TESS HOLLIDAY TALKS TOXIC LOVE: Tess Holliday is opening up about leaving a bad relationship after her split from husband Nick Holliday. On IG, she wrote that it has been “freeing” to leave what she called an “abusive, unhealthy, toxic marriage.” The 35-year-old added: “I know so many people are going through similar things. I can’t say that it’s as easy as leaving because for some, they don’t get that choice, it’s stolen from them. Not everyone gets to walk away (claw my way out, in my case) and feel the sun kissing their skin, & I hold space for those that we have lost to intimate partner violence. I know how lucky I am, & it’s not something I take for granted. If you are in this situation, you are so loved & your feelings are valid, even if you can’t see that right now. This isn’t your fault.” The pair were married in July of 2015 and confirmed their split in October 2020.
