The late Amy Winehouse was as much known in the press for her tumultuous and sometimes violent relationship with ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil as she was for her Grammy-winning songs.

Fielder-Civil, 29, and Winehouse were linked since 2005 and married in 2007, then divorced in 2009. He learned of her Saturday death in a London jail, where he is serving time for a burglary and firearm offense.

AmyBlakeDeath230.jpgThe Sun reports that Fielder-Civil collapsed when prison officials told him of Winehouse's death. He tells the paper:

    "I'm beyond inconsolable ... my tears won't dry. ... I will never ever again feel the love I felt for her. ... Everybody who knew me and knew Amy knew the depth of our love. I can't believe she's dead."


Fielder-Civil, an addict himself, is reported to have been the one to introduce Winehouse to different drugs. She is known to have used crack cocaine, alcohol and heroin. Her cause of death has not yet been determined.

Sarah Aspin, Fielder-Civil's girlfriend and the mother of their newborn son, Jack, was allowed to visit Fielder-Civil after he learned the news. She told The Sun through tears:

    "He is devastated and shattered. He just can't take it in that she's dead and he'll never see her again. ... I just couldn't console him. He was in total shock. ... I saw him and Amy together and I know they were really in love and they were soulmates. She always loved him and he always loved her - but it was just never going to work. ... It is hard for me knowing he still loved her, but I do understand his feelings."
