16 JUNE 2003
Days after police were reportedly called to the home of Sadie Frost and Jude Law after a marital bust-up, film producer Sadie has revealed she and her husband are "best friends" despite their recent split.

"You never know what hand of cards you're going to get," she tells Red magazine. "But whatever happens, you grow from your experience… At the moment my situation is that me and Jude are best friends."

The mother-of-four – who suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her youngest child, six-month-old Rudy – has hired a nanny to help care for her four children and relies greatly on her family for emotional support. "I think maybe it put me under a lot of stress having the babies so close together," she says. "I don't know how I've managed to keep myself together and get on top of it all." She continues: "The children need to be my priority at the moment."

It was apparently the children's nanny who called police to investigate an assault at Jude and Sadie's home one morning last week. However, Scotland Yard found no evidence that the Frost French designer had been hurt, and she also declined to file a complaint against her husband.

Members of Sadie's family have since played down the headline-making row, with her father stating the incident had been "blown out of all proportion".
