Colin Firth is perhaps one of the best-known actors to come out of the United Kingdom. While the actor has been in the film industry for several decades, he rarely makes headlines, at least for his personal life.
Now it seems that his ex-wife is coming out with some facts about their relationship.
Keep reading to know more.
Colin Firth divorced from his wife Livia Giuggioli Firth over five years ago. The two shocked everyone when they ended their marriage after 22 years together.
Livia runs a sustainable farming business with her brothers in Italy’s Umbria region. In her personal life, she recently battled breast cancer. She recently gave an interview where she detailed what she had been doing the last few years.
Livia is now dating Scottish climate activist Callum Griev, she said of their relationship, “We’re always together.”
As for her relationship with her ex-husband, she said, “Colin and I have a wonderful relationship. We have worked on that a lot, and in keeping the family together. I have a partner; he has a partner and we’re all together all the time. It’s an extended, crazy family.”
Livia is a native Italian, and first met Colin Firth on the set of the 1996-97 British-Italian miniseries Nostromo. She was working as a production assistant at the time. The couple married in 1997 and during the course of their marriage welcomed two sons, Luca, who is now 24, and Matteo, who is now 21.
In the 2010s, Livia was under intense public scrutiny because she admitted to having an affair with an Italian journalist during a time when she and Colin had been separated privately. She later accused the journalist of stalking her after they had broken up and she had reconciled with her husband.
They settled the civil suit outside of court against her alleged stalker in 2018. In 2019, Livia and Colin Firth official announced that they are splitting up. Livia, however said that she maintains a healthy relationship with her ex. She also shared that Colin is “good friends” with her current man, Callum. She shared that both of them support the same football club; Arsenal. “Arsenal is a big theme in our family,” she shared.

When Livia was asked if she missed her old life in London, she candidly said, “I don’t miss any of it. Sometimes I look at my incredible high heels, gowns and clutches and think, I will never wear them again, and I can’t remember who that person was.”
“I’ve had so many lives; I was producing documentaries, then I married this English man who became a famous actor, and we grew a family,” she shared. “Then we happened to be at the Oscars, meeting all these crazy people. It’s funny how each moment of your life, at the time, becomes your reality.”
“Colin is very private, so we always separated public life from our life,” she had said in an interview earlier. “When you take that approach, you become like an avatar. You go there, you do it, you call your mum to say you saw George Clooney … but your real life has nothing to do with that. So when you don’t have it any more, it’s actually much nicer, because it was never you in the first place.”
It is so nice to see that the two of them get along. We hope their relationship continues to be friendly in the future, too. Share this with other fans of Colin Firth so they can get to know more about their favorite actor.
