LONDON, July 24 (UPI) -- Sienna Miller's lawyers say the film actress is suing the photo agency Big Pictures and publisher News International for invading her privacy.

News International publishes The News of the World and The Sun newspapers, which ran photos of a barely dressed Miller kissing her married new boyfriend, TV actor Balthazar Getty.

Getty issued a statement this week explaining he and Rosetta, his wife of eight years and the mother of his four children, had separated. He made the statement shortly after pictures of him with Miller were published.

Friends of Rosetta insist she and her husband were still together when he started dating Miller, who was born in New York City and raised in England.

People.com said Miller's attorneys have filed a breach of privacy lawsuit against Big Pictures and News International in London's High Court on Miller's behalf.

Miller previously won a judgment of about $75,000 from The Sun and The News of the World for publishing "highly intrusive" photos of her while she was filming her upcoming movie, "Hippie Hippie Shake."
