Coleen Nolan "kept splitting up from Michael Jones because he was "so different" from her previous husbands.
Coleen Nolan speaks out about her new relationship
The 58-year-old TV star - who was initially married to 'EastEnders' actor Shane Richie from 1990 until 1999 and then to musician Ray Fensome from 2007 until 2018 - met supermarket logistics worker Michael, 57, on Tinder in 2022 and she is "so happy" with him but admitted that it was her fault that they split up a couple of times.
She told Yours magazine: "I'm so happy. I'm a real romantic. It was my fault we kept splitting up. I think it was because he was very different to my ex-husbands and people I've been out with. He was very attentive and romantic and, at first, I just didn't know what to do with it. It kind of freaked me out a bit. I thought, I don't know why he loves me as much - it was just me. And then every time I kind of finished it, I'd miss him so much, and then sort my head out and accept that I deserve to be, and can. "
The long-serving 'Loose Women' panellist - who has sons Shane Jr, 34, and Jake, 31, with her first husband and daughter Ciara, 22, with her second - went on to add that she would recommend online dating to anyone but remains unsure whether she will walk down the aisle for a third time.
She said: "It's like when you used to meet someone in a club in the old days. You'd go out on a date and, if it didn't work, you'd go back to the club again and see if you could meet someone else, or whatever. I had a lot of online dates, and you know kind of instantly whether they're right, and then luckily, I met the one that was right.
"Third time lucky... Oh, who knows? I never thought I'd meet anyone again... I'm not totally against [marriage], but it's not happening yet."
