Lord Of The Rings star Sean Bean's new wife Georgina Sutcliffe has walked out repeatedly on the actor after a string of blazing rows, according to reports.

Bean, who wed Sutcliffe in July (08), was arrested that same month on suspicion of domestic assault after his 29-year-old spouse filed a complaint to police.

And although the assault claim was later dropped, the newlyweds are allegedly experiencing problems within their marriage.

A source tells Britain's News of the World newspaper, "I've lost count of the number of times they scream at each other, normally when they have had a drink. It's become a weekly event. "It usually starts late at night. All hell breaks loose with them shouting and screaming. The neighbours must be sick of it by now."

The source adds, "They love each other dearly, but that passion also makes their relationship very stormy. We all thought Sean's recent arrest would be the final nail in the coffin for the marriage. But no matter how many times Georgina leaves, she always returns. All their friends hope things settle down." (c) WENN
