Millie Mackintosh and Hugo Taylor have reportedly filed for divorce just a month after their unexpected split following seven years of marriage. The Made in Chelsea couple, who share daughters Sienna, 5, and Aurelia, 4, quietly separated after a challenging year, with sources confirming that both Millie, 36, and Hugo, 39, are keen for a “clean break” while remaining committed to co-parenting their young children.
The couple’s split came after a series of struggles in their marriage, which were believed to have been intensified by Millie’s public admissions about her sexuality. A source revealed: “Fans will be heartbroken to hear that their relationship is really over, but the pair just want a clean break. They are focused on co-parenting and keeping things stable for their children. They are still very amicable with each other and have a lot of respect for one another.”
Millie and Hugo, who met as teenagers and married in June 2018, have appointed legal teams to help facilitate the divorce process as smoothly as possible. The source continued, “They want the divorce to go through without any drama, and right now they’re focusing on their work.”
The couple’s breakup has been described as an incredibly difficult start to the year, with insiders revealing that Millie and Hugo are still adjusting to the idea of living apart. “Their main priority is their children and family life. They never imagined they’d be in this position,” the source added. “They’re now navigating what life apart will look like, but they’re both determined to keep things amicable for the sake of their family.”
Millie has been seen embracing a new chapter in her life, sharing posts on social media while attending a wellness retreat in India last month. Pictured without her wedding ring, she posted a quote on Instagram that read: “You don’t always have to know what comes next in your journey. Sometimes, you just need to be where you are and know that it’s okay to be there.”
Although their relationship had its fair share of drama, including a split in 2011 when Millie accused Hugo of cheating with her best friend Rosie Fortescue, the couple managed to reconcile and marry years later.
Now, both Millie and Hugo are focused on what comes next, as they look to co-parent their children and maintain a peaceful, respectful relationship moving forward.
