SUGABABES star Keisha Buchanan has admitted she "doesn't know how to date" after secretly splitting from a new romance.
The iconic 00s singer, 40, is diving back into the dating scene after an allegedly abusive, 10-year relationship with ex-boyfriend Taiwo Leo Atieno.
But in a new vlog on her YouTube channel titled "Life Update – I missed you!" Keisha opened up about secret romances in her life, including one suitor she fell for so much she moved to Canada to be with him.
Now she's looking onwards and upwards and is hopeful for what lies ahead for her after embracing single life.
Talking to the camera, Keisha admitted she was "low key embarrassed" talking about her personal life, but wanted to open up.
As part of the long chat, she said: "I went through a breakup, and we actually were living together in Canada. So my ex boyfriend is Canadian, and it didn't work out, and that's very difficult to kind of navigate."
The revelation comes as Keisha opened up about all aspects of her dating life and former romances, touching on difficult relationships that "could destroy someone".
Although she didn't mention the ex by name, Keisha said she wanted to be more |open and vulnerable" with fans as she is with those in her life, but noted: "I haven't had the best response with those, [or the] best experiences when I've been that way.
"Unfortunately, my vulnerability and my open heart has led to, you know, maybe opening doors to people and things that could definitely destroy a person, or try to at least.
"But I'm making decisions today that will allow me to enjoy things way more."
Keisha revealed that she is someone who is often in long-term relationships – joking: "I've been single now for, like, I want to say, like, a good part of a year and a half.
"This feels so weird because I don't know how to date. So this is the phase that I'm in now."
She then revealed: "I can only put my heart and my energy in one place.
"So if dating means dating loads of people and speaking to loads of people, I need to be taught how to do that."
As Keisha embraces single life and continues to tour to sold out arenas with Sugababes, former footballer Atieno is preparing to face court for a string of charges waged against him regarding her.
Atieno has been charged with controlling and coercive behaviour between December 2015 and May 2018 and assault occasioning actual bodily harm between January 2012 and January 2015.
He is also accused of harassment between January 2021 and December last year and an alleged breach of a non-molestation order.
It's alleged during the height of their romance, Atieno would control what Keisha ate, what lipstick she couldn't wear, and what she could watch on TV.
He is set to enter his plea at Southwark Crown Court on August 22, with a five-day trial set for April 13 next year.
