Vinnie Jones talked about his wife's death for the first time, thanking his fans for helping him with his "heavy grief".

Actor Tanya's wife died in July after a long illness, with Vinnie at her side.

The 54-year-old former footballer posted a photo of the couple on Twitter on Sunday.

He said to his disciples, "THANK YOU to each of you for your kind thoughts and words during this devastating time, you have helped us all so much to overcome this terrible sorrow, Vinnie."

Vinnie and Tanya, 53, married in 1994.

Tanya had a daughter, Kaley, from her former husband and a son, Aaron, with Vinnie.

Tanya suffered an emergency heart transplant at the age of 21 after Kaley was born and also reportedly suffered from cancer of the cervix of the uterus. In 2013, the actor recounted how the couple had been diagnosed with skin cancer.

Tanya died on July 6th.

Vinnie's management had said at the time: "Tanya Jones, Vinnie Jones' wife, died as a result of a long illness at 8:46 am local time in Los Angeles.

"Tanya went peacefully to the Jones family's house, surrounded by Vinnie, their daughter, and other family members.

"Vinnie and her family are asking for privacy when they are going through a period of understandable grief during this devastating time."
