Coleen Nolan Reveals Post-Breakup Romance and Preference for Independence

Coleen Nolan, a long-time Loose Women panellist, has shared insights into her personal life following her split from boyfriend Michael Jones after three years together, citing her busy career and farm responsibilities as significant challenges. Since the breakup, the 60-year-old has preferred living independently and spoke candidly about a recent brief "fling," describing it as lovely but not the right connection. She humorously expressed skepticism about finding love again soon, joking that she might have better luck dating one of her goats. Coleen has been married twice before, first to EastEnders star Shane Richie, with whom she has two sons, and later to actor Ray Fensome, with whom she shares a daughter; both marriages ended in divorce. Additionally, Coleen revealed a past painful experience where a sister had an affair with her boyfriend, an incident she chose not to let damage their relationship. Throughout her career, Coleen has remained a familiar face on UK television, notably on Loose Women since 2000.
