Jude 'bruised' after break-up

13 April 2012

Film star Jude Law spoke today of how his break-up from Sadie Frost left him "battered and bruised".

But the Cold Mountain star said he felt stronger and happier now that the couple have divorced.

Law and Frost had an acrimonious split last year and were granted a "quickie" divorce in October on the grounds of the movie star's "unreasonable behaviour".
In an interview with This Morning, Law spoke about the break-up.

He said: "I think those sort of situations take a lot longer to heal and repair and to put back into order.

"It changes your life, I think, when you enter into a marriage and it can change it just as much as when you're part of a break-up.

"But I certainly feel stronger emotionally and happier in myself, if not a little battered and bruised."

The couple have three children - Rafferty, eight, Iris, three, and 16-month-old Rudy.

Frost claimed in divorce documents that Law's behaviour had worsened her post-natal depression, for which she needed treatment.

Law, 31, is now dating 21-year-old actress Sienna Miller, his co-star in the forthcoming remake of Alfie.

Despite earning millions from films such as The Talented Mr Ripley and Cold Mountain, the actor claimed he was too poor to afford a second home.

He and Miller were rumoured to be house-hunting for a rural hideaway in Gloucestershire.

Interviewer Kate Garraway recommended the pretty Cotswolds village of Painswick.

Law told her: "I'm not looking to buy anywhere at the moment, I can't afford it. So at the moment I'm staying in the house I'm in and very happy. I'll certainly look at Painswick, I'll go and check it out when I do move."
