star Emilia Fox has opened up after speculation mounted that she had married partner Jonathan Stadlen.
The 50-year-old recently revealed that TV producer Jonathan asks her to marry him “constantly,” but she repeatedly says no.
However, the couple decided to buy “very ordinary wedding rings” last year as a “sign of love”.
Emilia says it prompted news reports saying the pair had “secretly” married. Her friends even quizzed the star about not being invited to the supposed wedding, .
Emilia insists the rings were “inexpensive” and simply a way to celebrate their relationship. Speaking to Woman’s Weekly, she said: “The rings got seen by the press and some people thought we’d gone off on some sort of secret wedding. We hadn’t.”

The star, who lives in London with Jonathan and her 14-year-old daughter Rose, whom she shares with former partner Jeremy Gilley, was previously married to Jared Harris for five years.
She says finding love with Jonathan is “amazing” but the couple “work hard” at it.
Speaking to Woman&Home magazine, she said: “When you reach a certain age and have experiences – I’ve been living my own way with Rose for a long time – you have to keep working on communication and working out what we’re bringing to this relationship in our histories.
“The good things but also the bad things and how to work that out together.”

She says Jonathan’s daily proposals are “very romantic” but admits she is still resisting walking down the aisle for a second time. She added: “Jonathan asks me to marry him every single day but we’re not officially married.
“Just saying we love each other each day has been enough for us in this moment. It has felt very romantic because there’s a choice every day to go, ‘Yes, I really want to marry you today.’”
Emilia has starred as Dr Nikki Alexander in Silent Witness for 21 years now. The show focuses on a team of forensic pathologists with Emilia starring alongside David Caves who plays Jack Hodgson.
