The last time Ulrika’s children were pictured all together was in October 2021 over a Sunday lunch. 

Ulrika’s most recent ex-husband Brian adopted her daughter Bo in 2014, after their marriage in 2008. 

In 2022, Bo told how she decided not to meet her biological father Markus after he reached out to her.

Ulrika had penned an article for the Sun about the anxiety she felt over a potential meeting between Bo and Markus, when Bo was nannying in Corfu – which is where her biological dad was living.

Ulrika shared her heartache over her partner walking out shortly after their baby daughter Bo’s life-saving heart operation during the emotional essay.

But Bo offered her own side of the story, detailing how she has never felt a longing to meet her father, after being adopted by Ulrika’s ex husband Brian who she felt a connection with and calls ‘daddy’.

She said that she was left in ‘floods of tears’ after her mother’s article, saying she’s ‘struggled to feel connected’ to the idea of a relationship with her biological father. 

She revealed she feels there is ‘no space for Markus’ in her life at the moment, but didn’t rule out a future meeting for them when she feels ready.

Ulrika told Bo about her dad aged eight, however after already introducing her to her partners John and Lance, who acted as father figures, Bo admitted she struggled.

She said: ‘I talk about having a ‘biological’ dad because it’s just a genetic thing to me. I haven’t been able to make a connection emotionally. I was a bit confused by Mum’s explanation because of my age and I remember going off to play straight after as I didn’t have anything to say.’ 

‘How can you ever be prepared for being told you have a ‘real’ dad somewhere in the world, somewhere in your past or present?’ 

Bo said she draws comparison from children being told they are adopted, but it isn’t something she ever spoke about with her friends.

The professional nanny puts this down to having a strong support network growing up, as she admitted to feeling very ‘settled’ in her home life. 

Bo – who was born with a congenital heart condition – graduated from her university course to become a nanny at prestigious Norland College in 2023.

Bo (R) has been in and out of hospital over the years as a result of her condition. She was born with double inlet left ventricle defect, a congenital defect that affects the valves and chambers of the heart

As a baby, Bo had to have life-saving surgery on her heart and Ulrika has previously spoken about her health condition, saying doctors told her they ‘hoped’ Bo would live to be a teenager.

In December 2021, Bo was reunited with her mother after spending time in A&E with medical issues amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The doting mother had revealed her heartache when Bo was hospitalised and she was unable to visit her amid the pandemic.

Ulrika previously lifted the lid on her decision to go booze-free and how she realised that her relationship with alcohol was a destructive one. 

The presenter revealed that she used to use alcohol to ‘remember the good times’ and would often ‘black out’ after binge drinking alone.

She told The Sun: ‘[Alcohol] stifled my anger. I was angry with the world for all sorts of reasons. I would drink to remember the good times and to forget the present bad times’. 

Ulrika explained that while she drank to ‘kill her feelings of anxiety’ she was in fact a ‘functioning binge drinker’ and never vomited or appeared dishevelled.

‘But the number of times I would black out and not recall the night before when I had been drinking alone, were increasing’.

‘[Alcohol] was the perfect escape from my woes. When I drank, I felt I became a better, nicer person, and more equipped to cope. The truth, of course, was quite the opposite. Drinking worsened my anxiety which meant I would ‘self-medicate’ with a drink. This would calm me down, temporarily, then it would return with a vengeance.

Ulrika recalled how her pal telephoned one morning to reveal they’d spoken the night before when the TV favourite was so drunk she wasn’t making sense.

The Swedish star said that she ‘sobbed like a child’ following the chat and was ‘full of despair’ as she realised she did in fact have a destructive relationship with alcohol.

Heavy episodic drinking refers to consuming 60g or more of alcohol – the equivalent of 7.5 units – on at least one occasion in the past 30 days.

This is the same as drinking just over three pints of medium-strength beer, or five small glasses of wine, or around seven single-shot gin and tonics in one sitting.

Ulrika’s lost loves: Through the ages

1990 – John Turnbull 

Ulrika’s first marriage was to cameraman John, however things ended in tears after five years when she cheated on him. She blamed her actions on her ages, as she previously said: ‘I was so young. I didn’t know myself. I did some not very nice things. I was unfaithful, which is more than not nice’.

                                                                         1996 – Hunter

Shortly after her divorce, Ulrika sought comfort in the arms of Gladiator’s star James Crossley, after meeting while she acted as host on the show. After their romance, she said: ‘Well, I guess I was infatuated with James. It was a physical thing. And what a nice man he turned out to be’ – as she referenced him selling stories about their romance to the papers.

1998 – Stan Collymore 

Ulrika dated former footballer Stan for a year however their relationship was marred with controversy when she was a victim of domestic abuse. 

 

 

2000 – Markus Kempen

German hotel boss Markus Kempen was her next love and the father of her daughter Bo, now 18. Just days after Bo was born in November 2000, the businessman told his girlfriend that he was leaving the UK to find work abroad – Ulrika hadn’t even taken their child home from the hospital by then.

2002 – Lance Gerrard-Wright  

Husband number two Lance was supposed to be the prize for the female contestants on Mr Right, a 2002 TV dating show she presented. They married in 2003. She had their daughter Martha in 2004 and they separated in 2005.

 

2002 – Sven-Göran Eriksson

Ulrika and the football manager stunned the sport and showbiz world when she confirmed widely-publcised reports of an affair between the duo while he was dating Nancy Dell’Olio. As a result of the affair she was given a column in The News Of The World in 2003 where she would frequently comment on his private life. She was dropped in 2007 after he left as England manager. 

2007 – Brian Monet 

Ulrika and Brian tied the knot in 2008 and share one son, Malcolm, 10. They began their relationship in 2006. In 2014, Brian also adopted her daughter Bo, now 18, from the presenter’s relationship with German hotel boss Markus
