Millie Mackintosh describes moving out of the marital home she shared with ex Hugo Taylor as ‘healing’ and says her next chapter is on ‘her terms’

Millie Mackintosh officially moved out of the marital home she shared with her ex husband Hugo Taylor on Monday. 

The former Made In Chelsea stars split in early February after seven years of marriage, during which time they welcomed daughters Sienna, six, and Aurelia, four.

And opening up in her recent Instagram, Millie shared snaps from the moving process as she revealed that while divorce isn’t what she had imagined for herself, she has found the moving process a ‘healing’ one. 

Taking a swipe at Hugo, she shared that this next chapter will be ‘written entirely on my own terms’. 

She penned: ‘Moving day. Nervous, excited, everything all at once. And so it begins. New postcode, new front door, new chapter written entirely on my own terms this time.

‘Divorce isn’t the ending I imagined for myself, but this house, this next bit feels like proof that new beginnings really can be beautiful even when they start with cardboard boxes and lots of uncertainty.’

Sharing snaps of the empty rooms and packed boxes she continued: ‘This is what starting again actually looks like. Not glamorous, not perfectly styled, just honest, and mine. I’ve learned more about myself in this in-between that I have in years. 

‘Every room a little emptier today, and me a little lighter for it. Funny how a house holds so much of you without you ever realising, until you have to carry it all out the door. 

‘Slowly, slowly it starts to look like somewhere new. One chair at a time, one plant at a time, building a home that’s entirely mine feels like its own kind of healing.’ 

Admitting she had found the caption hard to write, she said: ‘I’ve put off writing this caption for a few days because I wasn’t quite sure how to sum it all up. 

‘This move has been so many things at once, exciting, overwhelming, sad, hopeful, all wrapped into one very long day surrounded by boxes. Starting again somewhere new has taught me more about who I am than I expected. 

‘Turns out you can grieve a chapter and be genuinely excited for the next one at the same time.’

Millie and Hugo have officially filed for divorce and have both appointed legal teams, with the pair said to be keen for a ‘clean break’ while continuing to co-parent.

Before their separation, Millie and Hugo spent months completing a full renovation on their £5million family home, regularly sharing updates about the project.

In April 2025, Millie posted a year into their renovation, revealing that the past 12 months had included ‘time, energy and late nights’.

Millie said: ‘It’s wild to think it’s been a whole year since we started our renovation… sometimes you get so caught up in the day-to-day that you forget to stop and appreciate just how far you’ve come.

‘When I look back to the early days — the plans, the moodboards, the dust (so much dust!), the endless decisions and all the highs and lows that come with a project like this — it honestly feels like a lifetime ago.’

She continued: ‘It took time, energy, late nights and a lot of patience… but seeing it now, I’m so proud of everything we put into it.

‘The best part? We’re finally at the stage where it’s about the little things. Filling the space with art, books and those pieces you pick up over time that make a house feel like home.

‘There’s still plenty I want to do — but it feels really special to pause, look back and soak it all in.’

Months before, Millie had posted pictures of her old kitchen which she had transformed into a cosy snug.

But now Millie is ready to get stuck into a new project after moving into her new place following their split.
