Jackie O opens up on loneliness post-divorce
Jackie 'O' Henderson has opened up on being gripped with feelings of loneliness in the years following her divorce.
Speaking with fans at Luke McLeod's book launch for Everyday Enlightenment on Thursday night, the 49-year-old admitted she is "desperate" to find love and companionship.
After being single for over five years, Jackie said it feels like "something's missing" in her life.
"I just really want to find someone. I can't find him and I'm sort of a bit lost at the moment," she said.
When Luke asked why she was so desperate to get into a relationship, Jackie said she couldn't quite put her finger on it, but it felt like "a piece" of her was "missing".
"I have a lot of love to give or I want that affection, that company. It just feels like there's something missing in my life," she added.
Jackie went on to tell her fans that Luke had previously given a piece of advice that "changed my life".
He said she was giving off too much "desperate energy", and if she really wanted to attract love in her life, then she needed to be grateful for what she already has.
"I said to him, 'How am I meant to change what I want and need? I feel like I need that in my life and I really want that. I can't just switch that off,'" she admitted.
Jackie has been adopting Luke's technique, and makes time every day to express gratitude for what she already has, and not for what she's missing.
'Now I'm at a place where I've almost gone the other way. I'm so happy being single and not looking for someone because I'm genuinely happy with my life,' she said.
Jackie O separated from her husband Lee Henderson in 2018 after they married in 2003, with the pair now co-parenting their daughter Kitty.
