Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has not completely closed the door on finding love again after her recent split from Michael Jones. While she's content with her single status at the moment, the 59-year-old is open to the idea of meeting someone new if it happens naturally.
Coleen and Michael, who connected on the dating app Tinder, ended their three-year relationship last year but have managed to stay friends. In previous discussions about their split, Coleen attributed it to her hectic schedule and changes in living arrangements.
In a new interview, she revealed that moving in full-time with Michael caused some anxiety about their relationship. When asked if it was strange to live alone again, she admitted: "If I'm honest, it was weird not living by myself."
She added to Woman Magazine: "I think I found it more weird living full-time with someone. Maybe that's what made me think, 'Oh, I don't know'."
Coleen went on to express her desire to meet someone new, but not on a full-time basis, as she is currently enjoying independence and "being selfish".
Besides her work, she keeps herself busy caring for 30 animals on her farm near Dilhorne, Staffordshire. The Loose Women star maintains amicable relationships with Michael as well as her other exes Shane Ritchie and Ray Fensome.
Coleen was previously married to Shane Richie, from 1990 until their separation in 1999, and together they share two sons; Shane Nolan, 36, and Jake Roche, 32. With her second husband Ray, she has 24-year-old daughter Ciara.
Should another romance develop into a marriage in the future, the mother-of-three has a new rule in place following previous divorce chaos. While still with Michael, she discussed the idea of signing a prenup if they did tie the knot.
Speaking with her co-star Kaye Adams on her How To Be 60 podcast, Coleen confessed: "If it meant a lot to him, maybe I would, but I'd b****y make him sign a great big piece of paper before I did, because I'm not going through that again.
"I've looked into it. 100 per cent. It's sorted from there and it's a reference point; no-one thinks they're going to split up. I've always been against prenups, because I find them really unromantic and very much like you're going into it going: 'Well, it probably won't work, so sign this’.
“Hopefully it will work and we'll never have to look at that piece of paper again, but what I went through on my last divorce I don't ever want to go through again," she added.
