Davina McCall has revealed her engagement to renowned hairstylist Michael Douglas. The couple has been in a relationship since 2018, having known each other for several years prior. Last year, Michael supported Davina, 57, during her recovery from a significant surgery following the discovery of a benign brain tumor during a routine health examination related to her menopause advocacy work.
This will be the third marriage for the celebrity hairstylist, who has been candid about the ups and downs of her romantic life over the years. Davina reflected on her dating history, expressing emotional turmoil after the end of her 17-year marriage to Matthew Robertson, with whom she shares children named Holly, Tilly, and Chester.
In a 2020 interview with You Magazine, Davina emphasized the challenging nature of divorce and the importance of navigating it with care. She described the evolution of her relationship with Matthew, acknowledging that they grew as individuals after parting ways and found contentment in co-parenting.
Davina also shared her past struggles, including a heroin addiction during which she met iconic guitarist Eric Clapton. With Eric’s encouragement, she sought help and embarked on a journey towards sobriety and a healthier lifestyle. She has since become an advocate for women’s health and fitness.
Recently, Davina discussed the significance of intimacy in a marriage, noting that a relationship can thrive without a sexual component. She emphasized the importance of mutual consent in determining the dynamics of physical closeness within a partnership.
Davina and Michael, 49, reportedly got engaged before attending the Burning Man festival in Nevada. Their engagement comes shortly after Michael hinted at plans for marriage in the near future. The couple first crossed paths when Michael worked on Davina’s hair during her time hosting Big Brother, and they went public with their relationship in 2019.
Fans can catch Davina on the upcoming show “Stranded on Honeymoon Island” airing on BBC One, where hopeful singles are challenged to find love on a remote island.
