Spread the love

Anna Friel and Rhys Ifans own homes beside each other in Spain.
The couple have known each other for years but only started dating
last year after the ‘Pushing Daisies’ actress split from her partner
of 10 years David Thewlis – who is the father of her six-year-old
daughter Gracie – and Anna loves spending time with her new love out
of the spotlight.
She said: “We both have houses in the same part of Spain. We have done
for years – I put every penny from ‘Pushing Daisies’ into renovating a
300-year-old house out there – but we didn’t really know each other
then. But really, I think I’m giving too much detail.
“He won’t talk about [the relationship] at all. Because if you don’t
keep something private for you, your life ‘s a reality programme. We
go to a little pub or camping to Wales. I won’t put myself in that
position because I want to keep my private life private.”
Anna is smitten with Rhys and revealed she also admires his career choices.
She said: “I’ve heard he’s incredible on stage, he makes such
brilliant choices and I’m like ‘What the hell is he going to do next?’
