Vinnie Jones and girlfriend Emma Ford appear to be going from strength to strength, so much so, it seems, that she’s “had a chat” with his late wife Tanya to assure her she’ll look after the football hardman.
Vinnie’s wife of 25 years, Tanya, died in 2019, six years after receiving a cancer diagnosis. Five years later, he still talks of his feelings of guilt about taking the “next step” with Emma.
However, he has also shared how happy he is with his “spiritual” new love – especially since she ‘spoke’ to his beloved Tanya.

Vinnie Jones on girlfriend Emma’s ‘chat’ with Tanya
Vinnie was pleasantly surprised when his new girlfriend Emma said she’d “had a chat” with his late wife Tanya.
The star told The Sun: “Having Emma alongside me, she’s fantastic. She is spiritual, and she is sober, and she told me something… ‘I’ve had a chat with Tanz and I’ve told her I’m going to look after you.’ That meant a lot to me. And she has helped me, she’s great fun, I haven’t got my heavy boots on any more. I’ve got my trainers on now and we’re jogging.
There are three of us in this relationship because there will always be Tanya and that’s fact.
“With Emma we sort of came along in each other’s lives, but there are three of us in this relationship because there will always be Tanya and that’s fact. The next step you are always feeling guilty about. But I’m sure she’s looking down on me. We had 30 fantastic years, embrace that. You never conquer it,” he said.
