Joanna Page: Marriage 'Rubbish' & 4 Years Apart
23 Feb
Summary
- Joanna Page spent four years sleeping in a separate bed from husband.
- Page admits 26-year marriage had 'rubbish' parts and 'massive arguments'.
- The couple co-hosts a podcast exploring their relationship.
Actress Joanna Page, known for her role in Gavin & Stacey, has candidly discussed the realities of her 26-year marriage to husband James Thornton. Page revealed that significant portions of their relationship have been difficult, even detailing a period of four years where they slept in separate beds.
Page attributes these struggles to clashes between her 'manic, impulsive and fiery' nature and Thornton's 'Northern, measured' temperament, leading to frequent 'massive arguments.' She contrasts their approach with younger couples who may end relationships more quickly.
Despite the arguments, the couple has sustained their marriage by growing together. They now share insights into their union, including intimate details, on their podcast Lush!, which they co-host. Page likens the podcast experience to 'couples' therapy,' noting its benefit in reconnecting them.
Joanna Page is also involved with The National Lottery Open Week, running from March 7-15. This campaign offers ticket holders free entry and discounts to hundreds of UK venues, highlighting 'hidden gems' across the country and supporting good causes.
