Sienna Miller talks to Vogue about being pregnant with her second child and her relationship with her boyfriend, who is 14 years her junior.
Sienna Miller, 41, speaks in a new interview with “Vogue” about the pregnancy with her second child and the relationship with her boyfriend Oli Green, 27, who is 14 years her junior.
The actress admits in the interview: “I would like to get to a point where I no longer feel the need to make fun of myself for being older and having a baby.” At the time of the interview, Miller was 28 weeks pregnant with her second child – a girl, it has now been revealed. The father is her boyfriend, 27-year-old actor Oli Green.
Shared Covid accelerated intimacy
The two met in 2021. The first kiss is said to have happened quickly, but Miller initially didn’t want to get involved in a relationship, as she now says. “I thought: This is absurd! But then he tried very hard to persuade me to go out for a drink with him.” She also invited her good friend Emily Blunt, 40, to the date, which turned out to be an “unnecessary security measure.” The “intimacy accelerated” after a shared corona illness, which the two spent together.
“I don’t think you can legislate in matters of the heart. At least I’ve never been able to do that,” she tells Vogue about the age difference. As for the possibility that her boyfriend might eventually want to be with someone younger, Miller explains that this insecurity goes “both ways.” “It’s real to Oli that I might want to be with someone older,” she explains.
Sienna Miller: Gen Z has a developed awareness of relationship dynamics
Miller also notes that Generation Z has a more developed awareness of the relationship dynamics between men and women. Growing up, she said she felt like she had to “dodge the bullets” and “move in a really delicate way” so as not to offend anyone. The women of this generation would no longer accept that, thinks Miller.
The actress admits that she also has to struggle with her own prejudices about her relatively late pregnancy. The fact that she recently posed heavily pregnant with a bare stomach on the red carpet of a “Vogue” event was therefore not a given. “I was nervous at the thought of it, but once I had it on, everything else was boring.”
This is Sienna Miller’s second pregnancy. Her first daughter, Marlowe, 11, comes from her relationship with her ex Tom Sturridge, 38. The two were a couple from 2011 to 2015.
