The 40-year-old actress has been married to Jurassic World star Chris since 2009, but the pair hit a rocky patch last year when an American tabloid magazine claimed Anna was concerned about the actor starring alongside Jennifer Lawrence in new movie Passengers - for fear he might be unfaithful.

Isla was on the podcast to promote her new movie Nocturnal Animals, in which she stars alongside Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
