Colin Firth's ex-wife Livia opens up about their split and fame after her affair: 'I don't miss any of it'

Discussing her marriage and subsequent separation from former spouse Colin Firth, Livia Guiggioli has addressed the fact that she does not feel nostalgic for the fame that accompanied her past life. 

At the age of 55, the activist finalized her divorce from the 64-year-old Pride and Prejudice star in 2021 after spending 24 years together. Their paths initially crossed on the set of a BBC documentary in 1996. 

Reports suggest that the couple’s union started to deteriorate in 2016 when Livia allegedly engaged in a romantic involvement with 55-year-old Italian reporter Marco Brancaccia. 

But they have since moved on with Livia in a relationship with Scotsman Callum Grieve, and Colin likewise, having been seeing TV writer Maggie Cohn since 2022. 

Yet despite their new romances, Livia and Colin are still ‘always together’, the actor’s ex-wife revealed in a new interview.

Speaking to HELLO! Magazine, Livia said: ‘We’re always together. Colin and I have a wonderful relationship. We have worked a lot on that, and on 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.’

Surprisingly, Livia revealed that her new boyfriend, Callum, and Colin actually share a love for Arsenal FC, and have bonded over their passion. 

The King’s Speech actor and his ex share two children together who are now grown up – Luca, 24, and Matteo, 21.

After their split, Colin announced in 2019 that he and Livia remained ‘united in their love for their children’.

With Livia now living a quieter existence in her native Italy, she told HELLO! that she ‘doesn’t miss’ the stardom of her old life. 

‘I don’t miss any of it. Sometimes I look at my incredible high heels, gowns and clutches and think: “I’ll never wear them again, and I can’t remember who that person was,”‘ she said.

Livia has received much praise for work as an activist in recent years, having made documentaries about the secretive underbelly of the fashion industry’s sweatshops and worked on a number of environmental projects.

She co-founded Eco-Age, for instance, a company which helped businesses adopt regenerative models and avoid greenwashing.

Heaping further praise onto Colin, the Italian previously said ‘she could never have done it if I wasn’t married to him’ in a 2021 interview. 

She argued her campaigns would not have sparked such interest if she wasn’t married to the acting superstar. 

She told The Times: ‘I could never have done what I have done if I wasn’t married to Colin… I don’t care, we do what is needed.’

The couple’s split made headlines after it was revealed in March 2018 that Livia had a year-long affair with Italian journalist Marco Brancaccia.  

She sparked a police investigation after claiming her childhood friend Marco harassed her with a ‘frightening’ barrage of messages.

Colin then confronted his wife over a ‘heartbreaking and malicious’ email from her ex-lover in March 2018. 

As well as the email to the actor, his wife claims she received phone calls, lived in terror and believed she was being followed.

Livia also said emails containing pictures of her were sent to her husband after the pair reunited.

But Mr Brancaccia told The Times that the activist had invented the claims to cover up their affair, which happened between 2015 and 2016.

Livia later dropped stalking charges against the journalist in 2018.
