Personal life

On 1 May 1976, Tomelty married musician Sting – best known as the lead singer and bassist for the rock band The Police – after knowing him for two years. They met on the set of a rock-musical called Rock Nativity.[3] She played the Virgin Mary; he played in the band. They have two children together, Joseph and Kate.[4] Tomelty and Sting divorced in 1984[5] following Sting's affair with actress Trudie Styler.[6] The split was controversial. As The Independent reported in 2006, Tomelty "just happened" to be Styler's best friend; "Sting and Frances lived next door to Trudie in Bayswater, west London, for several years" before Sting and Styler began their relationship.[7]
