Jill Halfpenny, the former EastEnders star, has found love again seven years after the tragic death of her partner Matt Janes. Matt sadly passed away at the age of 43 after he suffered a heart attack while at the gym in 2017. His untimely death brought back painful memories for Jill, as her father also died from a heart attack while playing football in 1979 when she was just four years old.
The actress, best known for her role as Kate Mitchell in the popular BBC soap, has now shared that seven years after her husband's sad death she has embarked on a new relationship with man named Ian.
Jill revealed the news in a chat with Prima Magazine, telling the outlet: "It sounds so cheesy, but I think Ian and I met at the perfect time. After Matt died, I didn't know if I'd ever meet anyone again, but Ian is my cheerleader - I know I've met somebody who I love and who loves me." The West End veteran also spoke candidly about her grief, saying that learning new ways to cope with her pain at 48 has made her a "better person." She added: "I was in my 20s when I realised a lot of my behaviour was down to this unprocessed grief. I got divorced, I stopped drinking alcohol and then it all seemed so clear the jigsaw pieces fit.
"Grief has made me a better person. Processing the grief has softened me and I've become less judgemental about myself. I am my own worst critic, but I have got better", she explained.
This inspired her to pen a memoir, titled 'A Life Reimagined', focusing on navigating through profound grief and advocating for more open conversations about it.
"There's this notion that grief shouldn't be talked about because it will be upsetting. But I need to talk about it; I want Matt in the room with me. I want to keep him alive
