Millie Mackintosh has officially moved out of the marital home she shared with ex-husband Hugo Taylor, describing the process as 'healing' and the start of a new chapter written 'on my own terms.' The former Made In Chelsea stars, who share two daughters, Sienna and Aurelia, announced their split in early February after seven years of marriage.
Mackintosh shared her experience of the move on Instagram, posting photos of empty rooms and packed boxes. She stated that while divorce was not the outcome she envisioned, the moving process has been a positive one. "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. "This is what starting again actually looks like. Not glamorous, not perfectly styled, just honest, and mine."
She reflected on the personal growth experienced during this transition. "I've learned more about myself in this in-between that I have in years. 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 noted. "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."
Mackintosh admitted that writing the caption had been difficult, acknowledging the complex emotions involved. "This move has been so many things at once, exciting, overwhelming, sad, hopeful, all wrapped into one very long day surrounded by boxes. 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 are reportedly seeking a "clean break" while continuing to co-parent their children. Before their separation, the couple had spent several months renovating their family home, a project they frequently shared updates about. In April 2025, Mackintosh posted about the year-long renovation, highlighting the effort and patience involved in transforming the house and the satisfaction of reaching a stage where they were focusing on the personal touches that make a house a home.
