Ant revealed in October that he had taken a five-week ‘Breakup Recovery’ course claiming to help people design life and love [they’ve] longed for. ‘
He recently told People that he feels like himself again after being in ‘a really dark place’ in the midst of the split: ‘Every day is an improvement. Going back a few months I mean it was clearly a big hit. ‘
The Wheeler Dealers host added: ‘It really hit me hard. The impact on me, my sleep, my diet, my stress, it showed.
“But I reached this turning point where I would either live in the darkness or hit myself in the face a few times and say, ‘Wake up; you are incredibly blessed. Concentrate on all the great things.”

Christina wrote on Instagram last week: ‘Grounded and close this year with gratitude for new opportunities and adventures. Go offline for the remainder of 2020 to stay present in the present.
‘Something I did with @drkaisacoppola for Solstice with the kids was to list what we leave behind in 2020 and what we want to bring forward in 2021. You can say out loud or write what you want to leave behind in one color and what you want a different color in 2021. The kids spent a lot of time on it and I highly recommend it. Happy Holidays and I wish everyone a happy, healthy and bountiful New Year. ‘
In addition to Taylor, Christina shares son Brayden, five, with Tarek, whom she was married to from 2009 to 2018.
