Lawson and Saatchi married in 2003 and lived in London with Lawson's son and daughter from her marriage to journalist John Diamond, who died of cancer in 2001, and Saatchi's daughter from a previous marriage. Lawson's spokesman Mark Hutchinson -- who previously has confirmed that she and her children left the family home after the photos were published
-- declined to comment on Saatchi's statement. Lawson is a well-known TV presenter and chef whose cookbooks are best-sellers in Britain and the United States. Saatchi, co-founder of the Saatchi & Saatchi ad agency, owns one of London's biggest private art galleries. He was the main patron of the Young British Artists movement of the 1990s, which made household names of artists including Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.
