Alfresco star Emma Thompson has recently opened up on her ex-husband Kenneth Branagh's brief affair with actress Helena Bonham Carter in the past. Emma and Kenneth separated in 1995, and the former is currently married to Greg Wise, who is also an actor.
In an interview with the New Yorker, Emma addressed the experience she had after learning about the affair, saying that she never knew anything about the relationships Branagh reportedly shared with other women. She added:
"What I learned was how easy it is to be blinded by your own desire to deceive yourself. I was half alive. Any sense of being a lovable or worthy person had gone completely."
She said that the one person who helped her in recovery was Greg Wise. She mentioned that she "learned more" from her second marriage and recalled her mother's words, stating that the "first twenty years" are not easy.
Back in 2021, Emma Thompson spoke to The Telegraph about her marriage with Wise, describing it as "madness" and added:
"I escaped to the bush in Queensland, in the middle of nowhere, and was papped! You can't hide, so just be polite. Get on with it. Give them a smile."

Emma Thompson has been active in the film industry for many years. She is mostly known for her performance as Professor Sybill Trelawney in three films of the Harry Potter franchise.
As mentioned, Thompson is now married to Greg Wise, and they have two children together. The pair's love story goes back to 1995 when they worked together in a film titled Sense and Sensibility, as per People magazine. However, the person who contributed to bringing them together was Kate Winslet.

Greg and Emma's eldest child, Gaia Wise, is an actress, and her filmography includes projects like A Walk in the Woods. She is also active on Instagram, with around 11,000 followers. However, detailed information on the duo's second child, Tindyebwa "Tindy" Agaba, remains unknown, except that he was adopted in 2003.
