The jailed husband of singer Amy Winehouse has started divorce proceedings against her, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Blake Fielder-Civil has instructed a lawyer to file papers. “I can confirm that I have been instructed to commence divorce proceedings on the grounds of Amy’s adultery,” Henri Brandman told PEOPLE, confirming a statement he made to a Sunday tabloid in the U.K.

And Fielder-Civil’s mother Georgette adds that it was she who contacted Brandman on her son’s behalf last week. She says, “I am just so relieved it’s going to be all over.”

The couple have been through many ups and downs and it is the second time in six weeks that Fielder-Civil or those close to him have spoken about a split.

Mrs. Civil vows: “It will go through this time, it will go ahead.”

Winehouse’s rep in the U.K., Chris Goodman, had no comment.

The singer has spent recent weeks vacationing in St. Lucia – often along side a hunky rugby player.

Amy Winehouse appears to be winning her battle against drugs as she looked the picture of health during a winter break in the sun.

And the singer also seems to have gained a considerable amount of weight over the last month.

Pleased with her new curves, Amy happily flaunted her topless figure in a pair of skimpy bikini bottoms.
The star is currently receiving treatment at a London clinic after a drug overdose.

And by the looks of things, rehab is having a positive effect on the star as she seemed relaxed and enjoying the break while frolicking on the Caribbean beach.

The 25-year-old, who was admitted to a clinic last month after suffering ‘a bad reaction to her prescribed medication’, has also reportedly started daily two-hour sessions at the gym.

‘She has hired a personal trainer,’ a source revealed.

‘She’s very enthusiastic about her sessions and bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate.

Janis, Amy’s mother, recently revealed: ‘She’s being taken care of. She’s resting and eating well, and there are no drugs there.’

Husband Blake Fielder Civil, 26, has also been in rehab as part of his 27-month prison sentence for GBH and trial fixing, but failed a drugs test and was put back in jail.

He could now be in jail until early 2010 after breaking the early release terms of his 27-month sentence.

Fielder Civil told a tabloid of the extent of his drug-taking with award-winning singer Miss Winehouse, how he introduced his wife to hard drugs, and his fear as she collapsed with a seizure after an all-day binge.

The music video assistant, broke down as he told of how Amy asked him to let her try crack cocaine as she watched him taking it.

He revealed he was so consumed with remorse he considered taking his own life. ‘I feel like killing myself. I feel like f***** dying.’

Amy Winehouse’s spokesman says the troubled singer is being treated at a clinic following a reaction to medication.

Chris Goodman says Winehouse was admitted to the London Clinic on Sunday. He declined to identify the medication that caused the reaction.

The 25-year-old Grammy winner has a history of drug problems and has been in and out of hospitals this year.

On Monday, a British court rejected an appeal by Winehouse’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, against his sentence for assault and obstructing justice. The judges urged him to continue making progress at a drug rehabilitation center.

AMY Winehouse says her marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil is kaput, according to Britain’s News of the World. The drug-addled singer says her husband left her for a blond German model, Sophie Schandorff. “It’s over,” the tabloid quoted Winehouse as saying. “There’s no way back for us now. It was never going to last. We were only together for sex.” And, according to one of her pals, also quoted by the newspaper, it wasn’t ordinary sex. “Just like they were with drugs, they pushed themselves to the limit,” said the unnamed friend. “They were into threesomes. It was Blake’s idea, but Amy said she’d been with women before so it wasn’t a problem. And the pair of them were into some real kinky stuff, not just the usual bondage and sex games but really gross stuff you couldn’t mention in a newspaper.”

A wild-eyed Amy Winehouse was back on the rampage last night, storming through the streets of Camden in an uncontrollable state.

The Rehab singer was seen stumbling around outside her North London home in denim cut-off shorts and a tank top, obliviously to the chilly conditions.

She was mindlessly searching for her friend Blake Wood – also known as ‘Good Blake’ – knocking on her neighbours doors in the process.

Amy, who recently abandoned her matted beehive in favour of a curly look, eventually retired back to her house with a litre bottle of vodka all to herself.

Despite several medical interventions to address her well-documented substance abuse problems and time away from the spotlight, the 25-year-old appears to have resumed her notoriously erratic behavior.

Meanwhile, the singer is yet to reunite with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who was released from jail into a rehab facility in Woking, Surrey, earlier this month.

He allegedly asked Amy to pay the £30,000 fee for his treatment for heroin and crack cocaine addiction, but she refused.

Blake has denied claims he has been dumped by the singer.

He boasted that the pair are still very much in love and that he is expecting a visit from Amy ‘at any time now.’

He declared: ‘We will be together for the rest of our lives.’

Amy’s mother Janis has said that she is praying that Blake stays away from her daughter.

Janis, 53, told Closer magazine that Amy was apparently devastated that he didn’t tell her he was getting out of prison before his release.

She said: ‘What sort of husband doesn’t tell his wife that he’s being released? That says it all really, doesn’t it?’

Blake was locked up for a year for his part in a vicious assault on a pub landlord.

Amy Winehouse didn’t get the reunion she was hoping for with her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who was released from jail Tuesday.

After serving 12 months behind behind bars, he’s thought to have checked into a rehab center, according to UK’s the Daily Mail

Winehouse was not at the prison as her husband was released.

Instead, the singer who was recently treated for a chest infection, stayed at their home in London’s Camden.

The paper reported she emerged from her home Tuesday afternoon with make-up smeared across her face, in an “agitated state” and lunged at a photographer.

Meanwhile, Fielder-Civil, was photographed smiling as he left jail but showed signs of his times behind bars, “sporting a chipped front tooth and red scratches down his arms.”

Fielder-Civil was sentenced to 27 months in jail after admitting that he beat up a pub manager in a barroom fight in 2006.

AMY WINEHOUSE’s junkie husband BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL has rejected a second chance to leave jail early — after prison bosses said he would have to go straight into rehab.

They offered to cut his stay at Suffolk’s Edmunds Hill prison by more than two months if he agreed to the detox. But he turned down the deal.

A week ago he was told he would be released if he went to live with his mother in Nottinghamshire and wore an electronic tag.

But again he chose his grubby life behind bars over freedom.

What a lovely bloke and caring husband he is.

Last night a friend of Amy said: “This will be another blow for her. Blake could have gone to rehab and sorted himself out but would rather see out his sentence in prison.

“All he wants is a free reign when he leaves, which means living with Amy back in Camden.

“But if he is turning down these chances to leave jail and get clean, it doesn’t bode well for him and Amy when he finally does get out.”

ANYONE wondering what AMY WINEHOUSE could possibly still see in convicted criminal and druggie hubby BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL should take a look at the uncensored version of this picture.

The troubled singer posted the snap – in which Blake exposes his manhood by pulling down his boxers – on her Facebook profile.

But Amy will have to wait a little longer to see the real thing.

Blake has chosen to stay in prison rather than accept early release, as the terms meant he’d have to live with his mum in Nottinghamshire and wear an electronic tag.

A source told The Sun: “It was all set for him to be released, but he refused to go to anywhere other than Camden.

“He doesn’t want to go somewhere where he can’t be reunited with Amy and his friends. He’d rather stay inside.”

Amy Winehouse cut a tragic figure last night as she stumbled through the streets of Camden looking worse than ever.

The singer, who has largely keep out of public view in recent weeks, was a guest DJ at her local pub the Monarch, where she emerged in a dishevelled, bleary-eyed state.

She arrived more than two hours late for her set but then settled in for a long night of hard partying.

Last week the Rehab singer emerged from her North London bolthole to appear at Bestival on the Isle of Wight, however her shambolic performance was booed by fans.

Her disappointing show came as little surprise considering she’d pre-ordered an incredible 48 bottles of Jack Daniel’s whisky.

Winehouse is also facing a legal challenge after not turning up to the Rock En Seine festival in Paris last month.

It has been a disastrous year for the once hugely successful star.

In June she was given the stark warning by doctors to ‘quit drugs or die’ and at the end of that month she was diagnosed with the early stages of the lung disease emphysema.

However as soon as she left the clinic, the 24-year-old star was seen smoking a cigarette.

In April 2008 she was cautioned by police for assault after she slapped a man on a night out.
