Countryfile star Anita Rani has broken her silence on life after splitting from her husband of 14 years, Bhupi Rehal.
The 46-year-old British radio and television host is embracing her newfound single status with a positive outlook.
In a recent interview with Love Sunday magazine, Rani shared her excitement for the future: “Life is good. I’m in a good place. I’m focusing on myself and my own wants.”
The Bradford-born star is viewing this period as a fresh start, referring to it as “Chapter Two” of her life.
Rani’s newfound empowerment as a single woman in her 40s is evident in her recent comments.
“It’s liberating that people know that I’m single now,” she told The Sun. “Not everything works out. Things come to their natural conclusion. That is absolutely fine.”

The former Strictly star emphasised there is “no shame” in being single later in life and added: “I’m single. I’m child-free, I’m in my mid-40s and I have never felt better, sexier, more powerful or more excited about the future.”
Rani is embracing this new phase with enthusiasm, focusing on her personal growth and aspirations.
Rani’s personal growth extends to her career as well, as during this transitional period, she has been balancing a hectic workload, including the release of her first novel, Baby Does A Runne’, in July 2023.
The book explores a British Asian woman’s quest for identity, reflecting Rani’s own experiences and growth.

The television host is embracing a carpe diem attitude, stating: “I’m very aware that, with the things I want to do in life, I’d quite like to do them now and not wait.”
Rani’s optimistic philosophy shines through as she added: “I kind of live by the mantra of ‘life is too short’,” showing her attitude is driving her forward into her next chapter.
She continues to embrace the unknown with open arms and noted: “This is a new chapter in my life but I’m ready to open that book and see what’s in store for me because the future is exciting,” she enthused.
