Lisa Armstrong has “made a vow” to focus on herself following her split from electrician boyfriend and her divorce from Ant McPartlin.
The 48-year-old makeup artist’s ex-husband Ant and his new partner Anne-Marie celebrated the arrival of their baby Wilder in May. Meanwhile, Lisa split up with her partner James Green in August 2023. And she is reportedly not looking for another relationship at this time.
A source told Heat Magazine that Lisa is intent on self-improvement before considering a new romance. They claimed: “She’s told her mates that she wants to get herself sorted, and try and put a spring back in her step. Initially, she thought that, after her traumatic divorce, finding a new romance would heal everything. But after splitting with James, she found herself back at square one.”
After her breakup with James, Lisa felt she was back to square one, despite initially believing a new love might be the cure-all post-divorce. An inspirational quote on her Instagram hinted at her mindset: “You spent 2024 in survival mode. 2025 is your time to rise, rebuild, and thrive.”
She’s diving into self-help books and podcasts to “move on” and evolve personally, making resolutions to prioritize her own well-being.
While Ant enjoyed his first festive season as a father with Anne-Marie and Wilder, Lisa, the head of makeup on Strictly Come Dancing, is embracing single life with support from friends.
“She wants to find her zen and bounce back feeling stronger than ever,” the insider said. Another source close to Lisa told OK! Magazine: “Lisa knows Ant is ready to move on with the next chapter of his life – she doesn’t want to be angry any more.”
It comes as Ant is set to return to our TV screens tonight, for his quiz show Limitless with Declan Donnelly on Channel 4.
Lisa’s representatives have been approached for comment.
