She said in an interview with Daily Mail, “Such an incredible loss inevitably puts an enormous strain on a relationship because people grieve in different ways.”
“It would take the most emotionally mature people to be able to cope in that situation and to comfort one another in the correct way. I can only say now, eight years later, that I’m not sure we were able to do that at the time,” she added.
“We have made mistakes and done things that don’t work for each other – and you either end up together, or you don’t.”
