Speaking to the Daily Beast about Jude's affair back in December 2020, Sienna, who was performing in a play at the time of the scandal, said: "That was one of the most challenging moments I hope I'll ever have to experience. Because with that level of public heartbreak, to have to get out of a bed let alone stand in front of 800 people every night, it's just the last thing you want to do."

They called off their engagement in 2006

She added: "People who came to see me said we had dinner, and I don't remember. I was in so much shock over it all. And I'd really just begun. I was only 23. But if you get through that, you feel like you can get through anything."
