Millie Mackintosh has candidly confessed to spending the entire Valentine's weekend in floods of tears following her devastating split from second husband Hugo Taylor. The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, revealed the emotional toll of facing the romantic holiday as a single woman after the shock separation from Taylor, which was announced earlier this month.
Valentine's Day Heartbreak
Millie Mackintosh admitted that her Valentine's weekend was particularly tearful, sharing that she went to see the new romantic adaptation of Wuthering Heights at the cinema before returning home to review the film in a video on her social media platforms. The emotionally-charged film, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, explores the passionate romance between star-crossed lovers Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw in 18th-century England.
"So I saw Wuthering Heights over the weekend, it was very spicy," Millie said of the flick. "The way Heathcliff loved her ah! Everyone in the cinema was just sobbing. I would definitely recommend to go and see it. They had great chemistry and the costumes were so good."
Alternative Valentine's Plans
Prior to the weekend, Millie had confessed that she was having an "alternative" Valentine's Day as she nurses a broken heart following the breakdown of her marriage. Taking to Instagram on Friday, she shared a snap of a London Underground board titled: "Valentine's Day Alternatives," which offered suggestions for those without a special someone - including "Galentine's Day" with female friends, "Malentine's Day" with male friends, and "Palentine's Day" with friends in general.
Separation Details
According to a source speaking to the Daily Mail, Millie and Hugo, 39, decided to call time on their relationship after conversations that took place in the New Year. The source claimed: "Millie and Hugo are currently going through a separation and have sadly decided to split. They have known each other for many years, and in recent weeks, have had serious conversations about their future, ultimately deciding it's better for them both to part ways."
The source emphasized that their main priority remains their children and family life, stating: "Separating is not something they ever hoped would happen. At present, they are considering what living apart might look like and how they plan to navigate co-parenting their young children. It's been an incredibly difficult start to the year, and one they hope to continue managing in private."
Relationship History
The pair tied the knot in 2018 after first dating following their debuts on the posh reality show Made in Chelsea in 2011. They initially split up, with Millie going on to marry rapper Professor Green in 2013, but that marriage was ill-fated and they divorced in 2016. Millie and Hugo eventually rekindled their romance before getting married two years later at Whithurst Park in West Sussex.
An emotional Millie shared at the time of their wedding: "Even in my wildest dreams I didn't imagine it would be this perfect. I am so excited to finally be married to Hugo - he's the love of my life." The former couple went on to have two daughters together - Sienna, born in 2020, and Aurelia, born in 2021.
Current Situation
While Millie has been spotted without her wedding ring following news of their split, Hugo was recently seen still wearing his. The separation marks the end of a seven-year marriage that produced two children, coming after Millie's previous divorce from Professor Green. The former Made In Chelsea star has been open about her emotional struggles since the separation was announced, with Valentine's Day proving particularly challenging for the reality television personality turned entrepreneur.
