Coleen Nolan says her kids 'were not sure' about her on-off Tinder boyfriend
Coleen Nolan has admitted that her children weren't "sure" about her new boyfriend, admitting her own uncertainty about the relationship in its first year left the three young adults "confused".
The Loose Women host is currently dating Michael Jones, after swiping 'right' on his Tinder profile during the Covid-19 lockdown. Their romance hasn't exactly been smooth sailing, however, with Coleen splitting from the supermarket logistics worker in April 2022 after one year together.
They have since reunited and even have plans to move in together when Coleen's youngest child, Ciara, goes away travelling with her boyfriend in January. The reality TV star has now confessed that her lack of commitment in the first year of their relationship didn't exactly help the 57-year-old integrate into her family.

After they'd split, Coleen found herself desperately missing Michael and reconsidering their breakup.
The distance gave her the band singer the space to "sort my head out and accept that I deserve to be and can be loved like that," after previously being cheated on by her first husband, Shane Richie. "But now I’m very different and Michael feels more secure, the kids get on great with him. They’re really supportive now, so it’s nice," Coleen continued. "They were super protective of me so they didn’t want me to go back on the dating scene and jump, because they’ve seen me go through things before."

"If someone had told me three years ago that I’d find love again I would have laughed hysterically! But I feel so lucky now that it’s happened," she said. "It feels wonderful to be forging ahead with someone I love by my side. And if it doesn’t work out at some point then I know I can be alone too and still survive."
Coleen has previously hailed Michael for boosting her self-confidence, revealing that she doesn't feel the need to dress up for him. "I’ll be sitting there in my pyjamas with no makeup on, swollen eyes and a cold sore and he still looks at me like I’m the best thing since sliced bread," she said. "Normally I’d be thinking, 'I need to put make-up on or he won’t fancy me or love me!' And Michael’s come along and he just looks at me like I’ve never been looked at before."
Coleen was first married to EastEnders' Shane Richie, with whom she shares two sons, Jake and Shane Roche Jr. She also has a daughter, Ciara, with her second husband, Ray Fensome. The pair split in 2017, after 11 years of marriage.
