Vinnie Jones has found love again following the tragic death of his childhood sweetheart Tanya.
The 59-year-old was married to Tanya for 25 years before she sadly passed away in July 2019.
Tanya suffered a long battle with skin cancer and had also undergone an emergency heart transplant at the age of 21, and been treated for cervical cancer twice.
The former footballer has now found love five years after the death of his wife.
It has been revealed that Vinnie fell for his personal assistant Emma Ford while filming his TV show Vinnie Jones In The Country.
Friends of the 59-year-old have confessed that he had been brought back to life by Emma, whom he affectionately calls “Blondie”.
On the show, which first aired on Discovery+ in November, we see Emma helping the former footballer run his farm in Petworth, West Sussex.
A source said: “Vinnie and Emma’s relationship was very organic and started as purely a working friendship before it developed into something more.”
“They’re not rushing into anything and just take every day as it comes.”
“Emma has brought the light back into Vinnie’s eyes and she clearly makes him very happy.”
“They are a great match and everyone who knows them was thrilled when they became a couple.”
Emma previously worked as a personal assistant for The Clash rockstar Mick Jones and returned to the UK after years spent working in Los Angeles.
