Donna Air has reportedly split from her boyfriend of 18 months, Ben Carrington.

The 40-year-old presenter and actress began seeing Harrow educated and property developer Ben, 35, shortly after she split from on-and-off boyfriend James Middleton in 2017.

“It’s sad, but Donna is excited about the next chapter in her life,” the source said.

“She has a great support system and at her birthday party in London last week she was surrounded by friends and family.”

Ent Daily has contacted reps for Donna for comment.

Donna was predicted to become part of the Middleton family, having had the lengthy courtship with James, and even scored an invite to Pippa Middleton’s high profile wedding.

On her split from James, she told the Mail on Sunday in early 2018: “James and I are no longer an item. We parted ways in December but remain the very best of friends and always will be.”
