Scandalous Lady


I think Keeley is such a beautiful actress and she comes across as so classy in Upstairs Downstairs, but when I went on to read her wikipedia page I found her personal life pretty scandalous.

It says she had a son before marrying her first husband, then married him and left him 8 weeks later in 2004 for Matthew McFadyen. That means she was having an affair from the start of that marriage. Then in November 2004 she married M and had his baby in December, 2 months later. That means she was pregnant in March 2004, so if she met M in 2004 she must've hooked up with him and gotten pregnant like the first 1-3 months of knowing him. That's crazy!

Does anyhow know more details?

It says here on IMDB that she married her 1st husband in 2001 and they separated after 5 months. They did have a son together in 2000. Maybe the divorce didn't become final until 2004, but they were not together for a couple of years before then.

She and MacFadyen met when they starred together on Spooks (AKA MI-5) which started in 2002.

Well I think I also saw an interview that said something like it was 8 weeks after marriage that she left him. Either way a LOT happened in 1 short year (2004) - she left her husband, got with Matthew and had a baby in the same year.

Your version would make way more sense and be a little less harsh - that they had been separated and she met Matthew in 2002 - then at least maybe they dated some time before bringing a life into the world.

I like Keeley, she seems a nice lady and so in love with Matthew, it makes my heart melt, cause I'm a new Matthew Macfadyen fan and wish the best marriage for him. However, I do not like it when people leave their husbands for the sake of another. This might imply that they can do it again, when somebody more dazzling will catch their eye.

But, however, sometimes we are caught in a bad relationship. I read in her pre-Macfadyen interivew that she likes being married (to the first husband) because it gives her a sense of stability. She said, that before the marriage, when they used to argue, she would think - ok, that's it, I'm off. But then they married, and now she can't be off like that. Seems then like the marriage was really problematic and a mistake, and these people didn't suit each other. In this case, leaving such a marriage was the right choice, and meeting Macfadyen only sped the matter. Or really decided her fate, cause maybe she would stay anyway and just be unhappy. So I guess I apploud her on taking her destiny in her hands and making the change, cause at least up until now, they seem to have a wonderful marriage with Matthew.

Wow, who really cares? A beautiful woman has an active social life and someone on several big TV shows may be a bit spontaneous. Stop the presses.

LiveForever00,

You're quite the Nosy Parker, aren't you? A regular Nancy Drew. The salacious clap-trap you unearthed on wiki has nothing to do with Kelley Hawes' talent or acting career. Crap posts such as yours do not elevate this board; they only serve to drag it down to the level of titillating tabloid trash. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
