Anna Friel: Gracie "Unscathed" By Parents' Split

Actress Anna Friel and Harry Potter star David Thewlis may have called it quits last year, but in a new interview the Pushing Daisies beauty says she will "always love" her former flame.

"We were together for 10 years and I'll always love him very much," Anna tells Stylist magazine, adding, "He's a dear, dear man and we're great parents. He's always got his eye on Gracie, as have I."

She adds that their daughter Gracie, 6, remains their top priority.

"Gracie's got that stability and as far as the break-up goes, she's unscathed by it," Anna insists. "We juggle it and Gracie is always out biggest priority and I think that's all I have to say about that."

She's now dating actor Rhys Ifans, but don't expect to hear too many details of that new romance.

"He won't talk about [the relationship] at all. Because if you don't keep something private for you, your life 's a reality program.
