Millie Mackintosh’s divorce from Professor Green hasn’t "put her off" marriage.
The ‘Made In Chelsea’ star can’t wait to tie the knot with her fiancé Hugo Taylor, despite her "painful" split from the 34-year-old rapper.
She said: "I’m not going to go there. I know it has been said that our upbringings may have been the foundation for the breakup, but those comments only degrade the relationship and time we spent together, and I certainly don’t feel that way about that period of my life or Stephen. We went our separate ways amicably. Sometimes it can be as simple as finding yourselves on different paths, and for us it was about respecting those journeys and each other’s wishes by parting ways. We have since both moved on. I only wish him the best. Going through a divorce is very painful and you learn a lot about yourself. But it hasn’t put me off marriage and I’m really excited about marrying Hugo. I wouldn’t ever want to be without him."
Hugo and Millie had dated in the past but the 28-year-old socialite feels they needed time apart to come back together even stronger than before.
She added to the Daily Mail’s You magazine: "I’ve known Hugo half my life and we are very different people to the ones we were a few years ago. We’ve both grown up. I met him when I was 16 … He was on the other side of the dancefloor in jeans and a leather jacket, and we caught each other’s eye. There was definitely an instant attraction. By the end of the night we’d got talking and had a cheeky snog. We dated on and off, but we both dated other people and it was never properly serious till this time …
"I didn’t see Hugo much once I left the show, and then after my divorce I reconnected with old friends and we found ourselves back at the same gatherings. We were both older, we were both in different places. He was respectful and sensitive, and I felt completely comfortable in his company. He knows me so well and always looks out for me. I knew after everything he really was the right one for me. We both want children in a few years’ time, we’re open to the idea of living in Los Angeles for a while and we’re both so happy to be together again. He’s the man I want to be married to for life."
