Millie Mackintosh has officially moved out of the marital home she shared with her ex-husband Hugo Taylor. The former Made In Chelsea stars, who were married for seven years and have two daughters, Sienna and Aurelia, announced their separation in early February.
Mackintosh shared her experience of the move on Instagram, describing the process as "healing" despite the circumstances. "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 wrote.
She indicated that her next chapter will be "written entirely on my own terms." Mackintosh posted photos of empty rooms and packed boxes, stating, "This is what starting again actually looks like. Not glamorous, not perfectly styled, just honest, and mine. I've learned more about myself in this in-between that I have in years."
Mackintosh also reflected on the emotional weight of moving, noting, "Every room a little emptier today, and me a little lighter for it. Funny how a house holds so much of you without you ever realising, until you have to carry it all out the door." She added, "Slowly, slowly it starts to look like somewhere new. One chair at a time, one plant at a time, building a home that's entirely mine feels like its own kind of healing."
She admitted that writing the caption had been difficult, encompassing a mix of emotions. "This move has been so many things at once, exciting, overwhelming, sad, hopeful, all wrapped into one very long day surrounded by boxes," she explained. "Starting again somewhere new has taught me more about who I am than I expected. Turns out you can grieve a chapter and be genuinely excited for the next one at the same time."
Mackintosh and Taylor have officially filed for divorce and have reportedly appointed legal teams, with both parties aiming for a "clean break" while continuing to co-parent their children. The couple had previously spent months renovating their £5 million family home, documenting the project through updates.
Reflecting on the renovation in April 2025, Mackintosh described the process as demanding but ultimately rewarding, noting the time, energy, and patience involved. "When I look back to the early days — the plans, the moodboards, the dust (so much dust!), the endless decisions and all the highs and lows that come with a project like this — it honestly feels like a lifetime ago," she stated. "But seeing it now, I’m so proud of everything we put into it."
