The sixteen-year marriage between Canadian television personality Ben Mulroney and stylist Jessica Mulroney has concluded, with sources confirming the couple has been separated for some time.
Insiders close to the situation described the separation as a quiet process that occurred previously, with one noting the stylist appeared “sad, but also relieved to have some clarity” about the situation.
The couple, who share two children together, had experienced considerable strain in recent years. This period of difficulty followed a public controversy in 2020 involving the fashion stylist, which significantly impacted both her professional relationships and social standing.
The Mulroneys had previously maintained connections with notable figures, including having been acquainted with a prominent actress during her early relationship with her now-husband. The stylist had provided fashion direction for the couple’s engagement photographs, and their three children participated in the wedding ceremony.
The relationship deterioration began when a social media influencer publicly accused the stylist of inappropriate conduct after she took exception to a social justice advocacy post. The situation escalated with alleged written communications that the recipient interpreted as career-threatening.
Following the incident, the stylist issued a public statement acknowledging her need for continued education on racial matters and referencing personal exposure to racial issues through a close association. She expressed commitment to using her position to support underrepresented voices.
The separation marks the end of a union that had connected Canadian political legacy with fashion industry influence, representing a significant shift in the couple’s personal and professional landscape.
