Awww! It is always fun reading about a couple that knew right from their first encounter that they were destined to be together. Actress Thandie Newton is a true romantic who knew right away that English writer and producer Ol Parker was “the one.”
In an interview for the December issue of UK InStyle magazine, Thandie said, “He wrote a screenplay called In Your Dreams that I filmed in 1997. It’s very unusual to have writers around on set because directors don’t want them there. But they love having Ol around. He was on the set every day and I fell madly in love with him…”
Newton had never experienced such a love. In fact the second she met Ol she broke up with her then boyfriend, who she described as a sweet and lovely man, even though she wasn’t yet dating Ol.
Obviously Thandie was right about her feelings. The couple dated for two years before marrying 11 years ago and have two daughters, Ripley and Nico.
