Hugo Taylor Speaks Out About Millie Mackintosh Split, Admits to ‘Considerable Sadness’

Hugo Taylor has spoken publicly about the end of his marriage to Millie Mackintosh, describing the past year as one of “considerable sadness” in a statement shared on Instagram Stories on Wednesday, 14 October.

The Made in Chelsea star, 40, said he had refrained from commenting on their separation to protect his family’s privacy and provide stability for their two daughters, Sienna and Aurelia.

“I have refrained from making any personal public comment on the end of my marriage out of respect for our family’s privacy and the importance of maintaining stability for our daughters during a period of significant change,” he wrote.

“While the past year has brought considerable sadness, I remain grateful for what matters most in my life.”

Taylor added that he was committed to giving his daughters the “love, security and consistency they deserve” as the family adjusts to the separation.

“I have been deeply moved by the kindness and support I have received from friends and family, and look to the future with faith and optimism,” he continued.

Taylor and Mackintosh met through Made in Chelsea in 2011. After an earlier breakup, they reconciled and married in Sussex in 2018. They welcomed Sienna in 2020 and Aurelia in 2021.

Mackintosh, 37, was previously married to rapper Professor Green, whose real name is Stephen Manderson. They wed in 2013 and divorced in 2016.

Taylor and Mackintosh’s separation emerged in February 2026, after seven years of marriage. Neither has publicly explained the circumstances behind their decision to part ways.

Mackintosh has since gone public with her relationship with Matthew Tanner, 38. She shared a photograph of them on Instagram Stories after Tanner posted a selfie of the pair during a walk. They were also photographed together at the Boodles Old Bond Street flagship opening in London earlier in October.

Taylor did not mention Tanner in his statement, focusing instead on the emotional impact of the separation and his commitment to his daughters.
