Jessica Lange, Sam Shepard Split: Actress And Playwright Separate

Jessica Lange, Sam Shepard Separate

They appeared to be in it for the long haul.

Alas, Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard confirmed media speculation today that they have ended their relationship -- separating not recently, but almost two years ago, according to a report by People. The Oscar-winning actress, who recently earned a Golden Globe nod for her role in "American Horror Story," and veteran playwright had been together for nearly three decades, since 1982.

"They are both pursuing independent lives," a source tells the magazine.

Lange and Shepard have two children together, Hannah and Samuel.
