Despite being divorced from Eric Clapton over three decades ago, Pattie Boyd is proving that some bonds never break.

The 82-year-old model and photographer recently stepped out to support her ex-husband at a concert in Guildford, England.

Posting on Instagram on Friday, April 24, she called the performance “fabulous,” adding that it was “Great to hear ‘Old Love’, ‘Layla’ and ‘Wonderful Tonight’ ” songs which were all written about her! “live again” in the “relatively intimate” venue.

Boyd was famously involved in a complicated love triangle with Clapton and his good friend — who was also her first husband — Beatles legend George Harrison.

Boyd left Harrison for Clapton in 1974. “He said, ‘Well, I’m glad you’re going off with Eric instead of some idiot,” Boyd told People. “So he appreciated my choice!”

Boyd wed Clapton in 1979, but their relationship was far from smooth. The pair split in 1989, closing a dramatic chapter in rock history.

These days, Boyd has long since moved on and she’s been married to property developer Rod Weston since 2015. But her latest outing shows there’s no bad blood when it comes to her past.

The legendary guitarist, who has been married to Melia McEnery since 2002, was playing two nights at Guildford’s G Live on April 20 and 21 as a warm-up for an upcoming world tour. The venue holds less than 2,000 people and is a lot smaller than his usual shows.

As per a BBC report, venue bosses initially thought the rock star made the booking for rehearsals before going on tour. But instead Clapton, who was born in nearby Ripley, treated Boyd and other locals to a show in a cozy setting.
