Actress Meg Tilly has nothing but love for her famous ex.
Tilly was at the height of her career in the late ’80s and early ’90s when she met a then up-and-coming actor named Colin Firth on the Parisian set of their 1989 period piece, Valmont. The two fell madly in love, leaving Hollywood and moving to a secluded home near Vancouver to raise Tilly’s two young children, and having another son together named Will.
Five years later, the duo split up and Firth went back to England and on to a hugely successful career — which Tilly always knew would happen for him.
