She was quick to point out that she wasn’t referring to Tom Sturridge, who she dated from 2011 to 2015 and shares daughter Marlowe, ten.
Prior to her relationship with Tom, Sienna was engaged to fellow actor Jude Law in 2004 after asking the question on Christmas Day.
He apologized to her in July of the following year for having an affair with his children’s nanny.
Sienna also had a much-discussed affair with actor Bathlazar Getty in 2008.

Reflecting on her thirties being difficult, she added, “There was a lot of anxiety. Relationships didn’t work out – I imagined getting married and having three kids, being a great mother. I love being a mother. That’s what I’m best at.’
Now Sienna is dating model Oli Green, 15 years her junior, and says: “There’s a misogyny ingrained in men my age and older that I don’t see in [the] generation below.
Sienna’s ex Tom is now in a relationship with presenter and fashion designer Alexa Chung, with the actress saying she is “very happy” for the couple.
She said, ‘It’s really beautiful. Marlowe comes home with Alexa’s sweaters that I steal. I have one upstairs.’

Speaking of her unconventional set up of co-parenting, including spending lockdown in Upstate New York with respective partners at the time, Sienna said, “I had my boyfriend at the time. And Tom’s girlfriend at the time came and… it was absolutely eccentric.
“I can’t go into detail, but the wheels came off and everything went horribly wrong.” […] “It’s going to be a fantastic piece.”
Sienna said she was “excited” to turn 40, adding: “As a young woman I was so downplayed and so insignificant, but there’s very little anyone can say to a 40-year-old woman. And I don’t give a fuck either.
“It was such a headline in my life – what people thought of me. It was so loud I believed it. Now I’m at a point where it’s absolutely none of your business.’

The actress also discussed the issue of the gender pay gap in show business and revealed how she was offered less than half of what her male counterpart would earn in a Broadway play she did several years ago.
Sienna said, “I said to the producer, who was extremely powerful, it’s not about money – it’s about honesty and respect, assuming they would come back and say, ‘Of course, of course.’ But they didn’t. They just said, “Fuck then.”
“I realized I had every right to be subsidized equally for the work I would have done.”
