Ulrika Jonsson says she is not unlucky in love – quite the opposite.
She’s just been fortunate to have found “so many Mr Rights”.
The 51-year-old TV star was responding to comments over news she and third husband Brian Monet are divorcing.
The mum-of-four said: “When people have said I am ‘unlucky in love’, I just think: Why is it unlucky in love?
“Sometimes relationships run their course. I have had so many Mr Rights!
“Are you supposed to meet someone at 14 and just be with them for ever? That is unlikely to happen.”

Following the split last summer, she said she is not yet looking to date, adding: “The whole idea of looking for a partner is not even on the bottom of my agenda – it hasn’t even made my agenda.
“I’ve got four children I love and care for, I’ve got the garden and cooking, whatever else. I feel very busy, and full and complete.

“People have somehow come into my life and it’s just happened. So I am not, absolutely not, looking for a man.”
She said that the marriage breakdown coupled with the menopause had been tough, adding: “I genuinely thought we’d be together for ever.
“I feared change but I accept now that change is the only constant in life so I just have to go with it.”
Ulrika said being tagged “4x4” because her children have four different dads is sexist.
She said: “Men don’t get the same judgment as women in the same aspects. I get very positive feedback from women. That’s the one thing that warms my heart.
“I always used to think, ‘God, without being cocky, I bet my kids are more happy, settled and reassured than a lot of kids living in a so-called traditional family.’
“Our house is loving, busy and fantastic.”
She is appearing with younger daughter Martha, 14, on Channel 4’s sex education programme Let’s Talk About Sex.
Ulrika, who had an affair in 2002 with then-England footie manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, said she has instilled confidence in her children about relationships.
“I’d not have had conversations with my mum my kids can have. About dating, sexual things, I’m more than willing.”
