“I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, sure you will. Sure you will, Charlie Big Bananas, sure you’ll be there! I’ll hold you a seat, how about that?”
“Anyway, I didn’t know this, but he basically stumbled home from the pub, set an alarm clock, booked a flight to go back to Heathrow – I think the first flight out.”
The mother-of-two mentioned: “He set his alarm for five, first flight out was seven to land into Heathrow at eight to get on the 9:30 flight to fly to LA.”
“He flew to LA with his hand luggage, jumped in a cab, told the story to the cabbie. The cabbie was like, ‘Are you sure you don’t want me to wait? I can wait for you. I can wait. That’ll be ok’. He’s like, ‘No, no! It’s good, it’s good!’”
“[He] Walked into the Beverly Hills Hotel, dropped his bag at concierge and walked in. At which point I fell off my seat. And he then proceeded to be utterly charming to everybody around the table. Everybody slightly fell in love with him. As did I. And he didn’t go home for 10 days.”
The couple bought married in Rome in September 2012 and welcomed son Milo in 2016, and son James Patrick in 2018.
