More and more troubling news for actor Christian Bale in the wake of his arrest for assault of his mum and sister last weekend in London.  Last night we posted of how Bale lost his temper on the set of Terminator 4: Salvation when he screamed and cursed out a camera operator.  Now comes word that Bale’s marriage to former model Sandra ‘Sibi’ Blazic is on the rocks according to the Daily Mail.

The incident apparently comes at a time when his marriage to Sandra ‘Sibi’ Blazic, a former model and make-up artist, is enduring difficulties.

‘He has stresses in his marriage,’ the source said. ‘He can have a terrible temper. Instead of lashing out at his wife, he sometimes lashes out at people around him.’

The source added: ‘His marriage is not perfect, but his relationship with his mother is in much more trouble.

As the BumpWife mentioned to me yesterday sometimes these actors (who have tons of issues in the first place) have a hard time escaping or letting a role go once the filming and movie is over.  When you couple that with the fact Bale is having a hard time dealing with the loss of Heath Ledger then you can more understand what might be going on with Bale.

The source also claimed Bale had been deeply affected by the death of Ledger, who was found dead earlier this year from an overdose of anti-depressants and sleeping tablets.

‘Without Ledger around, he’s found it more and more difficult to communicate with those around him, especially his family.’

It was reported he found it hard to shake off the mental strains of the role, and told an interviewer he was having trouble sleeping.

It looks like rehab could be next for Christian.  Who will the curse of The Dark Knight claim next?
