The End of a Long Journey
It’s always tough when two people decide to call it quits, especially in public. Millie Mackintosh and Hugo Taylor have announced their split after seven years of marriage, leaving fans heartbroken. The reality TV couple, known for their appearances on Made In Chelsea, are now navigating the complexities of co-parenting while moving forward with their lives.
From Teenage Crush to Lifelong Partners
Made in 2013 when Millie was just 16 and Hugo a few years her senior, their journey to becoming lifelong partners has been anything but smooth. Their relationship began on E4’s reality show, where they first dated. They married two years later, tying the knot in June 2018.
Despite their long history together, Millie recently revealed that she had an “addictive tendency,” which included mixing Xanax or Valium with alcohol to ease hangovers. She admitted hiding this from Hugo and acknowledged it caused significant damage to their relationship.
A Difficult Start but a Commitment to Family
Though their marriage faced challenges, the couple remains committed to co-parenting their daughters Sienna (5) and Aurelia (4). In an interview with Roxie Nafousi on her podcast Rise with Roxie, Millie spoke candidly about the difficulties they experienced. She explained how she would mix Xanax or Valium with alcohol to ease her hangovers, admitting she had replaced one addiction with another and concealed it from Hugo.
“I mean, I hid it from him. Like he didn’t know, the Xanax use was like he didn’t really know that was going on,” Millie said, revealing how this hidden addiction impacted their relationship.
A New Chapter for Both of Them
Millie has often reflected on her relationship with Hugo and the ups and downs they experienced. On Valentine’s Day in 2024, she shared a series of loved-up photos with Hugo on Instagram, expressing how lucky she felt to have found her soulmate. However, their recent split is a stark reminder that even long-term relationships can face challenges.
As Millie embarks on what promises to be a new chapter in her life, it’s clear that the focus remains on her daughters and maintaining a loving family environment.
For now, the couple will work through this difficult period privately, ensuring their children remain at the center of their lives despite the changes.
With Millie recently traveling to India for a wellness retreat and Hugo spending time skiing, it’s clear that both are trying to find peace in their own ways as they navigate this transition. The journey ahead may be bumpy, but one thing is certain: their love for each other—and more importantly, their children—remains strong.
