Silent Witness star Emilia Fox reveals secret shock split from partner of four years Jonathan Stadlen
Silent Witness star Emilia Fox has revealed that her and her partner Jonathan Stadlen secretly split after four years together.
The actress, 51, made the admission in a brand new interview, revealing that she had been keeping the new under wraps. It was revealed that her split from Stadlen happened almost a year ago.
In a new interview with Woman & Home, Fox said: "Jonathan and I separated last February. I have only the very best of feelings towards him.
“Relationships are funny. They bring different things in different moments of the partnership, but it doesn’t take away from the really wonderful times.”
The couple began dating in 2021 after being introduced by a mutual friend. Fox added: "You might feel emotional about it at one point, but luckily with age, you can accept it as part of life, and know how to recover and look after yourself.
"The end of relationships are always sad, but I’ve been putting into practice things that have made me feel more positive, hopeful and optimistic."
The busy actress said that she threw herself into her work following the split, including filming for the new series of BBC hit crime drama Silent Witness. Fox, who has played Dr Nikki Alexander in the show since 2004, said: “I was very lucky. I was working on Silent Witness then away to Rome.
“That was really helpful. It was a good time to be away. I had to spend a lot of time in my own company.”
She added: "I feel very positive now, very invigorated and renewed. There are no new love interests. I’m just really looking forward to what the future holds. New beginnings.”
Fox will return to screens very soon as the 29th season of Silent Witness is right around the corner. The show returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Monday, February 2.
