(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Sadie Frost says meeting her ex-husband Jude Law felt like finding a missing part of her body.

The actress-and-designer met Jude on the set of Shopping, while Sadie was still married to Spandau Ballet star Gary Kemp. Sadie later divorced Gary and tied the knot with Jude in 1997. They had three children together before divorcing in 2003. Sadie has revealed details about the union in her new autobiography Crazy Days and says the handsome actor was the love of her life.

Even though they are now divorced and Jude is believed to be engaged to Sienna Miller, Sadie insists they have remained friends for the sake of their kids.

“I did a screen test with Jude and straightaway there was some kind of really intense attraction. I thought he was lovely and I did everything I could to resist any kind of temptation,” Sadie said in an interview on British television show This Morning. “I wanted to stay in my marriage but there was something that was drawing me towards Jude and I made a spontaneous decision and my relationship with Gary broke down and me and Jude got together.

“I loved Gary a lot, but when I met Jude it was like we were meant to be together. I felt like I had found another part of my body. He was just an amazing man and a great father, we are still great friends.”

The 45-year-old star insists she was blissfully happy with Jude until she began suffering from post-natal depression. When the couple’s eldest son, Rafferty, was born in 1996, Sadie says she struggled with motherhood and felt “ashamed” for not being happier.

Sadie sought medical advice, but then began self-harming to distract herself from the “mental pain” she was experiencing.

She has partly blamed her depression on her difficult relationship with her father when she was growing up.

“I had Rafferty and I had all this amazing lifestyle, the baby and the husband. I had just had this heavy feeling pressing on me, I felt like I was being sucked down into the sofa,” she explained. “I was feeling in a lot of pain, really uncomfortable. It was really very chemical and hormonal. I felt out of my depth and I couldn’t cope with simple things. I was kind of ashamed for feeling like that, I felt I should be happy to have a baby and be able to cope. I think I had to deal with a lot of the demons from my childhood.
