Amy Winehouse was a music legend known for her powerful voice and soulful songs, but her personal life often overshadowed her musical talent. One of the most tumultuous relationships in her life was with Blake Fielder-Civil, her ex-husband, who is the focus of Sam Taylor Johnson’s new film, Back To Black.
Blake Fielder-Civil, a former video production assistant, and Amy had a rollercoaster relationship that inspired her second and final album, Back To Black, which received critical acclaim and won five Grammy Awards in 2008.
Despite their deep connection, their relationship was marked by hard drug use and infidelity. They eventually divorced in 2009 on grounds of adultery, a decision that Amy admitted to.
Tragically, Amy Winehouse passed away in 2011 at the young age of 27 from alcohol poisoning. Blake Fielder-Civil reflected on what would have been her 40th birthday in 2023, expressing his sadness and regret over their past.
After their divorce, Blake went on to have a brief relationship with Sarah Aspin, with whom he had a son and a daughter. Their relationship was rocky, with Blake battling substance abuse issues and facing near-death experiences.
In the wake of Amy’s passing, Blake shared his deep sorrow and regret for their turbulent relationship. He often speaks about the impact Amy had on his life and how he thinks of her constantly.
