I’m A Celebrity’s Kelly Brook Reveals the Real Reason She Split from Ex Jason Statham & Says She’s Now a ‘Selfish B***h’

Kelly Brook, the beloved star of I’m A Celebrity, has recently opened up about the true reasons behind her breakup with ex-fiancé Jason Statham. The former couple, who were together for seven years, parted ways amidst the whirlwind of Jason’s skyrocketing Hollywood career. In a heartfelt and candid interview, Kelly revealed how she felt neglected and unappreciated during their relationship, which ultimately led to her falling out of love. Today, Kelly embraces a new mindset, unapologetically prioritizing herself and even describing herself as a ‘selfish b***h.’ Let’s dive deeper into Kelly’s emotional journey from heartbreak to self-empowerment.

The Real Reason Kelly Brook Split from Jason Statham

Kelly Brook and Jason Statham’s relationship began in the late 1990s, blossoming into a serious romance that included an engagement. However, as Jason’s acting career took off, Kelly’s experience in the relationship began to shift dramatically. Speaking openly on the How To Fail podcast, Kelly explained that she felt increasingly neglected as Jason’s Hollywood success soared.

“In my first relationship, there were definitely elements of co-dependency,” Kelly admitted. She described how she put her own career on hold to support Jason’s ambitions, quitting her hosting job at MTV to move to America with him. While Jason’s career flourished, Kelly’s opportunities dwindled, and she found herself exhausted by the constant travel and emotional strain.

Kelly said, “I was kind of there as a support network for him and watched his career flourish whereas mine kind of floundered a bit.” This imbalance left her feeling undervalued and overlooked. “Because I did so much and didn’t look after myself, I just felt so neglected in that dynamic, to the point where I fell out of love with him in the end because he didn’t show up for me like the way I showed up for him.”

The breakup was difficult, but Kelly knew it was the right decision. She recalled Jason’s reaction, saying, “He just turned round to me and was like ‘why are you leaving now? I’m a movie star and a millionaire, why now?’ And I was like ‘you just haven’t been there for me and during this process I’ve become a woman and I don’t think you know who I am anymore.’”

From People Pleaser to Self-Focused: Kelly’s New Outlook on Life

Following the end of her relationship with Jason Statham, Kelly Brook underwent a significant personal transformation. She reflected on her past tendency to be a “people pleaser,” always putting others’ needs before her own. This self-sacrificing attitude, she admitted, didn’t serve her well.

“I have been in the past such a people pleaser and wanting to be friends with everyone and wanting to be there for everyone and not putting myself first,” Kelly shared. However, as she’s grown older, she’s embraced a bolder approach to life. “As I get older, I’ve become more of a selfish b***h and I don’t really care anymore.”

This shift has empowered Kelly to prioritize her own happiness and well-being, a change that has positively impacted her personal and professional life. She’s now happily married to French model Jeremy Parisi, whom she wed in 2022, marking a fresh and joyful chapter in her life.

Despite her fears—Kelly admits to being terrified of heights, snakes, and spiders—she’s determined to face her phobias head-on. “I’m happy to face my phobias – I think it will be quite empowering,” she said.
