Newly single Denise Van Outen glams up for first night out since splitting from boyfriend Jimmy Barba
DENISE Van Outen has stepped out in glamour for her first night out post-breakup with boyfriend Jimmy Barba.
The newly single reality TV star let her hair down as she attended a MacMillan charity gala in London on Thursday night.
Denise, 49, looked amazing with her blonde hair framing her face and dewy make-up, including a sweep of pink lipstick.
She wowed in a jewel-embedded garment that flowed into a sheer floor-length tulle skirt.
Completing the look, she paired the stunning gown with strappy nude heels and a simple cream bangle on her wrist.
It comes after the star split from her boyfriend Jimmy, 55, after an 18-month romance.
Denise told The Sun: “We have decided to part ways but we remain great friends and our families and children are still in touch.”
The couple first got together after All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis introduced them.
TV star Denise previously said she did not feel the need to vet Jimmy as she knew those closest to her would never set her up with someone she could not trust after her rocky love life.
Speaking about their romance in September of this year, Denise said: “I am in a really good relationship now. Jimmy is lovely.”
The Big Brother star is not unfamiliar with heartache.
She split from previous boyfriend Eddie Boxall in 2022 following seven years of dating after she discovered that he had been exchanging explicit messages with other women.
Speaking about the betrayal, Denise later told us: “Obviously those things weren’t nice to go through, but where I’m at now with Jimmy [Barba], who has such a good energy, everything was worth it.
“Honestly, I feel like I’m in a nice, happy, good place. I wouldn’t change anything.”
