Amidst the reactions and tributes to Robbie Coltrane, who passed away at the age of 72 on October 14, 2022, let’s take a look at the life of this woman, Rhona Gemmell, to whom he was once married.

Robbie and Rhona married on 11 December 1999 and they went their separate ways in April 2003.

Here’s what else we know about Rhona Gemmell.

Meet Rhona Gemmell, Robbie Coltrane’s ex-wife

When late Harry Potter TV star Robbie Coltrane met his first wife Rhona Gemmell in December 1988, when she was a university student. Meanwhile, Robbie’s career was on the rise.

They met on Christmas Eve 1988 in a bar, where he was drinking himself through a break-up with his first love, Robin Paine. While Rhona was still a student and living with her mother, she met Coltrane, who was already a successful comedian. “People expected me to have a big, loud, blonde girl by my side. But Rhona was the first girl I met who would understand if I got up at 8am and went into the snow,” the 20-stone actor said that day.

Robbie plays the friendly giant Hagrid in Harry Potter movies, and Rhona was living in their £3 million home in a village ten miles north of Glasgow, with their two young children and two dogs. When Rhona left home with the children, she moved to a £250,000 house in Glasgow. Rhona is also said to have traded in a Mercedes given to her by her husband for a Rover. Robbie, meanwhile, is said to have been entertaining himself by spending time with his classic car collection.

Coltrane, who has also appeared in two James Bond films, is said to console himself by spending time collecting classic cars.

The couple got married after many years of dating.

And when they split, Robbie’s rep told the Daily Mail that they had indeed split. They confirmed that it was amicable and that no one else was involved. While some have suggested that Robbie’s work has taken a toll on him, others have suggested that the age difference may have played a role.

As for their children, the estranged couple welcomed their first child in 1992, a son named Spencer. They then became parents for the second time in 1998 with the birth of their daughter Alice. Both grew up away from the limelight. Spencer has chosen to live a private life and very little is known about him. While his sister is an actress and therefore has media contacts.

Robbie had been battling osteoarthritis for years before his death and spoke openly about being in a wheelchair and in pain 24 hours a day. In an interview with the Radio Times in 2020, he said he had a steady girlfriend. He also revealed that they had been together for around 12 years.

He has also spoken about his health issues several times, but has never really said anything about his divorce. But then, even after the separation, Robbie has always had nothing but good things to say about his ex-wife.
