A British man who claims he was married to alleged Russian spy Anna Chapman has been speaking about their relationship.
Alex Chapman told the Daily Telegraph he met Ms Chapman at a London party and married her five months later in 2002.
He said he was "not surprised" by the arrest; his former wife said her father had once been high up in the KGB.
Ten alleged members of a Russian spy ring were arrested in the US and one in Cyprus after an FBI inquiry. Bail hearings are currently taking place.
They were charged with conspiracy to act as unlawful agents of a foreign government, a crime which carries up to five years in prison.
Publicist Max Clifford said Mr Chapman, who was married to Ms Chapman for four years, said his former wife had become "increasingly distant" and "increasingly secretive" as their marriage progressed.
Film premieres
"The relationship changed and she became more and more distant, and spent more of her time mixing with the very rich and powerful people, going to film premieres," Mr Clifford told the BBC.
He said Mr Chapman had told him his former wife's father had had a "huge influence" on her and was "at heart of everything she did".
Mr Chapman, 30, from Bournemouth, Dorset, was questioned by MI5 about his relationship with Anna Chapman on Wednesday.
The BBC's security correspondent Gordon Corera said MI5 and the FBI were in talks and the "key question" was whether Anna Chapman had been active as an undercover Russian agent in the UK.
