She allegedly struggled to be accepted by his family, even after welcoming their son. She also had to sell some of her treasured possessions to support them financially. She said, “He was the one who told me, ‘It’s over.’ I would never have left him because of our son, James. It was a massive shock because, despite all our problems, it was so unexpected. I was in the kitchen preparing dinner. He came in and stood in the doorway and said rather melodramatically, ‘I’ve been grieving for three weeks and I’ve decided we are getting divorced.’ He told me we should have separated years ago, and I was devastated that he came out with this blanket statement with no warning. That’s when I felt used by him and his family. I thought he married me because he cared. But now I believe he was with me because he wanted an heir — and I gave him a beautiful one.” They divorced in 2001, and she now lives out of the public eye.
