They were recently photographed house-hunting together, but sadly their relationship barely made it past the year mark. Actress Joely Richardson has split up from TV and radio presenter Jamie Theakston. Officially announced today, the break-up is being blamed on pressure of work.
The couple’s intimacy was uncovered when they were snapped kissing in the car park of a smart London restaurant last summer. Introduced to each other by a mutual friend, Jamie and Joely, Vanessa Redgrave’s daughter, were soon an item.
A spokesman for the actress said today: “I can confirm that Joely and Jamie have split up. It happened a few weeks ago but they remain good friends.” Previously married to film producer Tim Bevan with whom she has a daughter, nine-year-old Daisy, Joely’s divorce came through in July, leading to speculation that she would tie the knot with Jamie, who co-presents The Priory with Zoe Ball.
An interview with Jamie appeared in a UK magazine this week, but the TV presenter refused to comment on the state of his relationship with the beautiful blonde star of Maybe Baby.
The actress is currently on holiday with friends in France, where she is reading scripts and deciding what to do next.
