Frances de la Tour's Ex-Husband

In an interview back in 2013, de la Tour revealed the time she and Tom crossed paths with one another.

"I was really independent very young, and got a flat in Notting Hill Gate in the 60s when I was 23. I tended to live on my own, though I had boyfriends. A girlfriend did come to stay; I found her very irritating. Then I met my ex-husband, Tom [Kempinski] and I had my first child there. I was there for about seven and a half years, and I didn’t even know it was swinging, but apparently it was. I thought, “Hang on, they’re walking around in kaftans, can’t blame them.” When Ab Fab was on, my daughter decided that I was a mixture of Edina and Patsy."

She continued,

"I’ve known most of my closest friends from when I was a child, but I couldn’t live with any of them. I think I’m just impossible because there’s nothing about them where I could say that they were irritating. My boyfriends and husband always told me that I was sort of impossible really. But I knew they loved me very much."

De la Tour also revealed that she still was in touch with her ex-husband, Tom. She stated

"I speak to my ex-husband about dying. It’s like we’re on parole, isn’t it?"

Similarly, she was once married to David Godman in 1968, which also ended in a divorce. No significant details about the relationship between de la Tour and David have ever been revealed.

The relationship remains a mystery to the fans and the public. 

So does the legendary woman have no further plans to get married?

Frances de la Tour opened up about her will to work until she dropped. In her own words,

“Oh, there is.” It’s a very strange feeling. About five years ago, I remember saying to the children, “I don’t want to work any more, I’m going to stop now, I’ve had enough. I’ve paid my dues. I’ve spent 45 years on the boards, mainly the stage, and it’s a long time."

She then added,

"Then the next acting job I did I thought, “Well, this is wonderful.” It wasn’t actually so much even just missing the audience; it was the comradeship, it was the colleagues at work. Now I’ve decided that I’m going to work until I drop, because it’s very good for me to go to work. It won’t be a question of whether I will give up work, it will give me up. I’d like to just keep going, even if it’s just a tiny part of an old lady in whatever it is."

Adding on, she has a son and a daughter, who remain out of the limelight. Moreover, when we take a look at her family, she is the daughter of Charles de la Tour and the sister of Andy de la Tour.
