Stars On stranger’s misfortune: how Sting destroyed his marriage for true love

Sting and Styler’s relationship was not without controversy, but they managed to build an enviable marriage.

Sting, born Gordon Summer, met Trudy in 1977 when they met by chance on the street in the London Borough of Bayswater, where they both lived. At the time, Sting was married to Irish actress Frances Tomelty and they had just had their first child. Styler was not only a neighbor of the couple, but also a close friend of Tomelty – they had previously starred together in Macbeth.

Sting was not yet a world-famous musician at that time. He had just formed The Police, who were trying to break into the musical Olympus, trying to combine a career with a family life with a newborn child.

Exactly how Sting and Styler started dating is unknown. So far, both of them do not think that the situation has developed beautifully, and therefore do not like to talk about this topic as a sign of respect for all participants in the drama. But the romantic relationship is believed to have started in 1982.

Although, by their own admission, they both fell in love at first sight.

“She had pale pale green eyes and a bleached strip of scar on her left cheek that curled like the violent memory of an animal’s claw. Strangely enough, the scar did not detract from her beauty, because she seemed to me like a crippled angel, ”recalled Sting in his autobiography.

The novel developed behind the back of the singer’s legal wife. In 1983, Trudy was already pregnant with Sting and accompanied him on a world tour.

In 1984, their daughter Bridget Michael was born, and in the same year Sting officially divorced Tomelty. At that time they already had two children.

The relationship between the actress and the musician did not cause public understanding for a long time. Sting’s betrayal, Trudy’s affair with her friend’s husband – all these are not the best circumstances to convince others that you are made for each other.

“None of us are proud of what happened — it just happened,” Styler said.

Sting and Trudy stoically endured side views and criticism – they did not register their relationship for 10 years and decided to get married only in 1992. The celebration was held in Wiltshire, England. Trudy arrived at the ceremony on horseback, led by her now-husband in a gold embroidered Versace gown.

The couple had three more children: only one child – the youngest son Giacomo appeared in an official marriage, the other two were born during the civil relations of the parents.

Strangely, Sting never dreamed of having a big family, but emphasized that the birth of children was the “happiest event” in his life.

“I never intended to be a father. I happened to be a dad six times – that’s how smart I am,” joked Sting in an interview with People magazine.

In 2022, Trudy and Sting celebrated 30 years of marriage and 40 years of marriage. During this time, they have already managed to become grandparents and are still happy as a couple.

The rocker himself admitted that their long marriage was “some kind of miracle” and explained the success by the fact that they were not only lovers, but also friends.

“Love is passion and all that, but actually loving someone and enjoying someone’s company is a little different and takes longer,” he admitted.

Spouses give each other personal space, respect each other as separate individuals, give each other the freedom to be themselves, and when they are together again, their feelings for each other are electrifying.
