Tilda Swinton takes toyboy lover to Oscars as partner stays home

Actress has complicated love life

Tilda Swinton took her toyboy fella Sandro Kopp to the Academy Awards on Sunday while her long-term partner stayed at home.

The actress, 47, shares a house in North Scotland with John Bryne, dad to her 2 children, but travels the world with Sandro.

While Tilda was collecting her Oscar at LA's Kodak Theatre and celebrating with the German artist, John was looking after 10-year-old twins Xavier and Honor.

He only found out that Tilda, 47, had won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Michael Clayton when she phoned him – because the couple don't have a TV.

'It's wonderful,' says John. 'I did not watch it because I have not had a telly for over 6 years. Tilda phoned me 2 or 3 minutes after 4am. She said in a very small voice, "I've won".'

John is delighted Tilda had a man by her side to toast her victory.

'Sandro was there,' John tells the Daily Record. 'We love Sandro dearly. Tilda loves him, I love him and the children love him.'

Tilda also took Sandro, 29, to the Baftas earlier this month.
