Sarah Aspin death: Partner of Amy Winehouse’s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil dies aged 47
Sarah Aspin, the other woman in the love triangle that included Amy Winehouse and her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, has died. She was 47.
Aspin had begun dating Fielder-Civil in 2011, two years after his marriage to Winehouse had ended in divorce. He and Winehouse met and began dating in 2005, married in 2007, and divorced in 2009.
The news of Aspin’s death was confirmed by her daughter, Melody-Rose Hampshire, who left a tribute online.

“No words at all. Love you so mum,” she wrote, “May you rest in eternal peace my beautiful mum.
“Doesn’t seem real. Just want you here and speak to you about your crazy antics.”
Aspin’s cousin Leanne Eastwood added, “Sweet dreams to my beautiful cousin Sarah Aspin. Hope you finally found peace. Till we meet again gutted – feeling sad.”

As per The Sun, Aspin’s body was discovered at a property in the village of Swillington in Leeds on Saturday February 7 (Sunday February 8 in Australia).
A police spokesman told the outlet, “Officers were called to an address in Primrose Hill Drive at 6.38am following a concern for safety report.
“A woman was treated by paramedics at the scene but died a short time later. Her death is currently being treated as unexplained.”
A man was found on the property and was taken into custody by police, though it was for an offence not related to Aspin’s death. Police and forensic specialists remained at the scene until Sunday evening local time.
Aspin met Fielder-Civil when they were both in rehab, and they went on to have two children together. They are believed to have separated in 2018.
Aspin made her claim over Fielder-Civil very clear when Winehouse was still alive, even warning her to “keep her hands off” her man and telling her, “He is mine and we are a family now.”
Days after her warning, and as Fielder-Civil began a 32-month prison sentence for burglary and a firearm offence, Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning on July 23, 2011, aged 27.
Aspin spoke publicly about Fielder-Civil’s reaction to Winehouse’s death.
“Blake rang me on Saturday after the prison authorities told him she’d died. I just couldn’t console him. He was in total shock,” she said at the time.
She had visited him in a private room and recalled how he was going through continuous sobbing fits over Winehouse’s death and his inability to save her.
“He is devastated and shattered. He just can’t take it in that she’s dead and he’ll never see her again,” Aspin said.
“Blake is the father of our son. But I saw him and Amy together and I know they were really in love and they were soulmates.

Amy Winehouse: Her life in pictures
“She always loved him and he always loved her – but it was just never going to work. Basically they couldn’t live with each other and they could not live without each other.
“It is hard for me knowing he still loved her, but I do understand his feelings.”
She added, “I think Amy could not get over the fact that Blake and I had had our son Jack. I think it hit her pretty hard.
“She would have made a fantastic mum, though, despite all her problems. What’s happened is so tragic – an absolute waste.”
