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.

Kaia Gerber has been spotted in Los Angeles for the first time since the death of her older brother, Presley Gerber, who died aged 27 on 20 September.

Presley was the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber. He died at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California, according to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. Police are investigating the death as a suspected overdose, although the official cause of death has not been confirmed.

Kaia previously spoke about her brother’s struggles with drug addiction in an interview published in Vogue on 11 August. She described how his experiences affected the family and explained why she was proud of his decision to speak publicly about his difficulties.

“My parents … were very, very private,” she said. “Now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who said, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone.’”

Presley had discussed his mental health and substance-use struggles publicly, including through social media. His willingness to share those experiences became an important part of Kaia’s reflections on their family life.

The siblings also shared professional connections. Both pursued modelling careers and appeared together in a Calvin Klein Jeans global advertising campaign in 2018. Kaia later established herself as an actress, with roles in film and television alongside her modelling work.

Cindy and Rande were also seen together in Malibu on 10 October, walking hand in hand along Zuma Beach in their first reported public outing as a couple since their son’s death. The family has asked for privacy following the loss.

Kaia’s appearance at the gym comes as the family continues to deal with Presley’s death away from the public spotlight. Authorities have yet to establish the official cause of his death.

Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she has gained 30lb (approximately 13.6kg) following a period of dramatic weight loss after the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, in July 2025.

The television personality, 41, spoke about her changing appearance after seeing photographs of herself at the 2026 BRIT Awards on 28 February. She attended the ceremony with her mother, Sharon Osbourne, to accept a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award honouring the late Black Sabbath frontman.

“I didn’t know that I looked like that until I saw the pictures,” Kelly said, describing her reaction to the photographs.

She also discussed how grief affected her ability to look after herself. Explaining the difficulties she experienced during that period, she said: “I just couldn’t do anything for myself.” She added that eating made her feel as though she wanted to throw up.

Kelly’s comments offer an insight into the personal difficulties she faced following her father’s death, which came shortly after Black Sabbath’s farewell performance. Ozzy died on 22 July 2025, aged 76.

The singer’s death was a major loss for the Osbourne family, who had shared aspects of their lives with television audiences through the reality series The Osbournes. Kelly has since spoken about the impact of losing her father and the challenges of managing her grief while raising her son, Sidney.

In discussing that period, Kelly described how distressed she had become and expressed concern about her son seeing her in that state. Her account also highlighted the support she received from her family and a professional who helped her during a difficult time.

Kelly said she had been struggling emotionally and described turning to a personal ritual involving a white candle at her father’s grave. She explained that her mother later introduced her to Chris Miller, whom she credited with helping her through the experience.

The disclosure provides further context for the attention Kelly’s appearance has received in recent months. Her weight loss prompted public speculation about her health, but discussion of her appearance has not necessarily reflected what she was experiencing privately.

Kelly has previously spoken about being criticised over her weight at different stages of her life. Her latest comments return attention to the personal circumstances behind the changes, including the loss of her father and the emotional difficulties that followed.

Her account also highlights the importance of support during bereavement. While Kelly’s weight has changed, her comments suggest that the period following Ozzy’s death involved difficulties that extended beyond her physical appearance.

The Osbourne family has continued to deal with the loss of Ozzy, whose decades-long career made him one of rock music’s most recognisable figures. For Kelly, the months since his death have brought significant personal challenges as she continues to navigate life without him.
