Millie Mackintosh found her way onto our radars via reality show Made In Chelsea, but it would be a huge mistake to underestimate this fashion industry force, and her sharp eye for detail, business and life structure.
Juggling parenting with her husband Hugo Taylor, 36, with whom she shares daughters Sienna, who turns three in May, and Aurelia, 16 months, gives Millie an unwavering focus when it comes to business, and an energy that’s infectious to be around.
Speaking exclusively to OK! at the launch of her new fashion venture with luxury swim and resort wear brand Paolita, Millie, 33, shares the realities of her life post-pandemic, her advice for moving through challenging times, and why she’s now taking the time to really focus on her health.
You’re looking really well, Millie. Can you tell us about your recent lifestyle shifts?
Thank you. I’m seven months into no alcohol and I’m really focusing on my gut health. After having the kids, I kept getting sick. I’d get taken down by something, recover for about a week, and then get taken down by something else. I was so tired of constantly being ill, so I’ve been seeing an amazing naturopath, and she did some tests and it turns out I’ve got leaky gut syndrome, which affects your immunity. I’ve been focusing on my health and eating in a certain way to try to heal my gut. There’s lots I want to share about this, so I’m putting it all in a podcast episode that’s coming out soon. I love the podcast because it’s a really safe space to have these kinds of conversations, and I can go into so much detail.
