Blake Fielder-Civil, the actor who was married to Amy Winehouse from 2007 to 2009, has responded to speculation that he is responsible for her death in 2011. Despite confessing that he was with Amy the first time she used heroin, Blake said that she had started trying cocaine with a different ex before then. He did not directly blame her for the death, but acknowledged that he has made peace with the reality that he had a role to play in her death. Despite being incarcerated at the time of Amy's death, Blake still feels connected to his late ex-wife. In October 2018, he announced he was one year sober and expressed pride in his sobriety.
