Trinny Woodall Reveals Mile-High Mischief, Love Search, and Rift with Susannah
Trinny Woodall, renowned beauty entrepreneur and founder of the £200 million brand Trinny London, recently shared insights into her personal life and relationships. At 61, she remains open to dating after her long-term relationship with Charles Saatchi ended in 2023. However, Woodall maintains a strong stance against the notion of joining the “Mile High Club,” citing discomfort in mid-flight encounters.
Trinny’s Journey Post-Dating
Since splitting with Saatchi, Trinny has been single and focused on her thriving beauty business. Despite her busy schedule, she expresses a desire to meet someone special. She prefers organic connections over online dating platforms. Trinny states, “I’d shout from the rooftops if I had a relationship. I’m open to it, but I’m not on the apps.”
Friendship and Challenges
One of the significant themes in Woodall’s life is her friendship with Susannah Constantine, her co-host from “What Not To Wear.” Trinny reflects on a period that nearly caused a rift between them. She initially struggled with Susannah’s journey into motherhood, feeling distant from the concept of parenting. However, watching Susannah balance family and career helped Trinny confront her own feelings about having children.
- Trinny and Susannah became best friends through their joint experience on television.
- Their show, “What Not To Wear,” drew over 7 million viewers at its peak.
Motherhood and IVF Journey
Trinny shares her complicated path to motherhood, having undergone 16 rounds of IVF before welcoming her daughter, Lyla, in 2001. Tragically, her ex-husband, Johnny Elichaoff, passed away in 2014. After years of struggling with fertility, Trinny found joy in her daughter, despite the challenges they faced, including Lyla’s birth condition, talipes (clubfoot).
Bonding and Reflections
Reflecting on her motherhood journey, Trinny notes how her priorities have shifted as her daughter now studies in Madrid. With newfound freedom as an empty nester, Trinny is rekindling friendships and exploring new experiences. She emphasizes that her past struggles have shaped her perspective on life and relationships.
In a world filled with fast-paced demands, Trinny Woodall embodies resilience. Her willingness to share her story of love, loss, and friendship continues to inspire many.
