Trinny Woodall hints she has split with partner Charles Saatchi by revealing she has ‘moved house’
EXCLUSIVE Trinny Woodall hints she’s split from partner Charles Saatchi after 10 years by revealing she’s ‘moved on’ during an emotional Instagram video — saying, ‘It’s a new dawn, it’s a new life ‘
Trinny Woodall has sparked speculation that she and longtime love Charles Saatchi have split.
Trinny, 59, has been dating Saatchi, 79, for 10 years since he split from wife Nigella Lawson, but the makeup and beauty mogul said on Instagram on Friday that she has “moved on.”
She posted, “It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new life.” She added, “I moved, but now I’ve moved.”
She is currently on a skiing holiday with her family in France, where they own a chalet.
An emotional-sounding Trinny said, “I’ve spent the last 30 years of my life looking at this view. It’s the only consistent image I’ve ever had. Recently, with the big change in my life and the move, it was important for me to come back here with (daughter) Lyla and family, just to have that moment, listen to the birds, be one with nature . Very healing.’

Trinny and Charles Saatchi (pictured together in 2015) have been in a relationship for a decade but may have broken up. Saatchi declined to comment
Saatchi, an advertising executive turned art collector, is said to be worth around £100 million. Trinny’s worth is unknown, but her beauty and skincare brand is said to be worth £180 million and rising. He declined to comment yesterday.
In a 2021 interview, Trinny said she’s “much more matured” in the relationship, saying, “I don’t let myself get away with things, so if I have any kind of resentment, he’ll say, ‘Really, make you a joke?” And then I go upstairs and think, “Okay, now let me grow up.”
“I think that’s what happens when you’re with someone who’s been through a lot in their life, and there’s no one who supports my business and jobs anymore to be my champion.”
The pair began dating in 2013 after Saatchi’s first wife, Kay Hartenstein, reportedly drew up a short list of women he might want to date.
He had been single since splitting from food writer Nigella Lawson shortly after photos were published showing Saatchi holding her by the throat while having lunch at Scott’s in Mayfair.
He explained at the time that it was a “playful tiff” and accepted a police warning.
Trinny shared the view from her French home, saying she had enjoyed it for decades and found it to be “very healing”
He later said he was just helping Nigella to “focus,” but she explained that she saw a cute baby go by in a stroller and said she was looking forward to becoming a grandmother, which led to an argument.
She told a court that he told her, “I’m the only person you have to worry about.” Nigella added that her former husband had “told everyone” that he was actually pulling cocaine out of her nose.
Within three months of the romance beginning, Trinny had partially moved into Saatchi’s house in Chelsea.
In 2014, Trinny’s former husband Johnny Elichaoff committed suicide. He had been battling an addiction to painkillers for 20 years. They have a daughter together Lyla, 19.
In an interview, Trinny said, “I’m worried about being a single mom, but I get some good advice from Charles. He has a wonderful daughter Phoebe who is incredibly kind and smart. He has a wonderful child because he raised her well.’
She offered a rare insight into their relationship when she told a podcast in 2021, “Any friend who’s known me for years knows I’m the most self-sufficient person they’ve ever met. I know how hard I work.
“I know I pay for everything in my life except the roof over my head, because I live with Charles. Everything I pay for and every element of what I put against business expenses, I’m careful about that.”
In 2020, Saatchi accidentally walked naked into the shot while doing a live stream over an LED face mask.
