Chantelle Houghton has revealed exclusively why she is still single years after her highly publicized relationships, revealing that her decision was largely driven by her circumstances as a single mother.

The 41-year-old former Big Brother contestant has spoken to New! that she no longer feels the need to be in a relationship despite not being opposed to finding love because she has spent so much time alone.

“I don’t have a love life,” I say! Due to the circumstances I was in, she admitted, “I’ve been single for a long, long time.” “I wasn’t forced, but I did have a lot of my time by myself while looking after my young daughter.”

Dolly, 12, and her 12-year-old daughter Dolly are in a relationship for the love of their lives, Chantelle said. She continued, “I’ve always said that I prefer to be sitting on the sofa alone than with someone who is lonely.” Nothing worse than being in a relationship and feeling alone and unhappy.

The reality star refuses to impose her feelings of loneliness when she is content with being single. She isn’t entirely opposed to meeting new people. I’m open to meeting someone, I say. She acknowledged that she hasn’t met anyone who would like to advance things with, despite the fact that she is not closed off from it. I don’t date, and I don’t use any dating apps. It will happen naturally if it does.

From her fiery 10-month marriage to Ordinary Boys frontman Preston after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother to her turbulent relationship with Katie Price’s ex-husband Alex Reid, Chantelle’s romantic life has long been in the spotlight. She now values her independence and is focused on raising her daughter after years of intense media scrutiny.

“I’ve had enough time on my own that I’m alright,” he said. She said, “I don’t need to feel whole with someone.” I’m happy on my own because I’m not trying to find happiness with anyone else. They’re just going to make me smile more when I meet them.

She hasn’t been tempted, despite admitting to receiving a few romantic offers. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve received a few offers, but I’ve just politely declined. She laughed, noting that the majority of them are actually old.
