Alfie Boe: 'Can't Tell Truth' About Divorce Trauma

Alfie Boe, the renowned opera singer, has shared candid details about the severe emotional toll his 2020 divorce from Sarah took on him. The separation after 16 years of marriage led Boe to a "really dark place," a struggle he is now openly discussing to help others. Boe revealed that his distress following the split culminated in a drug overdose, an event that necessitated a five-week stay in a rehabilitation facility.

Following the divorce, Boe's two children, Grace and Alfie, moved to the US with their mother in 2020. Boe explained that while it was difficult, he felt it was the right decision as the children missed America and their friends. The couple had resided in the Cotswolds since 2018, previously living in the United States. The pandemic in 2020 proved to be a catalyst for their separation.

Boe met Sarah, a Shakespearean actress, in 2002. He confirmed his new romance last year with Elizabeth Worth, 29. Previously, he had a discreet relationship with "Ted Lasso" star Hannah Waddingham two years prior, which they kept private, even managing to keep Boe backstage during Eurovision.
