Darius Campbell Danesh's ex-wife Natasha Henstridge has shared various posts about 'getting her sparkle back' two months on from the Scots singer's death.
The 48-year-old has kept a very low profile on social media since Darius' untimely death at the age of 41 and now has she shared a collection of gorgeous photos from the California desert alongside her boyfriend Chris Browning, writes The Mirror.
Glasgow-born Pop Idol star Darius was married to actress and model Natasha for two years, from 2011 - 2013. Following the news of his tragic death in August, Natasha said in a statement that she had 'no words' to describe her devastation after her ex-husband was found dead at his Minnesota apartment.
At the time of Darius' death, Natasha took to Instagram to pay a heartbreaking tribute to the Colourblind singer. " I have found the paradox that is you love until it hurts. there can be no more hurt- Only more love -Mother Theresa. There are no words Darius… only Love Love Love. Forever Janam," she penned.
Two months on from her ex-husband's passing, Natasha is now working on herself and working on getting her 'sparkle' back. The Canadian actress, who shot to fame in the nineties with her debut role in the science-fiction thriller Specie, posed up a storm in the poignant photographs as enjoyed some quiet time at Joshua Tree National Park.
The blonde beauty looked radiant as she rocked an edgy pink maxi skirt and a denim sleeveless jacket. She captioned a selfie with Chris: "Thanks to this wise guide for his patience, love and understanding." "Finding the beauty in the moments," she penned alongside another snap.
Natasha also re-shared a screenshot of a cryptic post, which read: "You can only chew your food for so long before it's time to swallow and move on. The same goes for your thinking: stop dwelling on thoughts that drive you fucking nuts - think it, feel it, then move on before it becomes too f*****g much."
The actress started dating the Scottish singer-turned-actor in 2004 after he moved to the US following his incredible Pop Idol stint at the age of 22. The pair were engaged in 2010 but split up soon after, before rekindling their romance and tying the knot on Valentine’s Day 2011 at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California.
But their love story wasn't to last as they split just two years later before finalising their divorce in 2018. During their relationship and marriage, the singer became a doting step-father to Natasha's two young sons.
Darius later admitted the union was a turbulent one, with the couple regularly on and off throughout their courtship. "That relationship was certainly not without its ups and downs. Over the course of 12 years we broke up many times and had a period of six months apart," he once told the Scottish Herald. "It was often a long distance relationship for half of it. That in itself was an amazing experience, but a painful one. When you love someone you want to be with them," he added.
And when they filed for divorce in 2013, Darius was heartbroken. "I felt a great sense of loss with the divorce and I went through a grieving period. You see, you don’t break up with one person, you break up with three. And in some ways, it’s like a death," he told.
In August, Darius' family announced his sad death in an emotional statement which read: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Darius Campbell Danesh. "Darius was found unresponsive in bed in his apartment room in Rochester, Minnesota, on August 11 and was pronounced dead in the afternoon by the local medical examiners’ office.
"The local police department have confirmed that there were no signs of intent or suspicious circumstances. The cause of his sudden death is unknown at this stage while medical examinations continue. "We ask that you kindly respect our wishes for privacy at this time whilst we come to terms with the tragic loss of our son and brother."
The star - known as Darius Danesh when he made his first bid for fame in ITV show Popstars in 2001 - also appeared on the first Pop Idol, which was won by Will Young.
