When Tilda Swinton spoke of the open relationship she enjoys with the father of her children, it's fair to say she raised a few eyebrows. But after the 47-year-old actress took her younger lover to the Baftas - leaving her long-term partner in Scotland looking after the twins - she will have doubtless raised a few more.

Miss Swinton was named Best Supporting Actress at the ceremony, making her a hot favourite for an Oscar.

But as she celebrated after the awards on Sunday, it was hard to tell whether onlookers were inspecting the golden trophy - or the 29-year-old companion who carried it.

It was the first time Miss Swinton, who wore a Dior gown, had showed off Sandro Kopp in public. The German artist escorted her to the dinner held after the awards at the Grosvenor House hotel in London and remained with her until the early hours.

Meanwhile, 68-year-old John Byrne, her partner of 18 years, stayed at home in the north of Scotland, looking after the couple's ten-year-old twins Xavier and Honor.

She left her partner who is 21 years older than she is at home with the kids while she went away with her lover who is 18 years younger than she is. Sounds like her partner isn't the only one who likes them younger now and then. Good for Tilda.

Tilda, I just adore those clever alien bumps on top.

Well, I don't give a damn about her lifestyle, but it is a pretty crappy message to her kids, your dad is great, but not.

I'm not familiar with Ms Tilda Swinton. I'm not aware of her professed acting abilities.

But I do know ugly when I see it.

Many actors date women who are easily young enough to be their daugthers and plently more have mistresses who they are seen out with and the media don't say a word. Why the moral high ground now? Because its a woman?

I guess I'm somewhat amazed that both partners are MEN. I'd have thought she bats for the other team. My mistake.

I think that's exactly the same age difference between George Clooney and his girlfriend---but their age difference doesn't make any headlines.

The HP should stop printing this misogynist crap.

Another talented actress with the morals of a maggot.

Jealous of what exactly? I guess my statement about her morality offended your sensibilities.

What is immoral about an open, consensual relationship?

Uh, oh. "happy" is here to trash another actress who doesn't conform to happy's idea of what is proper. You know, "happy", not everyone lives in your little world nor do they WANT to! How do you know Tilda and her partner don't have an understanding that includes seeing other people? I know it's hard for you to comprehend that not everyone wants to be just like you, but they don't. You should really try to look beyond your own life.

Anyone notice Tilda looks a lot like Clay Aiken from American Idull?
Just curious!

Anyone who thought Tilda Swinton *ever* held the usual dull mainstream views regarding private behavior hasn't been paying attention.

She was Derek Jarman's muse in the late 80's / early 90's, starring as Edward II's insanely jealous queen under his direction, and several other less-accessible projects. She was amazing in Orlando, and was cheated out of an Oscar nomination for The Deep End. She is a lady who is willing to take chances and I admire her for that. As long as her kids don't grow up to be serial killers or arch-conservatives, her private life is literally her affair.

Oh and btw, the young man is certainly a more attractive accoutrement than that wacky spiders-on-gold-tinfoil jacket she wore at the BAFTAs

I don't care where they talk about Tilda, as long as they do. Ever since "Orlando", for me she's the only woman in the room.
