Joanna Haythorn is his wife

In 1970, Charles married artist Joanna Haythorn. The ex-couple met in their teens, when he was 19 and struggling to make it as a serious actor. The pair had a tumultuous marriage yet managed to stay together for three decades. Charles realized he had married the wrong woman after only three years of marriage, yet he managed to stay married to her for another 30 years before divorcing her in 2004. The divorce of Charles Dance and his ex-wife Joanna Haythorn came as a shock to all of his admirers, as they were very private about their relationship and had two children together. Charles later recognized that separating from his wife was a mistake. The pair currently has a nice relationship because he believes Joanna will never misunderstand him because they were so close until their divorce.

Several Relationships

Dance dated Sophia Myles, a Thunderbird actress in her twenties, shortly after her divorce in 2004. The following year, in 2005, their relationship came to an end. Later, Charles’ name was related to Shambala Marthe, a French Gucci model.
