Blake Fielder-Civil, the former husband of the late singer Amy Winehouse, is reportedly living in a graffiti-covered bedsit and is so disconnected from his family that he may not have learned of the death of the mother of his two children. His mother, Georgette Fielder-Civil, stated that he is "devastated and shattered" and "can't take it in that she's dead and he'll never see her again." This news emerges alongside reports of the "unexplained" death of Sarah Aspin, the mother of Fielder-Civil's children and a figure previously involved in a widely reported "love triangle" with Winehouse and Fielder-Civil.

Circumstances of Sarah Aspin's Death
Sarah Aspin, aged 47, was discovered dead at her home in Swillington, Leeds. Police were called to the property on Saturday, February 7, following a report of concern for her safety. West Yorkshire Police have stated that inquiries are ongoing and are treating the death as "unexplained." Aspin's eldest daughter has publicly paid tribute to her mother on social media, describing life as "so boring" without her.

Aspin's cousin, Leanne Eastwood, also posted a message of remembrance, saying, "Sweet dreams to my beautiful cousin Sarah Aspin."
Aspin became publicly known following her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil after the dissolution of his marriage to Amy Winehouse.
Blake Fielder-Civil's Current Situation
Recent reports indicate that Blake Fielder-Civil is living in a state of considerable isolation. His mother described his living situation as a "graffiti-strewn bedsit." This withdrawal from his family appears to have deepened, with his mother suggesting he may be unaware of Sarah Aspin's passing.

Blake Fielder-Civil was in prison for burglary at the time of Amy Winehouse's death and was unable to attend her funeral.
He later married Sarah Aspin, with whom he had two children, and they were together for several years. They have since separated.
Fielder-Civil has previously spoken about his struggles with addiction, with some reports alleging he introduced Amy Winehouse to heroin. He has since stated he has been clean for years and has expressed regret for his influence on Winehouse's life.
In August 2016, Fielder-Civil was reportedly in critical condition after a collapse, with doctors said to have placed him in a coma due to infection. The mother of his son, Jack, at the time, Sarah Aspin, spoke about the trauma.
Past Connections and Public Perceptions
The relationship between Amy Winehouse, Blake Fielder-Civil, and Sarah Aspin has been a recurring subject in public discourse. Winehouse famously had Fielder-Civil's name tattooed over her heart, and their relationship was often described as tumultuous and inspiring much of her music, notably the album "Back to Black."

Fielder-Civil has faced accusations of contributing to Winehouse's downward spiral and addiction. He has generally denied these claims, though he has acknowledged his role in her struggles.
Despite past conflicts, Fielder-Civil has expressed that watching the "Back to Black" biopic was "surreal and therapeutic," and he has indicated a willingness to speak with Winehouse's father and family.
He has stated that he does not take any money from Winehouse's estate, contrary to some public speculation.
Broader Impact and Family Reactions
The passing of Sarah Aspin has prompted reactions from her family, highlighting the personal impact of the event. Her daughter's tribute underscores the familial bond and the sense of loss.
The situation of Blake Fielder-Civil raises questions about his current level of support and his connection to his children. His mother's statements suggest a significant degree of estrangement.
Amy Winehouse's family, including her father Mitch Winehouse, reportedly distanced themselves from Fielder-Civil after her death.
