Amy Winehouse and her jailed ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, suffered a terrible, drug-fueled marriage.

But that doesn't mean the man Winehouse aptly called Blake Incarcerated isn't torn up over her death.

What did he have to say about her?

"I will never ever again feel the love I felt for her," he told his girlfriend Sarah Aspin, who was granted a special visit by prison officials in order to console him. "Everybody who knew me and knew Amy knew the depth of our love. I can't believe she's dead." Aspin related his comments to the U.K.'s Sun.

Fielder-Civil, who last month began serving a 32 month sentence for burglary and firearm possession at Leeds' Armley Jail, is now under close watch by guards because he is so upset and keeps sobbing uncontrollably.

Aspin had told the paper that her baby daddy called her on Saturday after he was informed about the "Rehab" singer's sudden death. She characterized him as "devastated and shattered."

"I just couldn't console him," she said. "He was in total shock. Blake is the father of our son. But I saw him and Amy together and I know they were really in love and they were soulmates. She always loved him and he always loved her, but it was just never going to work."

Aspin said that even though there was lingering love between Fielder-Civil and Winehouse, their relationship ultimately soured when Aspin became pregnant.

The "Back to Black" singer, who had recently made one last attempt at recovery, and Fielder-Civil hooked up in 2005 and were married in Miami two years later. They split in 2009.
