Millie Mackintosh has reportedly joined the celebrity dating app Raya, approximately four months after her separation from husband Hugo Taylor. Sources close to the former "Made In Chelsea" star indicated that friends encouraged her to try the app.
Mackintosh's profile on Raya allegedly describes her as a "creator, entrepreneur and author." In a nod to her return to the dating scene, her chosen track on the app is Lizzo's "About Damn Time." While sources suggest Mackintosh is not in a rush to start a new relationship, she is reportedly open to "having some fun and getting back out there." Her profile expresses a desire to find someone with "emotional intelligence."
A source told The Sun that Mackintosh, a mother of two, is finding it challenging to meet new people due to her busy schedule, and her friends prompted her to sign up for Raya. The source added that while she and Taylor share a long history and two daughters, Mackintosh is prepared to "have some fun and get out there again."
Mackintosh and Taylor, who share daughters Sienna, six, and Aurelia, four, announced their split in February after seven years of marriage. Earlier in June, Mackintosh announced she was moving out of their £5 million marital home, which they had recently renovated. The couple has officially filed for divorce and has appointed legal teams, with both reportedly seeking a "clean break" while prioritizing amicable co-parenting of their children.
The pair first met as teenagers and began dating when Mackintosh was 21. They both rose to fame on the E4 reality series "Made In Chelsea." Mackintosh was previously married to rapper Professor Green from 2013 until their divorce in 2016, the same year she reconnected with Taylor. Mackintosh and Taylor married in 2018. Their first daughter, Sienna, was born in May 2020, and Aurelia followed in November 2021.
In recent years, Mackintosh has spoken openly about her past struggles with alcohol, leading her to become teetotal and write the book "Bad Drunk." She has shared her experiences with binge drinking, which began at a young age, as a coping mechanism for being away from home, bullying, and insecurities. Mackintosh and Taylor were part of the original cast of "Made In Chelsea" when it debuted in 2011. The show continues to be a staple on E4, now in its 31st series.
