The couple divorced in 1995. Branagh was revealed to have had an affair with the Harry Potter star
Emma Thompson admitted that she was completely blindsided by her ex-husband Kenneth Branagh’s affair with “scandal rock” Helena Bonham Carter.
In fact, Thompson admitted that when she found out, she felt unloved. The 63-year-old actress married her husband in 1989, just two years after they met, but his infidelity with Elena ended their six-year marriage in 1995.
Elena is believed to have started a relationship with Kenneth in 1994 and their relationship lasted for around 5 years. Emma Thompson says she was “completely blindsided” by the fact her husband was having an extramarital affair with Carter.
Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh met in 1987 during the filming of the series “Fortunes of War”. They married two years later, in 1989.
The couple divorced in 1995. It was revealed that Branagh was having an affair with the Harry Potter star, with whom he had co-starred in the 1994 film ‘Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein’.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Thompson talked about filming Sense and Sensibility, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. According to the article, Thompson was “humiliated, in part, by her own stupidity” in not understanding this relationship.
“What I learned was how easy it is to be blinded by your own desire to deceive yourself,” she admitted.
