Donna Air admits she was ‘never driven by marriage’ before split with ex James Middleton


Donna Air, 40, is set to make a return to TV on The Chase tonight after competing in the 10th series of Dancing On Ice back in 2018. The actress dated James Middleton, 32, for five years before they decided to split following her stint on the ITV reality show.

While discussing their break-up, the former Baker Grove star told the Mail On Sunday: “James and I are no longer an item. 

“We parted ways in December but remain the very best of friends and always will be.”

James, who is Kate Middleton’s younger brother, is currently engaged to Alizée Thevenet, while Donna is reportedly single after parting ways with her ex-boyfriend Ben Carrington in August.

Donna, who shares her 16-year-old daughter Freya with her ex Damian Aspinall, previously opened up about her thoughts on marriage in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph while she was still dating James.

Speaking about her relationship with Damian, she divulged: “I felt we were married.

“What I had with him was absolute security and the full knowledge that, for both of us, Freya is our top priority.”

When she was quizzed about whether she would like to tie the knot in the future, she said: “Maybe. I’ve never really been driven by marriage – but I am open to it.

“My priority is being the mother of a teenage girl. 

 

Donna went on to address her daughter’s hopes and dreams, adding: “Freya would like to model. 

“She also wants to be a conservationist, like her dad. 

“I don’t object to either. It’s just a question of trying to put the brakes on.”

Donna recently shared a quote about love on Instagram while celebrating the New Year.
