Love Island star Malin Andersson reveals she’s quitting the UK and relocating to Barcelona with her daughter Xaya after overcoming years of ‘stress, suffering and trauma’

by

Love Island star Malin Andersson has announced that she’s had her fill of the UK and is preparing to embark on a fresh chapter of life overseas.

In simple terms, the 33-year-old celebrity from the reality world recently shared with her fans that she has experienced significant stress and distress over the past few years, and she intends to embark on a fresh chapter of life in Barcelona.

Malin, known for candidly discussing her mental health challenges since her stint on Love Island in 2016, recently shared an update with her audience via a video, referring to it as a “truthful account.

Here’s an example of paraphrasing that conversation in natural and easy-to-read language:

‘Just wanted to let you know, I’m currently in Madeira along with Xaya. A good friend of mine resides here, so we’ll be here for a week before embarking on our next journey to Barcelona.’

Malin went on to say: “Think about abandoning a life that you’ve known since birth. When I was just three, my mom uprooted our family and moved us from Sweden to the UK, making Bedfordshire my home ever since.

If we strip away work and material possessions, what remains as a safety net for you is essentially the community around you – the town itself, its inhabitants, the familiar faces, and all the common elements.

Upon reflection, I find nothing here for me that connects me. I arrived with a family, yet depart without anyone. I don’t maintain relationships with my siblings, my parents are deceased, leaving me without any family. All I have is myself and Zaya.

The mother of one shared that she’s feeling quite discontent with staying here due to its emptiness, and she yearns for a change of location in order to find more happiness.

She determined: ‘I made up my mind that I’d reached my limit. It seemed as if my spirit had been drained, leaving me to perform tasks mechanically, much like a zombie.’

If you’ve lived with stress, pain, and trauma throughout your life, the healing process often leads you to look within yourself, seek solace, and then crave change. That’s exactly what I chose to do.

Now, I don’t have any connections left in England; no home, car, or belongings – nothing at all. What I desire is excitement, exploration, amusement, and happiness. Although I’ve recently arrived, I find myself feeling restless, as my system has become accustomed to a different lifestyle.

Regrettably, in 2017, following her participation on ITV2’s dating show, I lost my dear mother who courageously fought against stomach cancer.

Two years later, tragically, little Consy, who was born prematurely, lost her life due to complications related to her early birth.

In January 2022, Malin had just given birth to her daughter Xaya when her partner, Jared, ended their relationship mere four weeks later.

Besides mentioning this, the celebrity disclosed that her ex-partner Tom Kemp had been violent towards her during their time together. In 2020, he was imprisoned for physically attacking her.

In March, she openly shared that she had once pondered about her sexual orientation as she never felt secure around males, in a heartfelt post.

She shared that, due to lacking a paternal influence during her upbringing, she found it challenging to understand love and has experienced difficulties in defining her femininity as an adult.

In the course of their relationship, Tom Kemp exhibited abusive behavior towards her, leading to his imprisonment in 2020 due to physically attacking her.

In a video titled ‘BALANCING MASCULINE & FEMININE’, she shared: ‘I’ve honestly never felt secure or protected in the company of males.’

At times, I found myself doubting my sexual identity due to a lack of comfort expressing my more feminine side.

In my personal experiences, all the men I’ve encountered have been overly self-centered and struggling with their masculinity, which made me feel vulnerable and unsafe, thus preventing me from forming secure relationships.

I’ve never really experienced being soft, gentle, or in touch with my feminine side. Instead, I focus on strength training and manage the challenges of single motherhood. Unfortunately, I haven’t found anyone who makes me feel secure.

My upbringing strongly influenced my sense of self, as I never developed a strong connection with the feminine side due to lacking a nurturing father figure who could demonstrate loving relationships.
