Bridget Jones and Miranda star Sally Phillips has opened up on her ‘second chance’ romance with new man Ian, who she has revealed is ‘to die for’ and good at kissing
Bridget Jones star Sally Phillips has revealed she has found love again after her husband left her for a yoga teacher.
The actress, who played Shazza in all three of the Bridget Jones movies, was married to shipping director Andrew Bermejo for 14 years and the couple share three sons, Oliver, Tom and Luke. But the couple split in 2017 after Andrew left her for a yoga teacher. Although usually tight-lipped about her private life, Sally shared she has been in a new relationship for the past four years after being introduced to her new man by a friend.
Describing her new partner Ian as “to die for”, the 53-year-old told Kaye Adams at How To Be 60 Live!: “My husband left me for a member of the Russian Yoga Federation, though I’m not legally allowed to say that anymore, but he won’t listen to this.” Opening up on her new romance for the first time, Sally continued: “Fortunately my friend introduced me to Ian, and I’ve been with Ian for four years now. And he’s to die for. I’m going to overshare because comedians do that.
“But when he kissed me, I did think of that line; you need to be kissed a lot by someone who knows how. So I’ve met someone who knows how to kiss. I am very, very happy with him and I feel very lucky to have had a second chance.”
