I sort of ignored Jamie Dornan’s wife Amelia Warner during the Fifty Shades of Grey promotional tour the last few weeks. Amelia was around, of course, and she walked several of the red carpets with Jamie, but most sites just ran the photos of Jamie, Dakota Johnson, Sam Taylor Johnson and EL James. It was also pretty clear that EL, Dakota and Sam were coordinating their looks for every red carpet and Amelia wasn’t invited to participate. Is that weird? Eh. In any case, Jamie and Amelia seemed pretty tight. They have a 14-month-old baby and Jamie has said lovely things about his wife and his family life in all of his interviews. But Star Magazine says it’s all a ruse! Their sources say Amelia is struggling with Jamie’s newfound fame and omnipresence.
Christian Grey may be used to getting what he wants, but Jamie Dornan isn’t so lucky. The Fifty Shades of Grey actor has been on cloud nine since landing the coveted role, but he’s having a hard time balancing his sexy new image with his quiet home life. Star has learned that Jamie’s wife, musician Amelia Warner, has developed major trust issues since the movie’s hype began, and their marriage could be headed for some serious trouble!
Jamie has been spending much of his time in the spotlight bragging about his gorgeous wife and their 14-month-old daughter, Dulcie, and although his rep denies any trouble, close sources to the Northern Irish actor say his constant gushing is just a cover-up for their increasing tension.
“Amelia didn’t love the idea of him doing such a sexually charged movie,” explains an insider. “But he said it would skyrocket his career. He tried to assure her nothing would change between them.”
But on the heels of the film’s box-office-record-breaking Valentine’s Day release, Amelia still isn’t on board. “Women all over the world now lust after Jamie,” the pal adds. “It upsets her to know that she has quietly sit by and watch him receive all this unwanted attention.”
For now, friends of the pair say there’s been no talk of an official split, especially because their daughter is so young “Jamie is desperate to keep his family together,” the insider reveals. “He’s trying to placate Amelia by talking so sweet about her in the press.”
But only time will tell if his tactics will work. “They’ve had several fights about him choosing his career over her,” the pal dishes. “And the fact that he’s already signed on for two more movies could prove to be the final straw.”
It really wouldn’t surprise me either way, you know? I think this kind of sudden stardom/media attention would be difficult for any couple to weather, and if Amelia is having adjustment issues, she wouldn’t be the first. But I kind of buy it when Jamie says nice things about his family – I really do believe that he adores his wife and baby and that he’s still racked with insecurities about his acting career. Jamie’s rep went to Gossip Cop and said this story is “utter rubbish” for what it’s worth.
