Millie Mackintosh has vowed to ‘always trust her intuition’ and to ‘leave behind relationships that cost her peace’ in reflective New Year’s Eve post just weeks after she ditched her manager.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 36, took to Instagram on Tuesday evening as she shared a selection of the things she is ‘leaving behind’ in 2025.
While most people might list too much chocolate or scrolling before bed in their list, Millie’s was more reflective as she preached that her 2026 is ‘about calm, clarity and self-trust.’
Sharing a snap of herself enjoying a winter walk, she penned that she will be leaving behind ‘relationships that cost me’.
The statement appeared to be rather telling after the Daily Mail revealed Millie had dumped her long-term manager, who is also a close friend and godmother of her two children, in November.
Millie’s decision to end her professional and personal relationship with Donna Rooney stunned mutual friends, who had assumed their bond was ‘water-tight’.

Insiders suggest the star was desperate to sever ties with her reality TV roots, fearing that the association was holding back her career and preventing her from landing more ‘credible’ opportunities.

Millie looked sensational as she showcased her incredible figure while lying on the front of a boat in a bikini as she added: ‘Guilt for choosing myself’.
Holding hands with her daughter in a throwback holiday photo she also penned: ‘Letting fear hold me back’.
Also on her list was ‘over-explaining my boundaries,’ ‘carrying what was never mine to hold,’ and ‘Staying loyal to versions of me I’ve outgrown’.
Millie’s split from Donna has left her manager ‘deeply upset’.
According to sources, Millie has even unfollowed Donna on Instagram, and friends claim ‘there is no way back’ after what the agent allegedly called a ‘betrayal’.
Millie has now signed with YMU, the agency behind stars including Ant and Dec, Simon Cowell, Davina McCall, and Claudia Winkleman, who officially welcomed her as a client this month.

She hopes the move will open doors to television opportunities, boost her brand presence, and most importantly finally shed the ‘reality star’ label.
A source told the Daily Mail: ‘Millie has become increasingly disenchanted with still being known as an ‘ex Made In Chelsea star.’ Whatever venture she dips her toes into, the label seems to follow her everywhere – and she’s had enough.
‘The show made her name, but she hasn’t appeared on it for over a decade and to her, it feels like another life.
‘So, in order to finally make a clean break from it, she made the difficult decision to part with Donna.
‘They have been friends for over a decade, Donna is the godmother to Millie’s children, they have holidayed together for years, and share countless memories.
‘Donna treats Millie’s children as if they were her own and would spoil them whenever she could.
‘But business is business for Millie and she felt the move would benefit her career. It’s needless to say but Donna was extremely upset by the total lack of loyalty. She thought they were a team.’
The Daily Mail contacted Millie’s representative and Donna for comment.
