Fearne Cotton new romance

56 replies

So it seems Fearne Cotton left her husband for another man who apparently left his wife of 20 years on Boxing Day & was seen snogging Fearne in public this week. It seems his wife found out he had a new partner from the media.

Why do people behave like this when kids are involved on both sides?

Yes you should end your relationship if you have feelings for someone else rather than have an affair but take it slowly at first surely, particularly if you are in the public eye.
I always liked her but I think this behaviour is a bit crap. Poor kids.

And the new bloke looks a bit ridiculous at 53 with that dyed blonde hair.

What behaviour though? You don’t know anything about her split or her new relationship so how can you make an assumption on what is too soon?

CottageGoblin · 05/03/2025 08:42

Well…Fearne and her husband announced their divorce in Dec. And they were on the rocks before that.

And as for finding out in the media about a new partner, well I’m not surprised but I don’t think it’s anything to get in a tizzy about.

MidnightPatrol · 05/03/2025 08:43

YANU to think you have any understanding of their personal lives based of what the Daily Mail tells you

MorrisZapp · 05/03/2025 08:50

It's OK, none of this will affect you.

Hoplolly · 05/03/2025 08:59

She's single, he's single.

It is shit how everyone thinks that you owe them if you are in the public eye. Everyone thinks that they know the ins and outs, everyone has an opinion without knowing the full details.

Dearg · 05/03/2025 09:03

I am not a fan of, however I don’t’t think this is any of my business.

It happens to someone here on MN every day of the week, so it’s hardly unusual.

The press is a shitty way to find out, but actually, we don’t know what has gone on, or been said behind closed doors. Let’s not feed the media gossip mongers.

TheMorels · 05/03/2025 09:04

They’re both single, good luck to them. Can’t believe that guy is 53, he looks a lot younger.

Neveranynamesleft · 05/03/2025 09:10

Why is their business your business?

I thought that too when I saw his pic!

ItShouldntHappenToMeYet · 05/03/2025 09:15

Why have you announced this? Do I need to build an Anderson shelter in my garden? Stockpile lavatory rolls? Buy shedloads of bottled water?
How is the news of a tiny, tiny s'lebs new shag affecting any of us? And why is it our business.
Don't feed the beast. The faily dail is in the gutter, the weeny celeb is irrelevant

Chuchoter · 05/03/2025 09:20

Two married people with children suddenly announce their leaving at similar times, one did so on Boxing Day.

They've been good friends for years and have both come out of long married but a few weeks later are photographed snogging in public!

Translation = AFFAIR.

It's a bit rich of Cotton as she's always banging on about her mental health in the most tiresome manner yet she doesn't give a toss about her married man's wife and children!

Really?

He looks like a regular, 53 year old man. I know loads of men of a similar age who look like this.

His hair's giving Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner vibes though.

JaninaDuszejko · 05/03/2025 09:29

Agree with @Mach3, as someone who is married to a 53 year old he looks like any other 53 year old that hasn't got fat and bald.

TheMorels · 05/03/2025 09:31

I think it’s the youthful locks.

I have a 53 year old. He’s stayed very slim and his hair is still black, but there’s not much of it 😂

sourgrapes45 · 05/03/2025 09:33

I get what you mean op. If it was me and I was a celeb likely to get papped I wouldn't be snogging on the street. It seems like an insensitive way to let people who are clearly going to be upset by the news (exes, kids etc) know about it.

I mean I won't lose sleep over it but I do agree it's a bit shitty.

SalfordQuays · 05/03/2025 09:34

Her priority is her children apparently. Which is why she had a long screaming row with her husband in a park a while ago, presumably while the kids were on the swings. And why she’s publicly snogging her “new” boyfriend 2 months after turning her kids’ lives upside down. Classy.

eqpi4t2hbsnktd · 05/03/2025 09:56

Find her very annoying... wish I married into the Rolling Stones family!

SunsetCocktails · 05/03/2025 10:38

I think she's got bored of the super healthy food/yoga/take care of your mental health type lifestyle. She recently said somewhere she just wants to go out and get pissed and have some more fun. She's probably hit her 40s and is suddenly missing the party lifestyle.

Orangesinthebag · 05/03/2025 13:12

It's none of my business but this is a chat forum and it's just chat - calm down everyone!

Her ex is way better looking

yup I have a 55 year old, and he looks pretty good (actually has been mistaken for a few years younger, but while I think he is pretty special, I think he's just not overweight, not a smoker/spent long in the sun, has his own hair, so generally looks good)

And you've never argued in public with your STBX? I bet if you have, you weren't papped while doing it

I agree but we'll be flamed on Mumsnet @Chuchoter
