Former MP Mark Field has finally spoken out about his infamous affair with Liz Truss, revealing how their relationship ultimately led to the breakdown of his marriage. Mark, now 60, admitted that cracks in his relationship with his wife, Michele, started to appear in the early 2000s—around the same time Liz entered his life. While he described their marriage as “reassuring” at the time, he now realizes the lack of discussions about children or major disagreements should have been a warning sign.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Mark recalled meeting Liz at the Conservative Party Conference in October 2002, where they first connected under the “romantic dimmed lights” of the Highcliff Hotel in Bournemouth. At the time, Liz—who had been married to Hugh O’Leary since 2000—wasn’t yet an MP but would later go on to win the South West Norfolk seat in 2010.
