EXCLUSIVE: Loose Women's Coleen Nolan chats to OK! about her romance with Michael Jones, which she rekindled earlier this year, and admits that she's happier than ever
After years of romantic woes, Coleen Nolan has finally found her “happy ever after”, opening up to OK! about how therapy has helped her rekindle her romance with ex-partner Michael Jones.
Coleen and Michael, who met on Tinder in 2021, announced their relationship in January 2022, but split three months later. Having got back together earlier this year, the star admits she had to “work on herself” before letting love in. Coleen’s children, who she describes as “incredibly protective”, were the ones who pushed her to self-love. She shares Shane Jr, 34, and Jake, 31, with actor Shane Richie, and daughter Ciara, 22, with musician Ray Fensome.
Coleen realised that she missed Michael – who works in supermarket logistics – during their months apart. She adds, “I was scared of letting someone in and it failing again, but it just took time. Luckily, I met someone who was willing to give me that time, and even when I pushed him away, he never gave up.”
With a flourishing relationship and a tight-knit bond with her children, Coleen is also close to her sisters, Anne, 72, Denise, 71, Maureen, 69, and Linda, 64. The family have especially been gathering together in recent years, as Linda is living with secondary breast cancer, which has now spread to her liver and brain.
“We are a family that deals with things through humour, it’s what gets us through. I’ll phone Linda up and ask how she is and she’ll reply, ‘I’ve got brain cancer, how are you?’ and it’s so shockingly funny that we both laugh.Her sister’s battle has encouraged Coleen to live her life to the full, which is why she is heading out on her first solo tour, Naked, next year. Beginning in her home town of Blackpool, the tour will see Coleen take to the stage with stories, singing and dancing.
