The Cuckoo star’s partner Matt died of a heart attack in 2017
Jill Halfpenny has opened up about finding love again after the tragic and untimely passing of her partner Matt Janes, who died of a sudden heart attack in 2017. The Cuckoo actress opened up about her new relationship back in June on The One Show whilst promoting her new memoir, A Life Reimagined, which explores “love, loss and life after tragedy”.
“When you lose a partner, a romantic relationship, it can sometimes feel like betrayal if you move on,” explained Jill.
“It’s not, you absolutely are allowed to be happy again, but I think if you do the processing and the healing and do the work, you can go into another relationship and be happy again. But if you haven’t done that work, there will always be a part of you somewhere else.”
She continued: “I fortunately feel that I do deserve to be happy and I do feel happy, and it’s really nice to be in love again.”
