Millie Mackintosh recently showcased a bold fashion choice, attending the Hunger Games premiere in a plunging gown. The appearance coincided with a social media post that featured lyrics referencing past relationships, a move interpreted by some as a response to recent public statements made by her ex-husband, Hugo Taylor.
Mackintosh, 37, who previously starred in "Made in Chelsea," has since moved on with new boyfriend Matthew Tanner, 38. The couple's split occurred approximately eight months ago. Taylor, 40, recently commented on the past year, noting it had brought "considerable sadness" but expressing gratitude for their two young daughters, Sienna, six, and Aurelia, four.
Following Taylor's remarks, Mackintosh posted a transition video on social media, moving from a casual, pampering state to wearing a striking black Retrofête gown. The accompanying audio featured Tate McRae's song "exes," with lyrics including "Kisses to my exes who don't give a s**t about me." This has been seen as a pointed commentary on their past relationship.
This event follows Mackintosh's previous social media activity. Last week, after Taylor shared an emotional statement about their marriage dissolution, Mackintosh posted from a trip to Ibiza with friends, captioned, "Girls be like 'I needed this' and it's just a divorce and a wellness retreat." Earlier that week, she had also shared a cryptic quote about "bitter hearts" shortly after Taylor broke his silence.
Taylor's statement emphasized his focus on maintaining stability for their daughters. He wrote, "I have refrained from making any personal public comment on the end of my marriage out of respect for our family's privacy and the importance of maintaining stability for our daughters during a period of significant change." He added, "While the past year has brought considerable sadness, I remain grateful for what matters most in my life." Taylor and Mackintosh, who were married for seven years, officially filed for divorce in February. Their daughters now divide their time between their separate homes.
Taylor had also shared a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring," which contains the lines "All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither. Deep roots are not reached by the frost." This quote offers a reinterpretation of the traditional proverb "All that glitters is not gold," suggesting that outward appearances can be deceptive.
Mackintosh and Tanner were first seen together earlier this month, holding hands during a dog walk. She later brought Tanner as her guest to the Boodles Old Bond Street flagship opening and subsequently featured him on her Instagram. Tanner, a Global Solutions Director and Programme Director at Robert Walters Consultancy, shares Mackintosh's interest in fitness and wellness. He is an accomplished endurance athlete, with plans for multiple marathons and ultra-marathons in the coming years.
Mackintosh, who joined the celebrity dating app Raya over the summer, reportedly described herself in her profile as a "creator, entrepreneur and author," seeking someone with "emotional intelligence."
Mackintosh and Taylor's relationship initially gained public attention on "Made in Chelsea," where they met and began dating in 2011. Their public breakup occurred after Mackintosh discovered Taylor had been unfaithful with her friend. Following this, they split in 2011, and both eventually departed the show. After a five-year separation, during which Mackintosh was married to rapper Professor Green and later divorced, she and Taylor reconciled in 2016. They married, had two daughters, and renovated a home in London before their recent separation.
