What heartbreak? Melanie Sykes is all smiles as she steps out after marriage split
SHE MIGHT have split with her toyboy husband just last month, but Melanie Sykes was all smiles as she stepped out in London earlier today.
The model and mother-of-two looked happy and carefree as she meandered around the streets with a pal and her eight-year-old son Valentino, looking stylish in a leather jacket and black skinny jeans.
Chatting away, the 43-year-old showed no signs of heartbreak, despite splitting with Jack Cockings, 28, in December after just eight months of marriage following a whirlwind romance on Twitter.
She showed off her enviable figure in a pair of skintight jeans as she enjoyed a day out with her son, which she teamed with a stylish leather jacket and a leopard print scarf.
Adding a splash of colour to her outfit though, the Ultimo model accessorised her look with a pair of bright pink fingerless gloves.
Mel finished off her look with a pair of Rayban sunglasses as she held onto her son's hand during their leisurely walk.
The star was arrested for common assault at the end of november following an attack on roofer Jack, who she met on Twitter in May 2012 before marrying him eight months later.
Jack was not treated in hospital for the incident but Melanie was cautioned by officers after admitting to the offence.
Earlier this month Jack took to Twitter and posted an array of cryptic messages which confirmed the end of their romance.
The posts, which have since been deleted, read: "I would rather be alone with dignity than in a relationship that requires me to sacrifice my self respect.
"Sometimes you end up losing yourself trying to hold onto someone who doesn’t care about losing you."
