Rylan’s Big Comeback Rylan Clark is finally smiling again. The 36-year-old TV presenter has quietly been dating a new partner for the past few months, and admits he feels “happy” and “content” after years of personal struggles. Colleagues at the BBC have already met the mystery man and described him as “lovely,” while Rylan has hinted he’d love to start a family with him one day. From Divorce to Dating Struggles Rylan’s happiness today comes after a turbulent few years. In 2021, his seven-year marriage to former This Morning co-host Dan Neal collapsed after he admitted to infidelity. The split left him devastated, questioning his self-worth and struggling to cope with life in the public eye. After the breakup, Rylan tried to return to the dating world, but being in the spotlight made things more complicated. As he admitted with a touch of humor: “[cite=970]But what am I going to do, die alone with cats? I'm allergic to cats![/cite]” He joined the exclusive dating app Raya, attended a few dates, and was occasionally linked to other celebrities—but insisted he was single until recently. Battling Demons Behind the scenes, Rylan’s private pain became overwhelming. The star took a four-month break from work after his marriage ended, during which his health collapsed. He later revealed he had attempted to end his life twice, suffered from severe heart issues, and even lost his ability to speak properly for a time. Looking back, he says he hardly recognizes the person he was during that dark chapter. “I did not know who I was for that five months,” he confessed in an interview, reflecting on how deeply he had fallen into despair. Rebuilding and Moving Forward Despite the darkness, Rylan’s career never truly left him. Since rising to fame on The X Factor in 2012, he’s become one of British TV’s most familiar faces, with hosting gigs on This Morning, Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, and BBC projects including Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour. He credits Big Brother as the launchpad that shaped both his professional and personal life, calling it “the best apprenticeship” he could have asked for. Now, with a renewed sense of purpose and a partner who makes him genuinely happy, Rylan seems ready to start a new chapter — one built not on heartbreak, but on hope.
