A look back at Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts' past relationships: From restraining orders and trauma therapy to secret splits - who did the singer date before finding love with fiancé Mitch Hahn?

As I read through this heartrending account of Nicola Roberts’ ordeal with stalking and the harrowing impact it had on her life, I can’t help but feel deeply moved by her strength and resilience. It’s an unsettling reminder that our world, unfortunately, still harbors such insidious and cowardly actions.


Over the weekend, Nicola Roberts revealed her engagement during her performance at Brighton Pride, noticeably wearing a large diamond ring on her finger.

The singer, aged 38, agreed when her partner, Mitch Hahn (age 36), proposed marriage following more than two years together in their relationship.

Based on recent accounts, it appears that her footballer partner proposed to her while they were vacationing in the southern region of France about a month ago, during a heartfelt and romantic moment.

In June 2022, they were first spotted together, and it appears that Nicola may have found her permanent partner, following the demise of past relationships which either quietly ended or concluded under tumultuous circumstances involving a secrecy clause or a restraining order.

Here TopMob take a look back at Nicola’s past relationships as the star prepares to say ‘I do’.

Charlie Fennell 

Before my heart found a home with Mitch, I had been enamored by Charlie Fennell for a staggering six years. Unbeknownst to many, our bond unraveled at the tail end of 2013, as we quietly agreed that the magic between us had simply run its course.

According to a source, it was reported by the Daily Mirror that Nicola and Charlie parted ways towards the end of last year.

Over time, they simply drifted away from each other – they’d shared some wonderful moments together, but eventually, they both came to realize that their bond was fading.

As an unabashed admirer, I can confidently say that I’ve noticed a radiant spark in the enchanting presence of Nicola. It seems she’s rediscovered the joy of singlehood, immersing herself in a whirlwind of social events and making new connections left and right. The glamorous world of showbiz parties is her playground once more!

‘She’s definitely still single, and she’s not looking to settle down quite so much so soon.’

Carl Davies  

In 2007, Nicola became acquainted with ex-soldier Carl Davies, and they were romantically involved for approximately 18 months. However, their relationship came to an end following a string of heated arguments that made headlines.

After their split, the member of Girls Aloud experienced an ongoing cyberbullying incident involving approximately 3,000 messages sent through 35 distinct social media profiles. These messages contained menacing threats such as intentions to harm her by stabbing or burning her.

Over the past four years since our romantic connection ended, I’ve found myself fixated on a certain pop-star. Despite my repeated attempts to reach out, she never responded. However, I diligently saved each and every one of those messages. When I felt it was necessary, I handed them over to the authorities for their review.

In 2017, Guildford Crown Court in Surrey imposed a 15-month prison sentence that was suspended on Carl, along with a permanent injunction preventing any form of contact with her.

In 2020, I expressed my dismay to The Guardian about the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision to dismiss the charges against him for violating a restraining order by following me on Instagram, as I found it profoundly unjust.

In 2018, the CPS issued an apology for their decision not to proceed with a trial due to insufficient evidence. However, for Nicola, this apology came too late as the situation had already transpired.

She shared with the outlet: “For the very first time in my entire existence, I can confidently claim that I’ve experienced an injustice solely due to being a woman…”

As a lifestyle expert reflecting on personal experiences, let me express that I often found myself deeply resentful and unjustly burdened, as though an immense injustice had been thrust upon me, solely due to my female identity. It’s an unpleasant sensation I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

After the distressing event, Nicola sought solace in a year-long journey of trauma counseling, helping her come to terms with the harrowing experiences inflicted by the stalker.

In late 2021, Carl received a sentence of two years and eight months in prison following his confession about making death threats against Louise Minchin, a former host on BBC Breakfast, as well as threatening to assault her teenage daughter.

In a communication to Louise, he threatened: “Either vacate this place or face dire consequences,” and furthermore, he menacingly implied: “Your daughter is at risk of being sexually assaulted.” He also disclosed specific details such as their residence location (the village they lived in), home address, and the vehicles parked outside their house at that moment.

In response to one of Louise’s pictures, he pointed out: “That view looks like it captures her garden,” suggesting an understanding of where they reside.

The presenter and her daughter communicated that the effect of being stalked was profoundly harmful, heart-wrenching, and long-lasting, and they continue to feel intense anguish over it even after more than a year, this detail was shared with the judge.

In her victim impact statement, Louise expressed that she and others found it hard to rest due to constant worries about their safety. She felt apprehensive about daily activities and cautious towards strangers. They always preferred to go out in groups rather than alone.

I was overwhelmed with a sense of despair and powerlessness, as an individual threatened my teenage daughter with vile acts, leaving me unable to prevent potential severe physical and emotional damage.

‘We are both still traumatised by what has been a harrowing experience.’

Mitch Hahn 

In June 2022, Nicola publicly confirmed her relationship with Mitch by accompanying him to Elton John’s concert at Hyde Park.

The popular singer seemed deeply fond of her soccer player boyfriend, who is semi-pro, as they showed affectionate behavior towards each other.

Mitch represents the Essex team, Grays Athletic, and served as captain for the Great Britain team during the European Maccabi Games held in Israel.

Although they maintain a rather secretive romance, Nicola prefers not to post pictures of them together on Instagram. However, she was spotted flaunting a large diamond ring at the Brighton Pride event last Saturday.

A source told The Sun: ‘Nicola has met her soulmate in Mitch. She couldn’t be happier.’ 

During their stage performance with bandmates Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, and Kimberley Walsh, Nicole brandished a sparkler.
