Emilia Fox has disclosed that she and television producer Jonathan Stadlen ended their relationship in February last year. <\/p>\n

The Silent Witness star opened up about the split in a recent interview, revealing how she has been coping in the months since.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Times<\/a>, Ms Fox shared: “Actually, Jonathan and I separated last February. <\/p>\n

“The end of a relationship is always sad, but with age and life experience, you draw on the things that make you feel better and do them, like going on girly trips with [Ms Fox’s daughter] Rose and being with friends.”<\/p>\n

With nearly twelve months having passed since the separation, the 50-year-old actress said she is now in a positive place.<\/p>\n

“It’s been nearly a year now and I’m feeling positive,” she told the publication.<\/p>\n

The relocation of Silent Witness to Birmingham in 2024 presented logistical challenges for Ms Fox, who is based in London. <\/p>\n

However, her daughter Rose’s decision to begin weekly boarding school made the arrangement feasible.<\/p>\n

“It wouldn’t have worked if Rose hadn’t started weekly boarding school,” Ms Fox explained. “She wanted to be with her contemporaries, which I really understood.”<\/p>\n

The actress drew parallels with her own upbringing, noting that she made a similar choice at the age of 13. <\/p>\n
