Rhona Gemmell is a sculptor and a pilates instructor, mainly famous as an ex-spouse of actor and comedian Robbie Coltrane.
Her marriage to Coltrane only lasted for four years
Gemmell was an 18-year-old student when she first met Coltrane on Christmas Eve in 1988.
They dated for years before getting married in 1999, but their marriage was short-lived as they divorced four years later in 2003.
It was the toughest year for Coltrane as he was completely heart-broke with the split, and at the same time, Coltrane started battling with osteoarthritis, which caused him constant pain.
He said in an interview that he had an exploratory operation and discovered that he had no cartilage left in one of his knees.
It's completely disintegrated, he said at the time.
There was a rumor of their reconciliation in 2008, but Coltrane later moved on with his girlfriend, whose name he never mentioned.

My children have grown off during it, of course, he said with eyes full of tears.
