Millie Mackintosh became emotional as she moved into a new rental property following her split from husband Hugo Taylor. The 37-year-old former "Made in Chelsea" personality documented the process of unpacking and assembling flat-pack furniture in a video shared on Instagram. While setting up her new living space, Mackintosh became tearful, describing the experience as finding "a bit of strength in the chaos" as she embarks on a new chapter.
In her Instagram post, Mackintosh detailed the satisfaction of assembling furniture, even without a screwdriver. She noted the support she received during the house-hunting process from a friend who helped source off-market properties and manage administrative tasks, which eased the stress of moving.
Last month, Mackintosh announced she had moved out of the marital home she shared with her ex-husband, calling the process a "healing" experience. She described the move as a new beginning, writing on Instagram that "divorce isn't the ending I imagined for myself, but this house, this next bit feels like proof that new beginnings really can be beautiful even when they start with cardboard boxes and lots of uncertainty." She shared images of empty rooms and packed boxes, reflecting that the experience was not glamorous but honest and entirely her own. Mackintosh stated that she had learned more about herself during this transition period.
Mackintosh and Taylor have officially filed for divorce and have appointed legal teams, reportedly aiming for a "clean break" while continuing to co-parent. Prior to their separation, the couple had spent several months renovating their £5 million family home, frequently sharing updates on the project. Mackintosh had previously marked a year into their renovation, highlighting the time, energy, and effort invested. She expressed pride in the completed work, noting that the focus had shifted to personalizing the space with art and books to make it feel like a home.
