Sienna Miller reflects on her past relationship with ex Jude Law, looking back over a decade later. The couple dated from 2003 to 2006, briefly rekindled in 2009, and finally called it quits for good a few years later. Miller now remembers the "madness and chaos" of their relationship, which was further complicated by Law's affair with his ex-wife Sadie Frost's nanny being exposed to the public.
"It drives you crazy, which is exactly what they want," she mentioned in an interview on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden. "The more you struggle, the more it boosts their sales — that British habit of enjoying tearing others down. It felt like a big party."
Miller, who is 42 years old, talked about the thrill of a successful acting career coinciding with her romance with Law, who is 51, and how it was overshadowed by the relentless media attention.
"I just started working and I was in a big film and in love with this idol, and very, very happy, but the flip side of it was so dark, so quickly,” she said.
Miller added that as a young woman, she had “very little agency” in how her story was portrayed in the press. As a result, she began drinking “too much” and going out too often, reflecting behavior she saw from other celebrities throughout the aughts.

"It was just a cycle of panic and chaos," she mentioned, referring to the situation. "Our relationship was in turmoil, everything was spiraling out of control, and it became too much to handle."
The chaos peaked when news of Law's affair became public. In a 2020 interview with the Daily Beast, Miller admitted to having no memory of the six weeks that followed.
She confessed that some people told her they had dinner together, but she couldn't recall. She was overwhelmed by everything that was happening. She was only 23 at the time. However, overcoming that situation made her feel like she could handle anything.

Law did issue a public apology directed at Miller, but that did little to quell Miller’s inner turmoil.
She told Corden, "I see other people who went through it and didn’t kind of come out the other side as well, so I’m quite proud."
Law has seven children, including three that he shares with Frost, to whom he was married before his relationship with Miller. He is currently married to Phillipa Coan.
Miller later became engaged to actor Tom Sturridge, and the two share a daughter, Marlowe, 11. She is currently dating actor Oli Green and the two welcomed a daughter in late 2023.
