Former Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh has shared an intimate Instagram video showcasing a fashion try-on session, just weeks after announcing her separation from husband Hugo Taylor. The 36-year-old reality television personality, who split from Taylor last month after seven years of marriage, posted the clip on Tuesday alongside a message about finding courage.
An Empowering Fashion Display
In the video filmed in her home hallway, Mackintosh told her followers, "I'm having a little try on for a few events I have coming up." She first modeled a £39 Intimissimi nude triangle bra, highlighting her toned physique, before transitioning to a complete checked suit from Never Fully Dressed.
The ensemble featured a £149 blazer and £99 matching trousers, layered over a smart blue shirt. "I'm having a little try on for a few events I have coming up," she explained to fans during the demonstration.
Multiple Outfit Combinations
A second clip revealed Mackintosh wearing the same bra while pulling on a £129 Boden indigo denim waistcoat, which she coordinated with matching jeans and boots. The television personality confidently displayed her abdominal muscles during this segment of the try-on session.
This fashion presentation follows Mackintosh's recent participation in beauty guru Trinny Woodall's Game Changers event, where she joined other women celebrating new beginnings.
Post-Split Reflections and Activities
The Instagram activity comes after Mackintosh posted about "having the courage to start again on her own terms" following her separation announcement on February 2. The couple, who share daughters Sienna, five, and four-year-old Aurelia, had been married since June 2018 after first meeting as teenagers on Made In Chelsea.
During Woodall's event last week, Mackintosh participated in axe-throwing activities and later shared a photograph with the host. Her caption expressed inspiration from "meeting women who have had the courage to start again, evolve, and build something on their own terms."
Navigating Separation and Family Life
A source close to the couple revealed to the Daily Mail that Mackintosh and Taylor "are currently going through a separation and have sadly decided to split." The insider explained that after serious conversations about their future, they determined parting ways was better for both individuals.
"Their main priority remains their children and family life," the source emphasized, noting that separating "is not something they ever hoped would happen." The couple is reportedly considering practical arrangements for living apart and co-parenting their young children while managing the situation privately.
Recent Travel and Personal Growth
Last month, Mackintosh traveled to India to attend a wellness retreat designed to "heal" the nervous system, while Taylor enjoyed a skiing holiday separately. During her retreat stay, the reality star shared several posts alluding to a new chapter in her life, including one without her wedding ring visible.
She posted a reflective quote stating, "You don't always have to know what comes next in your journey. Sometimes you just need to be where you are and know that it's okay to be there." Another Instagram story featured the message: "And then the moon said to me, dear girl, it's time to own your f***ing power."
Relationship History and Challenges
Mackintosh and Taylor's relationship has experienced previous turbulence. After six months of dating during their Made In Chelsea tenure, their relationship encountered difficulties when Mackintosh accused Taylor of cheating with her best friend and co-star Rosie Fortescue, leading to a 2011 breakup before they eventually reconciled and married.
Sources close to both individuals confirm they remain committed to co-parenting their daughters and maintaining a loving family environment despite their personal separation.
