Rosamund Pike is sharing some rare comments about her “huge love affair” with director Joe Wright.

If you didn’t know, the 47-year-old Gone Girl actress and the 53-year-old filmmaker met on set of 2005′s Pride & Prejudice and got engaged, but ended their relationship in 2008 after they already had made plans to marry in Italy.

“When it falls apart, everybody thinks, ‘Oh, my God, what is it?’” the Oscar-nominated actress continued. “Must be an affair, polygamy, drug scandal. You get the benevolent pity again, all from all angles, and it is devastating. It’s utterly devastating, but it’s not devastating in any of the ways that people imagine.”

In the end, Rosamund said that she found herself in love with someone who didn’t love her “anymore.” While she admitted things were “awful” at the time, she soon realized that she was “free.”

“There are so many other templates of what life can look like for a woman,” the Saltburn actress explained. “There are so many other ways that love can look like.”

Following their split, Rosamund went on to begin in a relationship with businessman Robie Uniacke in 2009. The two share two children and are still together. Joe also found love again with Haley Bennett and they welcomed a daughter in 2018.

Also in the new interview, Rosamund looked back at working on her 2005 movie Doom, calling it one of the “worst films ever made.”
