Privacy NoticeThere’s no doubt about it, former Love Island star Malin Andersson has been through a lot over the years. Losing her mum Consy-Gloria in 2017 to breast cancer, and then her first-born daughter, who was named after her late mother, in 2019 just four weeks after she was born premature were two life events that rocked Malin to the core – and led her down a path of self-destruction. She then spent months binge drinking and taking drugs, but Malin soon decided something had to give and the healing began. Now, the 31 year old is happy and focusing on her health and wellbeing – but admits she does regret those ‘dark’ days. Malin revealed she’s looking at her “inner child wounds” in order to heal. She exclusively told OK!: “When your parents die, you don’t want to think anything bad of them but I realised that my upbringing wasn’t that great.

“Not that it was Mum’s fault but there were a lot of abandonment issues projected onto me, especially with my dad not being around. I really wanted to understand what I was running away from and why was I drinking so much on the weekend, and sniffing cocaine.” As she looks towards the future, however, the TV star – who is who is mum to daughter Xaya, now two and a half – has found love with a Swedish hunk. She said: “It’s early days, but I’ve never met anyone like him. I’ve never been connected with someone like I have with him my whole life and it makes me emotional thinking about it.

When you’ve gone through all of these abusive relationships, you get to do the healing and then you get comfortable being on your own. I got to a point where I was like, “Maybe I’m just going to always be on my own, just me and Xaya and I’m cool with that.” But now my heart is full.” Alongside supporting her healing, Malin said he’s completely different from anyone she’s dated before. She continued: “The feeling I’m getting inside is completely different. My heart has been so closed because of the grief and pain that I’ve had. I remember the men who I’ve been with, that little girl inside of me was like, “Love me, love me.” “I would just be co-dependent and toxic because my heart has been so closed but, the work that I’ve done where I’m going into these relationships healed has helped me be safe in myself. So, I hope the women who are reading this, who have been in abusive relationships, can come out the other side too.”
