Sienna Miller
- Profession: Actress
- Place/Date of Birth: New York, USA, 28 December 2020
- Associated with: Jude Law, Rhys Ifans
"I can assure you I’m not sleeping around!" she told OK! magazine. "I have a strong Bohemian streak but take love and relationships very seriously. I don’t find short affairs particularly appealing because they leave you feeling strange and unsettled. I’d rather have something real and meaningful."
The 25-year-old former squeeze of Jude Law is keen to be taken seriously for her work.
"I had a very famous boyfriend," she added. "I had to work hard to be taken seriously as an actress. I love my job. But I don’t want to be a celebrity.
"I had to put up with a lot of ridicule earlier in my career because my private life overshadowed anything I’d done as an actress at that point. Now I feel I’ve done some good work and that’s going to focus much more attention on me as an actress rather than a celebrity. I feel like my life is on the right path now."
Sienna dating new co-star? - Aug 16 2007
Sienna Miller has reportedly landed herself a new fella - in the shape of her co-star in The Edge Of Love, Matthew Rhys.
The pair were encouraged to get together by their mutual pal Keira Knightley after the trio went out for dinner in May - and the couple have been trying to keep their blossoming romance under wraps ever since, reports The Sun.
The 32-year-old Welsh actor, who is best known for playing the role of gay lawyer Kevin Walker in family drama Brothers And Sisters, is Sienna’s first serious romance since her split with Jude Law in 2006.
Despite rumours that she is dating P Diddy, pals say she only has eyes for Matthew.
A friend said: "This is the first bloke Sienna has been serious with since she finally split with Jude.
"These vicious allegations of her being with Diddy and splitting up his relationship with Kim Porter are awful. But they have actually worked in her and Matthew’s favour a bit.
"It has taken the heat off their relationship because people have been looking for a spark between her and Diddy.
"Sienna and Diddy are party pals.
"They love to go out and have a good time but that’s where it ends, they have had some wild nights in Los Angeles, London and St Tropez but he isn’t someone she is going to take home to her mum."
Sisters in fashion - July 30 2007
They’re not the first siblings to create a fashion line, and they won’t be the last, but Sienna and Savannah Miller were in New York to mark the launch of the spring-summer range of their Twenty8Twelve by S. Miller collection.
And while fashionistas shouldn’t expect to see it on a runway soon, Sienna already has high hopes for the range.
"I would love to have a show someday, maybe if we are bought by the Gucci Group. Then we can have one," she told Women’s Wear Daily.
Sister Savannah, who used to design for Alexander McQueen, added: "For me, there has to be a real reason to have a show. At McQueen, the clothes called for a production and he really puts on a real show."
During their short visit to the city, Sienna and Savannah managed to fit in some quality sister time.
"We had a really great sister moment today and went to a little place down the street to get our nails done," Sienna said.
’Sister act’ for Sienna - July 13 2007
Sienna Miller is apparently launching a fashion label with her older sister.
Savannah, who has recently created a capsule collection for Shanghai Tang, defended setting up a line with her equally stylish sister.
The 28-year-old designer told the Daily Express: "Of course people will say I’m jumping on Sienna’s bandwagon and cashing in on her fame but this is something we have talked about for years."

Sienna’s parents divorced rather early in her life and she moved to England with her mother, where Jo took on the job of running London’s Lee Strasberg drama school.
Sienna spent most of her adolescent life at Heathfield School, a boarding school in Ascot. On her return to London she enrolled at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
Early theatre performances were on the stages of New York and include The Striker, Independence and Cigarettes & Chocolate, directed by Anthony Minghella, who’s famous for helming the movie The English Patient (1996).
In New York she was ’spotted’ by Select Modeling agency, she continued to model on her return to England.
After starring in a few underrated television shows, Paramount Pictures signed her up to a seven-year contract. It was following this that she began to grab a few roles in some big budget silver screen productions, including Layer Cake, Alfie and Casanova.
After co-starring in Alfie together, Sienna began a relationship with one of the UK’s hottest men, Jude Law, and it is mostly this soapbox of a relationship that bagged her the most column inches.
Sienna went on to play Celia in a West End stage production of As You Like It, fulfilling a life times ambition - however not to great acclaim.
In 2006 she finished filming Factory Girl, in which she plays Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgewick.
