TV star Hugo Taylor has expressed his “considerable sadness” over the past year in a statement addressing “the end of my marriage” with Millie Mackintosh.
The former Made In Chelsea stars, who married in 2018 and have two young daughters, have faced months of speculation that they had split earlier this year.
Taylor, 40, confirmed the rumours as he broke his silence with a lengthy statement shared to his Instagram Story on Wednesday.

He wrote: “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.
“While the past year has brought considerable sadness, I remain grateful for what matters most in my life.
“We share two wonderful young daughters and my responsibility is to be the best father I can be, continuing to give them the love, security and consistency they deserve.
“I have been deeply moved by the kindness and support I have received from friends and family, and look forward to the future with faith and optimism.”

Taylor and Mackintosh first started dating in 2011 when they appeared on the E4 reality show together, but split the following year.
Mackintosh later started dating rapper Professor Green, real name Stephen Manderson, and they wed in 2013.
After their split in 2016, she rekindled her romance with Taylor, whom she married two years later during a lavish ceremony in Sussex.
They welcomed their first daughter Sienna in 2020, and their youngest Aurelia was born the following year.
