Rhys Ifans Loses Sienna, Gains Tough-Guy 'Tude

Nearly a week after their breakup, it's still a mystery as to why in the world Sienna Miller would kick Rhys Ifans to the curb mere weeks after she spilled the sassy secrets of their romantic success to U.K. Elle.

First came news that Ifans had snooped in Miller's text messages looking for "incriminating evidence" prior to their split. Now, according to British newspaper the Sun, Rhys has gone on a bender and is threatening to deliver a thumping to Matthew Rhys, Miller's costar in The Edge of Love and Sienna's once and, Ifans suspects, now current lover.

"He's spent the week in the pub texting Sienna—begging her to change her mind," says a source close to the ditched actor. "His hurt has turned to anger, and he has said that he will sort Matthew out when he sees him—he's raging."

The insider adds that Ifans has told Miller he'll "punch [Rhys'] lights out" if he finds out she was cheating with him and that he plans to "ruin her big night at the [Edge of Love] premiere" with a public showdown.

Way to be really scary chivalrous, Rhys! Women really respect that approach. Just ask this guy.

Quotables /

“After Sienna Miller gushed over her relationship boyfriend Rhys Ifans in a recent interview with the UK "Elle," the "Sun" is now reporting that the couple have, in fact, called it quits.

The article cites the reason for the split as Ifans' jealousy. The floppy-haired Welshman had allegedly grown suspicious over the possibility that Sienna was rekindling her love with former flame Matthew Rhys.

Having to communicate long-distance, the couple had grown apart in recent weeks and Miller reportedly broke the news to Ifans over the phone. According to the source Sienna found Rhys looking through text messages on Sienna's phone.

Sienna claims that she and her ex are simply close friends, however time will tell whether or not that's true.”

“Sienna Miller opened up about her love for fellow actor Rhys Ifans in the July issue of UK’s "Elle."

Here’s what the 26-year-old "G.I Joe" actress had to say:

On the mere mention of Rhys’s name making her jump for joy: “When his name is mentioned, it makes me smile like a fool because I instantly think of him and it makes me happy. He does just make me happy. I totally love Rhys.”

On how the couple spend their quality time: “[Rhys] is the best cook ever. His cooking completely reflects his personality; he does these mad, quirky dishes that taste completely wonderful, like carrots poached in mandarin juice."

Oy.”

Why is Sienna settling for men like him? She could get a wickedly gorgeous man all to herself. She should come to Italia ;)
