Meg Tilly Children: Meet Will Firth, Emily Zinnemann, David Zinnemann
Meg married film producer Tim Zinnemann in 1983, with whom she had two children, Emily and David, but ended in divorce in 1989. After Zinnemann, she began a relationship with actor Colin Firth, with whom she had another child, William.
By the late 90s, Meg had left acting behind in order to spend more time with her children, in addition to writing novels full-time. Her first book, 1994’s Singing Songs, is a graphic tale of child abuse, based on events from her own life.
The publication of Singing Songs ruffled feathers among Meg’s relatives: she says “Most of my family weren’t talking to me” during that period, whilst her mother dismissed the book as “all fiction.”
Although Meg and her mother have a loving relationship to this day, Meg says her mother has never accepted her children’s version of events and rejects abuse claims. “I have enormous compassion for her,” Meg has noted. “But there was a period of time, when my kids were small, when I was very angry.”
