Daniel Caltagirone

Mel was married to actor Daniel from 2001 to 2009, and together they share children Roman and Valentino.

It was her longest relationship since entering a life in the public eye, and despite their split they remain friends and dedicated co-parents.

Jack Cockings

Mel married for a second time in 2013, after 25-year-old Jack Cockings started flirting with her on Twitter.

And it wasn’t long before things really started to heat up between the pair. By August 2012, they were engaged and announced the news where they’d met – Twitter.

They married at Sherborne Castle in Dorset in May 2013 but they split just seven months later when Mel admitted she had married the “wrong person”.

After the breakdown of her second marriage, Mel travelled to India on a soul-searching holiday during which she decided to go celibate, believing throwing herself into sexual relationships with boyfriends was perhaps where she was going wrong.
