YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Celebrity Anna Richardson opens up on heartbreak following split from Sue Perkins By Georgia Green - May 16, 2022 Heartbreak is something we have all experienced at some point or another – even celebrities. TV presenter Anna Richardson has recently been opening up on her thoughts on heartbreak, after her eight-year relationship with fellow TV presenter Sue Perkins ended last year. REX ‘No one can ever prepare you for it,’ Anna Richardson told The Mirror. ‘Even when it happens a handful of times in your life, you never quite get used to it.’ The Naked Attraction presenter continued: ‘I suppose I don’t know whether you become more resilient as you get older, but heartbreak definitely is still that mystery that needs to be solved, and how to get over it and become stronger.’ Although they’d known each other for years beforehand, Anna and Sue didn’t begin dating until 2013 when they met at a Halloween party after Anna had split from her partner of 18 years, Charles Martin. REX Speaking of that night, Anna told The Telegraph in 2015: ‘When I was invited to the party, I was told Sue would be going and I felt, what, a frisson? A spark of interest? And I thought: “Hmm, that’s interesting”. There was something in the air. ‘It was an extraordinary night. I was dancing on the table. It felt like a defining moment in my life.’ Of that same night, Sue once said: ‘There was something sort of magical in the air, absolutely there was, we have a real laugh, and that’s what I want, I want joy in my life and I’m lucky to have it in abundance.’ REX Since then, Anna has spoken publicly about wanting to start a family, although has always been clear that she can only speak for herself on the matter. In 2020, Anna told Hello! magazine that lockdown had ‘focussed her mind’ on the things she still ‘really wanted to do.’ ‘For some time I’ve toyed with the idea of fostering or adopting a child,’ she said. ‘I can only speak for myself, not Sue, but I really want to do the training [to foster] and welcome a child into my life. ‘I feel keenly that I’m getting older, that time is running out. With the Covid-19 pandemic on top of this, it’s focused my mind on the things I still want to do.’ RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR 50 of the best celebrity Halloween costumes of all time Shirley Ballas ‘ Strictly gave me back my hope’ Davina McCall discusses how men can help women going through the menopause Popular in Celebrity TV chef Gino D Acampo on Sardinia Sophia Loren and scary salads May 25, 2017 The Evergreen Goddess Exercise guru Diana Moran on looking fit and July 10, 2017 More more Julianne Moore November 13, 2017 Author Jill Mansell on designer notebooks commissioning art and the family January 16, 2018 EMOTIONAL TIES Kelly Hoppen on vodka vintage finds and being a April 4, 2018 ‘ I have no regrets’ Millie Mackintosh on divorce debt and reuniting May 20, 2018 EMOTIONAL TIES TV presenter and tennis player Annabel Croft shares her July 1, 2018 Stella Parton ‘ Dolly and I have always been close’ August 12, 2018 Anna Friel on getting jeered in the street shared parenting with September 23, 2018 Queen of primetime Charlotte Riley on juggling rising stardom with pregnancy October 21, 2018 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
