Well, she warned him that love is a losing game: Blake Fielder-Civil, the husband of the singer Amy Winehouse, is beginning divorce proceedings against her, his lawyer announced on Monday. The lawyer, Henri Brandman, said that Mr. Fielder-Civil would seek a divorce on the grounds of infidelity, The Associated Press reported. The couple were married in May 2007, and both have had legal problems since then. Mr. Fielder-Civil was arrested in 2007 and later sent to jail for assaulting a man and offering him a bribe. Last week Ms. Winehouse dropped her appeal of a fine she paid in Norway for possession of what the police said was marijuana.
In separate interviews with the British newspaper News of the World, Mr. Fielder-Civil has said he blamed himself for his wife's drug problems, and Ms. Winehouse, 25, who was hospitalized several times last year, has said she was off drugs and in love with a 21-year-old man she met on vacation in St. Lucia.
