Kristin Scott Thomas' love life history
Prior to her marriage to John, Kristin, who has lived in France since she was 19, was married to a French obstetrician and gynaecologist, François Olivennes, who was awarded the Légion d'Honneur in 2011 by then-president Nicolas Sarkozy for his contributions to medicine.
They wed in 1987 but divorced in 2005. They have three children together, Hannah, 35, Joseph, 33, and George, 24.
In 2006, it was rumoured that Kristin was dating fellow actor and star of The Crown, Tobias Menzies. In 2014, she was also thought to be in a relationship with Arpad Busson (the ex-partner of Uma Thurman and Elle Macpherson) though neither romance was confirmed by Kristin.
In 2013, she made a rare joke that men "run for the hills" rather than being in a relationship with her.
She told The Sunday Telegraph: "It's incredibly difficult keeping relationships alive when you have a lifestyle like mine. I'm never more than a few weeks in one place."
She added: "If I've signed on to do something, then I have to do it properly, I have to switch off the personal life.
"I can just about squeeze in a phone call at lunchtime, but anything else I just can't deal with. It's a bit of an escapism thing, actually. Things complicated at home? Get a job! Go off somewhere else and pretend I'm someone else."
