Coleen Nolan on her relationship and money fears
Coleen Nolan’s relationship with Michael Jones has been up and down to say the least. After first getting together in 2021 thanks to dating app Tinder, the couple broke up a year later with Coleen admitting, ‘I was pushing him away, thinking I couldn’t deal with it.’ The pair rekindled their romance last year and Coleen told Woman’s Own last month that Michael would be moving in with her.
Then, during a recent episode of Loose Women, the ladies paid tribute to the Oscars and hosted their own awards, celebrating the ‘supporting artists’ and ‘leading men’ in their lives.

MONEY WORRIES
Coleen’s been open about the financial gap between her and Michael, admitting, ‘It’d be nice if he had a bit more money, but you can’t have everything.’ Perhaps feeling the pressure of being the breadwinner in the relationship is one she could do without.
Her recent solo tour, though well received, was not a total sell-out - with Coleen even promoting ticket sales on the day of the shows. A source tells Woman’s Own, ‘The tour only sold out on two dates on a 16-date tour. When she and her sisters did their 2009 reunion tour, they did massive arenas and took £2 million at the box office.’
While Coleen is arguably a long way from being broke, money fears appear not to be far from her mind. The Nolan sisters were undeniab
