Helena Bonham Carter says claims Tim Burton cheated are 'nonsense' US director Tim Burton and British actress Helena Bonham Carter are still believed to be an item, despite photos apparently showing Burton kissing a mystery woman. HELENA Bonham has rejected claims her longterm boyfriend Tim Burton cheated on her, after he was apparently photographed kissing a mystery blonde. The photos, first published by the New York Post, showed Burton, 55, sharing an intimate moment with a younger-looking woman after emerging from a cinema together late last month. But a spokesperson for Bonham, 47, told the UK's Daily Express: "This is absolute nonsense, the pictures were taken whilst they were out and the large group includes family, friends and work colleagues." The couple of 12 years is still believed to be together, according to the Daily Mail. The newspaper said the pair, known for living in separate London houses, was last seen in public in March at and event with their children, Billy and Nell.
