‘I was in so much shock’: Sienna Miller reveals she can’t remember the six weeks following her split from ex-fiancé Jude Law after his cheating scandal
Sienna Miller has revealed she can’t remember the six weeks following her split from ex-fiancé Jude Law in 2006, after his cheating scandal.
The actress, 38, spoke with The Daily Beast on Sunday about the breakdown of her relationship to the actor, 47, whose affair with his children’s nanny Daisy Wright came to public knowledge in 2005.
She claimed the scandal was ‘really hard’, and admitted: ‘There’s a whole six weeks of that experience that I don’t remember. I have no recollection of it.’

Sienna said she blocked out a significant proportion of the period from her memory, and can’t even recall meeting friends who said they saw her during that time.
Looking back on how she was performing on stage in As You Like It, Sienna explained: ‘That was one of the most challenging moments I hope I’ll ever have to experience.
‘Because with that level of public heartbreak, to have to get out of a bed let alone stand in front of 800 people every night, it’s just the last thing you want to do. I was in so much shock over it all.’

Sienna and Jude first met on the set of their film Alfie, and the pair got engaged on Christmas Day in 2004 after nearly a year of dating.
She broke off the engagement following news of his affair, with the pair separating in November 2006 after failing to salvage their relationship.
They reconnected in late 2009 when both starred on Broadway, with Sienna even spending Christmas with Jude and three of his children in Barbados, but they broke up once again in February 2011.

Her interview comes after reports Sienna had split from fiancé Lucas Zwirner just nine months after he proposed to her, making it her third failed engagement.
In September, sources claimed the pair had ‘hit a rough patch’ just before he proposed in January.
Page Six claimed that it was the actress who broke it off with Zwirner, though no reason for the break-up was given.
Sienna was also previously engaged to actor Tom Sturridge, 34, the father of her daughter Marlowe, seven, in 2012.
Before meeting Sienna, Jude was married to Sadie Frost -with whom he shares three of his children son Rafferty, 24, Iris, 20, and Rudy, 18- but they got a divorce in 2003, after six years of marriage.
Jude is now married to psychologist Phillipa, 32, who he was first spotted with at the Hay literary festival in 2015.
The couple got married at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London last year before partying in Mayfair – three months after the actor announced their engagement.
The actor also has an ten-year-old daughter Sophia with model Samantha Burke and Ada, five, with musician Catherine Harding.
