Whilst all the other Saturday girls seem loved up with long-term partners and/or babies, Mollie King’s lovelife is often in the news. The singer has had previous relationships with Lawson’s Andy Brown and model David Gandy.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan in the March issue, King says that break-ups are always difficult, but she eventually becomes friendly with them again.
"It's really hard when it's fresh; you can't go from being in love to friends overnight,” she tells the magazine. “I've always had to take time apart after a break-up. When they're with somebody new and you're single that really hurts, but it's easier when you move on.”
Of course, it doesn’t help when you’re under media scrutiny, as King found out. "Recently there were some pictures of me and David sat next to one another at the same tennis match and the pictures could not have been more unfortunate,” she says. “It looked like we hated each other, but we do actually get on. Just as I do with Andy. I've stayed friends with all my ex-boyfriends, which is nice because we often bump into each other at events."
Mollie is now seeing American producer Jordan Omley, but admits that it’s hard being in a long-distance relationship. "It sounds glamorous and showbiz, but it can be tough at times because you want to come home to one another and snuggle on the couch," she said.
Inside the issue, King models her new clothing line for Oasis, ‘Loved by Mollie’. It’s not just another celebrity promoting a random clothesline, though. She’s always been into fashion. "I studied fashion at A level and it's something I love learning about,” she says. “I've always had a strong opinion on clothes. I know straight away if I like something or not and how it could work."
When it comes to fashion icons, she confesses to having a bit of a girl crush on Victoria Beckham. She tells Cosmo: "[Victoria Beckham is] an absolute legend. I saw her at a fashion event and I really wanted to 'fangirl' her and get a picture but I was too scared. If I'm on the front row of a show and someone like her walks in, I get so excited and can't stop staring. I think, 'Oh my god, I need to remember this feeling because I won't be doing this forever.' One day when I'm a granny, I want to remember how cool it is!"
