Millie Mackintosh says she fears ‘letting fans in’ due to ‘things going on in her personal life’ amid shock split from husband Hugo Taylor as the former couple ‘file for divorce’

Millie Mackintosh has openly shared that she was hesitant to share her personal life with fans and actively avoided talking about her split from Hugo Taylor online.

Earlier this year, the Daily Mail reported that Made In Chelsea stars, who have two daughters – Sienna, age five, and Aurelia, age four – have split up after seven years of marriage. They have since reportedly begun divorce proceedings.

Millie, 36, didn’t speak directly about her divorce, but explained that recent personal issues have made her more private about her life.

She’s well-known for being open and honest, having previously discussed her ADHD, struggles with alcohol, and her sexuality. These revelations reportedly contributed to difficulties in her marriage. You can read the complete story here.

Millie recently shared on Instagram that she met a fan who told her they appreciated her openness about ADHD and mental health. The fan said Millie’s honesty resonated with them, as they share similar challenges, and they thanked her for being authentic.

The TV personality described the meeting as emotionally difficult. She explained that she’s been struggling to present herself online due to personal issues she prefers to keep private.

I usually share a lot about my life, so this break from posting felt like a sudden distance between us, like I wasn’t letting you all in anymore.

She shared that the experience reminded her of how wonderful the online community can be, and confirmed that being genuine in her content truly makes a difference for others.

Millie and Hugo have reportedly each hired lawyers, and both want a clear and final separation, though they plan to continue raising their children together in a friendly way.

Just hours before announcing his split, Hugo, 39, went back on Instagram after a several-month absence. His last post had been in December.

This weekend, he shared a selfie on his Instagram Story, showing himself enjoying the sunshine. He was wearing a patterned shirt and dark sunglasses in the photo.

According to a source, the couple has ended their relationship and both want to move on without drama, which will likely disappoint fans.

Millie and Hugo are dedicated to raising their two young children together and providing a consistent environment for them. They remain friendly and have a lot of respect for each other.

I’ve been following this situation closely, and it seems they’ve shared with The Sun that their main goal right now is to get through this divorce as smoothly as possible. They’re really throwing themselves into their work to help with that, which I can understand – it must be incredibly difficult.

The Daily Mail has contacted Millie and Hugo’s representatives for comment. 

The couple, who first became romantically involved while appearing on the TV show Made In Chelsea as teenagers, had been married since June 2018.

Millie and Hugo have separated earlier this year, according to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail.

After knowing each other for a long time, they recently had some difficult talks about their future and have decided to separate.

Their children and family are the most important thing to them, and they never wanted to separate.

They’re currently figuring out what it would be like to live separately and how they’ll share the responsibilities of raising their young children.

The beginning of the year has been really challenging, and they’re hoping to continue dealing with things privately.

People close to Millie and Hugo say they are dedicated to raising their children together and making sure their kids feel loved and supported, even though they are no longer a couple. Their children remain their main focus.

Last month, Millie went to India for a wellness retreat focused on calming and restoring the nervous system, while Hugo enjoyed a ski trip.

While on vacation, the television personality was seen without her wedding ring and hinted on social media that she was starting a new phase of her life.

She also posted a quote that read: ‘You don’t always have to know what comes next in your journey. 

It’s important to allow yourself to simply be present and accept where you are in life. There’s a real power and beauty in self-acceptance, especially right now, in this very moment.

Whatever your goals are, remember that enjoying today is just as important as working towards the future.

She also posted a quote to her Instagram story that read: ‘And then the moon said to me, dear girl, it’s time to embrace your strength.’

The couple’s relationship was first followed on Made In Chelsea. 

Their six-month relationship ended in 2011 after Millie accused him of having an affair with her close friend and co-worker, Rosie Fortescue.
