Millie Mackintosh burst into tears as she moved into her new rental home while navigating single life. The reality star took to Instagram to share a video of herself unpacking her personal belongings and assembling flat-pack furniture in her new home.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 37, documented herself sitting on the floor of the living room in her new home as she burst into tears. But despite the struggles, Millie said she was "finding a bit of strength" as she looked towards the future.
Emotional Move
Captioning her post, the mum-of-two wrote: "I filmed this a couple of weeks ago while getting the house all set up and cosy before we moved in. Box after box, room after room, there’s something oddly satisfying about putting together flat-pack furniture with your own two hands. Especially when you don’t even own a screwdriver."
"New chapter, new walls, and somehow finding a bit of strength in the chaos of it all. Since moving in, lots of you have asked me how I found the house I'm renting. Honestly… I had so much help."
Millie continued: "My wonderful friend @lucie.hirst held my hand through the whole process. She sources off-market places, handled the viewings and agents, and did all the tricky admin bits and bobs. It made a stressful time so much less complicated and it’s really starting to feel like home."
Support from Fans
Her post was instantly flooded with support. One person wrote: "Sending love. I'm sure it will feel like home in no time." Another said: "It's the only way, nobody else lives in your head. People have lots to say an opinions but ultimately only you know how to live in the best way to be the best version of you for your children. Carpe diem."
A follower penned: "You're going to make it into the best and most cosy home for you and the girls and you're showing them to be strong, independent and you'll make the best memories with them."
"You got this and you don't have to heal on your own really. Just let the light shine through you," a follower insisted.
Split from Hugo Taylor
Millie and Hugo let cameras into their love story in the early seasons of Made in Chelsea but initially split in 2011. Following her marriage to Professor Green, the influencer rekindled her romance with her former flame in 2018.
They went on to welcome daughters Sienna and Aurelia together, before going their separate ways this year.
Just last month, Millie revealed that she had moved out of the home she shared with her now-ex-husband, a process she found "healing".
She said: "Moving day. Nervous, excited, everything all at once. And so it begins. New postcode, new front door, new chapter written entirely on my own terms this time. 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."
"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 than 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."
"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."
