Trinny Woodall reportedly split from her businessman boyfriend of ten years after finding their huge age gap difficult.

The make-up and skincare expert, 59, earlier this week hinted she had split from Charles Saatchi, 79, the ex-husband of cooking queen Nigella Lawson, speaking of a huge change in her life and a house move.

Friends of the TV star, known for her early noughties fashion shows with Susannah Constantine, say she and Charles wanted different things, and she grew tired of their life together.

Mega rich businessman Saatchi - whose 10-year marriage to Nigella Lawson ended in 2013 - got together with Trinny after they called it quits.

Now, time has reportedly been called on Charles and Trinny too.

Trinny felt it was "time to move on" after a happy decade with the art collector and advertising guru, who is reported to be worth around £100 million, a source said.

A source told the Sun : “Their age difference started to become an issue. Charles wants to slow down.

“He prefers quiet evenings at home while Trinny feels the opposite. She feels she’s in her prime and wants to be out and about.”

This week, Trinny sparked speculation that she and long-term lover have called it a day with a series on social media posts.

The former What Not To Wear host posted: "It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new life." She went on to say: "I have been moving but now I have moved.

Currently enjoying a skiing holiday in France, she posted from her chalet seemingly confirming the split.

"I have looked out at this view for the last 30 years of my life, she said in an emotional post.

"It’s the one consistent view I have ever had. Recently with the big life change and moving house it was important for me to come back here with (daughter) Lyla and family just to have that moment,

"Listen to the birds, be at one with nature. Very healing."

Trinny's husband Johnny Elichaoff died by suicide in 2014 after battling an addiction to painkillers for 20 years. The pair had divorced in 2009.

The fashion expert and Charles started dating ten years ago after his first wife Kay Hartenstein reportedly created a short list of women who he might want to date.

In an interview in 2021, Trinny said that she had ‘grown up a lot’ in the relationship.

"I don’t let myself get away with stuff, so if I have a kind of outrage he’ll go: 'Really, are you kidding?' And then I’ll go upstairs and think: 'OK, let me grow up now.'

"I think that’s what happens when you are with somebody who has been through a lot in their life, and there is nobody who is more supportive of my business and jobs in terms of being my champion."

The Mirror has contacted Trinny's representatives for comment.
