Silent Witness star Emilia Fox has spoken about the ‘big risk’ of ‘falling in love again’ saying that she’s ‘much more at peace’ in her forties because she ‘doesn’t have to deal with a lot of change in her personal life’.
The multi-millionaire actress, 47, who lives in west London, said it ‘makes her heart dance’ when she thinks of what attracted her to TV producer boyfriend Jonathan Stadlen, 43, in an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
She told the publication: ‘We’ve met at a time in our lives when we’ve both had relationships, we both have children and we’ve both been on our own and, as a result, we’re able to communicate freely, openly and honestly about everything.

Jonathan is a divorcé who lives three miles away from Emilia – a member of the famous Fox acting dynasty. He was the man behind the recent hit Netflix series An American Murder: The Family Next Door.
Speaking about facing some big life changes in her thirties and how her forties been different: ‘In my thirties, I was dealing with lots of change in my personal life; it felt like being on a rollercoaster.
‘In your twenties, you can pursue your career; then suddenly, in your thirties, your body clock is ticking. You’re trying to form the relationships that you think might last for ever and, when they don’t, you have to work out how you feel about that and what you do.
‘Thankfully, my forties have been much calmer – and happier, too.’
Speaking about her new partner she added: ‘I’ve not had communications like that in any romantic relationship, ever.’

Moving on: Emilia’s relationship with Luc came three years after she split from celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, 58, who she dated on and off between 2012 and 2016
Emilia has been a fixture on the small screen in her role playing Dr Nikki Alexander on BBC crime drama Silent Witness since 2004.
Emilia, who has a ten-year-old daughter named Rose from her relationship with actor and activist Jeremy Gilley, split from her talent agent fiancé Luc in October last year, 18 months after they met on the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya.
Before that she dated controversial TV chef Marco Pierre White from 2012 to 2016 after she and Mr Gilley went their separate ways.
At the time, he was still married to his wife, Mati Conejero, with whom he has three children, and their relationship was said to have been a tortuous, on-off one.

In 2000, Emilia was engaged to the comedian Vic Reeves but after they ended their relationship she dated British artist and designer Toby Mott. In July 2005, she married the British actor Jared Harris, the son of Irish film star Richard Harris.
They announced their separation in 2008 following the breakdown of their long-distance relationship, and were divorced in 2010.
She is the daughter of actress Joanna David and her father is the actor Edward Fox. Her uncle is James Fox, father of the actor and activist Laurence Fox. Her younger brother is rising star Freddie Fox, who played Jeremy Bamber in the 2019 ITV drama White House Farm.
Talking about taking more risks as she gets older and recounting the last one she took, she told Good Housekeeping: ‘Falling in love again – that’s a big risk.
‘You have to be prepared to put all your cards on the table, to leave your past in the past and look forward to the future together – and to be vulnerable with that.
‘I think that’s quite a brave thing to do.’
The Pianist actress, who is the magazine’s March cover star, said the change she would still like to see for women would be for it to ‘be made easier for every woman to have a working life and a home life’.
She cited her Silent Witness co-star Liz Carr as an inspiration.
