Filed under: Anglophilia > Love Line

tilda__opt1.jpg

It's no secret that 47 year old Oscar winner, married with kids thespian Tilda Swinton has a little something something on the side with German painter Sandro Kopp, aged 29.

She does him and the hubby don't mind!

Turns out that Swinton's husband, writer John Byrne, has also been engaged in extracurricular activities for the past 2 years as well - with Tilda's blessing.

How progressive!

Byrne told the British media, "Tilda knows all about it and is more than happy with the situation. It's all very relaxed and very amicable. She has Sandro and the arrangement works very well."

He also said that despite his special relationship, he and Tilda are still very much a couple.

Crazy, crazy, but if it works for them, so be it!

    They're a polyamorous couple and I personally don't see anything wrong with it if all parties involved know what's going on. My best friends are polys and although I am strictly dickly with my man - I do not judge. It works for them and they are all happy. So goes the world.

    Polyamory is the way to go! Everyone gets everything they want and need. I would kill for a relationship like that, except for a couple more girls in the mix for me would be awesome

    She looks good for a pale 47 year old. I would expect far more winkles especially on her neck.
    I guess keeping your held buried inside of a coarse hair taco twat does wonders for the complexion.

    Progessive you say?? How about immoral? Arn't people confident enough to stand up for themselves and be in a relationship that does not involve outside participants. Perez…you promote everything that is crass and nasty. How can you respect yourself or expect anyone to respect you?

  21. cc cum says – reply to this


    21

    These relationships only work when they are kept private!!! Why, oh why, bring it into the public eye?? Does everyone do everything for the gratification of the masses?? Is there no decency allowed in our most private matters? This world has truly gone mad with it's desire to put everything out there for mass consumption.

    As long as they both agree and they are at peace and happy, I am sure that it can be ok….
    -
    However, most (if not all) human beings don't have the ability to emotionally allow that into their lives… Thus, they are monogamists their entire lives — it is just way easier on the mental/emotional and psychological part existence.
    -
    And to make comment, someone mentioned about bringing this sort of thing public, society has a way to make this less than an acceptable approach to relationship… they are way more accepting of divorce than this.

    SCANDALOUS

  31. Titz says – reply to this


    31

    I say yea!! People that believe they can be faithful and stay with the 1 person, great. But the rest of us know that is not gonna happen. If U R happy and everybody is respectful of the actual marriage or relationship…get 'er done!! It's like the rule of sex-U never stay with the first person U fuck, it'll never work. U'll always wonder. Why go thru that…fuck and get fucked!! Once U find the one that can break yo muthafucking back, THEN u make the decision. IF U still decided to go out of the relationship, it's a decision U both made and not something U did because the sex at home wasn't all that great!

  32. kathle says – reply to this

    and thats how most relationships should be!!

    what tilda really needs is some eyebrows. there, i said it–you know everyone was thinking it. and would it kill her to tint her lashes or put on some mascara?

  34. lily says – reply to this


    34

    I really don't understand this. You get married to someone to be with THEM forever. Why be married if you aren't satisfied with your husband why not get a divorce.. gaAAAAAAAH

  35. Joanna says – reply to this


    35

    Ok, no one else is going to say it? Ok, I will….

    I can't believe one guy would fuck her, let alone 2 GUYS…dang that girl is ug.

  36. Lucy says – reply to this


    36

    Why get married then?

  37. lily says – reply to this


    37

    Re: Titz – what do you mean you know that's not true- the only reason so many people cheat is because they aren't really in love with that person. if you are deeply in love you will be happy your whole life with someone. i know many couples that have been together their whole lives and only have 1 love- the other person.

    true love is everything.

  38. keira says – reply to this


    38

    if you're truly in love the sex will be amazing forever.

    It's not gays who are undermining the sanctity of marriage, it's people like this. They obviously have psychological issues.

    Why bother getting married….and what the hell does Sandro see in her? Hideous! Put on some f….ing mascara!

    If you go to Sandros website and click on "people 2" you can see his painting of her. He thinks she needs some makeup too!

    It's really hard to find one partner who has all inclusive. So sometimes two get it right. Of course, it's better if one has all, but that doesn't happen too often. And besides - it's practical. But there are not many people who do it and let the partner do as well.

    Re: aurora – I hate to tell you this, but the Daily Mail also jacks stories from blogs. They ran a story about Brad Pitt's new tattoo (around May 13th) that they STOLE from a gossip blog. They've been accused of it many times and many the times the accusations have proved true.

    Tilda is a wonderfully eccentric noncomformist. What's it to any of you that two consenting, like-minded adults have an open relationship? They are supportive and honest with each other. They seem happy with their arrangement. In a world full of life-threatening things to be unhappy about, why get your knickers in a twist over a couple who found a way to contentedly live their lives on their own unique terms?

  71. Great! says – reply to this


    71

    A marriage is composed of two people who both still have the need to grow as individuals. After a long time as a couple, the option for growth is more limited, even though the couple may still love each other. One way of continuing individual growth is through finding outside interests, relationships, friendships, or love, with other people. It seems like Tilda and her husband have found an arrangement that works for them, while still acknowledging their bond through their marriage and long-term partnership. People, and love itself, are always changing, and that needs to be respected. This is not always the case in marriages, which so often end up in failure. I believe this is one possibility for the future of love, and my hat is off to this progressive couple.

    They are not POLYAMOROUS. She and the father of her children have a platonic relationship, though they keep residence together. They sleep with their respective lovers, not each other. Just thought I'd point that out. My understanding from articles is that it's for their children's sake. They are a "couple", just not your typical couple.

    Re: yeagerRe: stl – Numbers 75/52. "Tilda" is a woman (Matilda).
    "Sandro" is a man (Alesandro).
    And incidentally there is an island named England across the Atlantic. And a whole continent of countries on the other side of that. Cities and countries two thousand years old. People who speak different languages, and have different cultures. Check them out sometime. Read about them. You'll be amazed.

    I love my husband but he cannot be a woman and he's okay allowing that part of me that needs a woman. So long as the other person in my life understands he is still number 1. No it's not conventional but life is never black and white, there are shades of grey. I would never espouse it for others but do not force me to live like you either. BTW we do nothave kids and yeah I would guess that would cause some confusion. Depends on how discreet they are.

    I fell in like with Tilda Swinton when I saw her in Orlando (the Movie) in 1992. She is exquisitely and strikingly beautiful. It was beautiful, and reminded me of Prospero's Books (after Shakespeare's "The Tempest") with Sir John Gielgud. I saw The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, And Her Lover—at about the same time. They were really making some good art films at that time.
    Tilda was a contemporary and acquaintance of Princess Diana. And is from one of the oldest families of Scotland. She is a member of the highest art and literary circles of Europe. The words "sophisticated" and "classy" seem plain and inadequate when trying to describe this 21st century Lady.
