple’s marriage ended because Pearce had fallen in love with van Houten while they were filming a movie together. Mestitz also alleged that van Houten had been pursuing Pearce for some time before their separation.
However, van Houten has since set the record straight, stating that she and Pearce did not start dating until after he had separated from Mestitz. In a statement released to the media, van Houten emphasized that she would never get involved with someone who was still in a committed relationship.
The actress also expressed her sympathy for Mestitz, acknowledging that breakups are always difficult and emotions can run high. She stressed that she and Pearce are happy together and are focused on moving forward in their relationship.
Van Houten’s response has shed some light on the situation and hopefully put any lingering rumors to rest. It seems that the couple’s relationship started under more respectful circumstances than previously implied, and they are now free to continue their journey together without any unnecessary drama.
