The revelation came during an interview with Hello magazine, where Livia discussed various aspects of her life post-divorce. She delved into her role in running a sustainable farming business alongside her brothers in Italy’s Umbria region, her battle with breast cancer, and the closure of her fashion brand, Eco-Age. Livia also mentioned her current partner, Scottish climate activist Callum Griev, emphasizing the harmonious coexistence between their blended family.
Having met on the set of the British-Italian miniseries Nostromo in the mid-90s, Colin and Livia’s marriage faced public scrutiny in the 2010s due to Livia’s admission of an affair with an Italian journalist. Despite the challenges they encountered, including a civil case against the journalist for harassment, the couple managed to navigate through their differences and ultimately decided to part ways in 2019.

Livia revealed that she and Colin continue to spend a significant amount of time together, indicating a mature and amicable post-divorce relationship. She shared that both Colin and her current partner, Callum, share a close friendship, bonded by their mutual support for the Premier League club, Arsenal. Livia expressed contentment with her current life in Italy, reflecting on her past in London with a sense of detachment.
In a separate interview with The Times, Livia emphasized the strong friendship she and Colin maintain, underscoring their shared value of privacy and separation of public and personal lives. She portrayed their approach to fame as a conscious choice to keep their true selves separate from the public persona, allowing for a more authentic post-fame existence.

Despite the challenges and complexities that arose during their marriage and subsequent divorce, both Livia and Colin have managed to find peace and contentment in their individual paths. By prioritizing respect, friendship, and co-parenting, they serve as an example of mature and evolved post-divorce dynamics that focus on mutual understanding and support. Their story highlights the possibility of maintaining positive relationships even after significant life changes.
As Colin continues to pursue his acting endeavors, recently starring in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, and Livia focuses on her business ventures and personal growth, their enduring friendship stands as a testament to resilience and emotional maturity. Their journey serves as a reminder that endings do not always signify finality, but rather new beginnings and opportunities for personal evolution and growth.
