That looks like a picture of two friends, one of whom has a son, in Central London. And is by no means proof of anything, nor is calling someone you once acted with as her husband, 'wife'.”
On a similar theme, my father was a head teacher and used to call the women teachers his mistresses. Years later I was in college talking to one of the teacher's daughters and a mutual friend, who didn't know we knew each other asked how we knew. I just said "she's the daughter of one of my father's mistresses" and the teacher's daughter just nodded and said yes.
The mutual friend couldn't speak to us for ages, thinking that the northeast had a very open and permissive culture
