Balthazar Getty is begging the mother of his four children to take him back.

Getty said his marriage to Rosetta Getty was over after pictures of him and a nearly nude Sienna Miller on a boat on the Amalfi coast were revealed.

But US celebrity website www.TMZ.com reports Balthazar, 33, is desperate to get his wife back.

The site says: 'Our sources say - and they are impeccable - Balthazar has resorted to e-groveling with his e-stranged wife, Rosetta.

'He has been sending her e-mails in the last week saying, "I love you."'

It goes on: 'We're told if the divorce goes on, Balthazar will come out looking awful.

'For starters, he basically lived off her until he got his recent TV gig (he's the grandson of a billionaire, but hasn't gotten his dollars yet).'
