Jason
Isaacs
&
Emma
Hewitt

While

Jason
Isaacs‘
character
Timothy
Ratliff
is
married
to

Parker
Posey‘s
Victoria
Ratliff
on

The
White
Lotus,
his
wife
IRL
is

Emma

Hewitt.

“Without
her,”
he
wrote
in
2020’s


The
Big
Issue, “there
is
no
me
that
I
recognize
or
would
want
to
know.”

Jason
met
the
former
documentary
filmmaker
at
the
University
of
London’s
Royal
Central
School
of
Speech
and
Drama
in
the ’80s.
At
this
point,
he
was
battling
what
he
called
a “decades-long
love
affair
with
drugs,”
which
ended
in
1998
when
he
became
sober.

“When
I
got
clean,
I
remember
my
wife
saying,
OK,
at
last,
we
can
finally
buy
a
home
and
we
can
have
kids
and
get
on
with
our
lives,”
Jason
added. “And
I
said,
actually,
darling,
I’ve
just
met
you.
What
are
you
talking
about?
She
said,
we’ve
been
together
for
10
years!
I
know,
I
said,
and
I’m
really
sorry,
but
I
feel
like
I’ve
just
been
born,
and
we
have
to
date
and
get
to
know
each
other.”

When
he
later
asked “why
she’d
want
to
be
with
someone
who
was
just
out
of
their
head
the
entire
time,”
he
continued,
she
said, “she
always
loved
who
I
really
was
and
who
I
really
could
be.”

The
couple
wed
in
2001
and
welcomed
daughters

Lily
and

Ruby.
