Eighties pop sensation and X Factor personality Sinitta has announced she is starting the new year as a single woman, confirming the end of her year-long relationship with a mystery man.
An Empowering Announcement on Social Media
The singer, 62, best known for her hit 'Toy Boy', chose to share the personal news in a characteristically bold fashion. She posted a photograph of herself in light-coloured lingerie on Instagram, showcasing her slender frame, alongside a lengthy and positive caption about the virtues of solitude.
"There is nothing wrong with starting the year single," Sinitta wrote. "Being Alone is also a gift. Time to reflect, learn and grow peacefully and in your own time." She elaborated that some relationships transform into friendships or become pleasant memories, urging her followers not to fear being alone but to embrace and celebrate themselves.
A Private Romance That Captured Attention
The star had been dating the unidentified man since July 2024, but had always kept his identity private. In a past interview with OK! magazine, she had expressed her happiness, describing him simply as "a really nice man" who was obsessed with football.
This romance came after a significant period of being single following her divorce from Andy Willner in 2010, after eight years of marriage. The couple share two children, Zac and Magdalena. Sinitta had previously revealed that her children were delighted she had found someone, with her son Zac having been particularly concerned about her love life.
A History of High-Profile Relationships
Sinitta is no stranger to famous ex-partners. Her romantic history includes a two-year relationship with music mogul Simon Cowell in the eighties and even a past link to Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt.
Reflecting on these connections, she once humorously told New magazine, "I don't just date famous, super-rich men, I create them!" She added that she saw herself as a "lucky charm" in their lives. Her latest relationship may have ended, but the star's message is clear: she is entering this new chapter with strength and self-assurance.
Concluding her heartfelt Instagram post, Sinitta wrote, "Release and be released with peace and love and best intentions for each other. Remember together you were Stronger, but alone you were still strong."
