Amy Winehouse "still loves" her husband.
Despite being pictured cavorting with actor Josh Bowman, the "Rehab" singer has been telling fellow holidaymakers on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia she is still besotted with Blake Fielder-Civil, who has filed for divorce, but is determined to have fun while he serves his jail term for grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.
She is quoted as telling hotel guests: "Josh has gone home. He was lovely. But it was a holiday thing. I still love my Blake. While he's locked away, I'm still going to have a good time. He can't do anything about it."
Josh, 21, is not likely to be too upset by Amy's claims - his friends insist he is embarrassed by the troubled 25-year-old star's wild antics and doesn't want to pursue a long-term romance with her.
A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "He had a fling with Amy because he was swept away by the fact that it was Amy Winehouse.
"It was good fun at first and Amy was talking a lot about her Jewish roots and how much it means to her. Josh is also Jewish so they had that connection and were having fun.
"But after a few days he started to find her very full-on and strange. He felt embarrassed by her behaviour in front of other guests and gently tried to explain to Amy they should stay as friends, not partners."
