Vinnie Jones credits new girlfriend Emma Ford with keeping him healthy as he hails her a 'good chef' - days after couple made their first public appearance following the tragic death of his wife Tanya

As an ardent fan of Vinnie Jones, I can’t help but be moved by his remarkable journey and the latest chapter in his life. The man who once terrorized football pitches and Hollywood screens with his tough-as-nails persona now seems to have found a beacon of tranquility in Emma Ford.

Vinnie Jones attributes the maintenance of his health to his new partner, Emma Ford, whom he describes as an excellent cook.

On a notably joyful day, the former footballer-cum-tough guy, aged 59, seemed more content than ever before, as they stepped out together for their initial public event at his premiere of “Only Fools and Horses” in the West End, held at the Eventim Apollo.

At the show, which continues until January 5th, Vinnie shared a glimpse into his life with Emma by explaining how she maintains his wellbeing.

In response to being questioned about his fitness, Vinnie shared that what maintains his lean figure isn’t regular workouts, but instead a balanced diet.

He told TopMob: ‘I just watch my food. I don’t eat crap – I eat healthy’.

Then pointing to Emma, who he affectionately calls ‘Blondie’, he added: ‘and I’ve got a good chef’.

Emma, once known for her high-spirited modeling career and TV appearances on the noughties’ Men & Motors, popular among men, now leads a healthier lifestyle after giving up alcohol following decades of work and socializing in LA. Meanwhile, her current partner has achieved 12 years of sobriety.

In 2022, when Vinnie hired Emma as his personal assistant, this pair developed a romantic connection. On their recent social outing, they appeared deeply affectionate. Vinnie gently put an arm around Emma, while she tenderly touched his chest, expressing her concern and care.

The new couple were brought together by the pandemic and Vinnie’s farm in West Sussex – and she also became a star of the documentary series about his new rural life that aired on Discovery+ last November. 

In 1994, Vinnie got married to his beloved wife, Tanya. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2013. The cancer eventually reached her brain and took her life six years later in 2019.

Last month, the TV star revealed that Emma had ‘promised his late wife Tanya she would look after him’ – as he admitted she wouldn’t want him to be alone. 

He shared that she told him she had spoken with Tanz and indicated, “I’ll take care of him for you.” This moment stood out significantly for him.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, I shared that Tanya would’ve wished for me to find happiness and move on by finding a new companion.

He said: ‘I’m at peace because does she want you to be on your own? No, because you’re not going to be happy.’

In 1994, I had the privilege of becoming a stepfather to my long-time neighbor Tanya’s little girl, Kaylee, when we exchanged our vows.

But tragically she was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, and later died at the age of 53 in 2019.

Vinnie and Tanya were as unlike each other as night and day, yet their tale of love was nothing short of remarkable.

He was once a tough football player who transitioned to acting, known for his love of tattoos and a temper that can be quite volatile. This temper has led him to bite noses, handle guns (both at himself and others), and engage in numerous fights on the football field, in bars, and even on airplanes.

Yet, Tanya was not the target of his anger – in fact, she had previously been praised by Vinnie for ‘rescuing him’.

He remarked that Tanya provides him with his strength. She’s been instrumental in providing him with steadiness, and he feels it’s his duty to support her. In his eyes, she’s an extraordinary individual. They’re a well-suited pair, and he considers himself fortunate to have found her.
