Coleen Nolan splits with supermarket worker boyfriend but they are staying ‘great friends’

Coleen Nolan has split with her boyfriend, but is staying “great friends” with the supermarket worker.

The ‘Loose Women’ presenter, 57, and 57-year-old Michael met on Tinder in 2021, with Coleen publicly introducing him during a joint appearance on her show in January this year.

A source told The Sun she broke off the relationship in April after it “fizzled out”.

Confirming the break-up, a spokesperson for Coleen said: “Coleen and Michael are no longer together but remain great friends and are on good terms.”

The insider told The Sun: “Coleen and Michael were together for just over a year and while they were happy at first, the spark fizzled out in the end. They quietly broke up in April but have stayed close.

“She is looking forward to the future and possibly meeting someone new but there is no rush.

“Coleen enjoys the single life and has said she’ll soon be back online dating trying to find her dream match.”

Coleen said about their romance on ‘Loose Women’ earlier this year: “I had been on a few dates before I met her from the apps, and then she popped up and I recognised her. I didn't think we would even match let alone that I would hear from her. I didn't think she would respond.”

Michael said: “We chatted for a few weeks, texts and phone calls. I assumed she would be really confident. We were generally chatting and then I picked where we met. I got there first.

“I was about to give up on dating then we met. We chatted for six hours on the first date. There was no awkward silences at all. It's only been seven months. But it's going lovely.”

Former ‘Nolans’ singer Coleen was said to have been unable to stop chatting on their first date, with Michael calling it a “great” evening.
