But despite her smiles and all-round glow (her new vegan lifestyle is working wonders), Coleen’s news isn’t all positive. In her first interview since splitting from her mystery boyfriend of six months, Col admits to being disappointed in the way he unexpectedly ended things, and tells us how protective her kids, Ciara, 20, Jake, 28, and Shane, 32, were when she told them.
“You don’t want to know the bad language that came out of my kids’ mouths when I told them he’d finished it,” she says. “I was shocked and hurt – I’d started to get feelings for him.”
In the midst of the pandemic, Coleen has also had to endure the pain of watching her beloved sisters, Anne and Linda, battle with cancer, following the death of their sibling Bernie eight years ago. In a bittersweet turn of events, Anne has been given the all-clear, while Linda’s cancer is incurable. And now Coleen tells us she’s made the difficult decision to put off getting a double mastectomy, despite her family’s history with the disease.
“I spoke to so many people about what to do,” she explains. “It was Linda who told me not to go ahead with it.”
Here, Coleen, 56, opens up about being back on dating apps, why she doesn’t want to get married, and her fear of cancer…
So Coleen, what happened with your boyfriend? Is it really all over?
