Colin Firth's personal life

Colin Firth, born on September 10, 1960, in Grayshott, Hampshire, England, to academic and teaching parents, embarked on a fascinating journey from his early years. The family's relocations, including stints in Nigeria and St. Louis, Missouri, shaped his childhood, which he has described as challenging. Firth attended the Montgomery of Alamein Secondary School upon returning to England but despite his parents' scholarly background, he discovered his passion for acting early on, joining the National Youth Theatre at 14. William later followed in his father's footsteps, appearing alongside him in "Bridget Jones's Baby" in 2016.

In 1989, Firth entered a relationship with his "Valmont" co-star Meg Tilly, and they welcomed a son in 1990. The relationship with Tilly ended in 1994. Subsequently, in 1997, Firth married Italian film producer Livia Giuggioli. The couple has two sons, Luca and Matteo. Their family life involved dividing time between Wandsworth, London, and Umbria, Italy. However, their union faced challenges, and in 2019, it was publicly disclosed that Giuggioli had an affair with an Italian journalist, leading to their separation.
