Mary Kennedy is VIP Magazine’s September cover star.
She’s moved into a new stage of her life as she’s stepped away from Nationwide, is living in her new home and has split from her partner.
Speaking to VIP Magazine, she admits that her family, including her sister, children and grandchildren, have been a brilliant support as she enters this new chapter.
“I don’t have a partner anymore for almost a year now, so I’m doing things on my own again,” she explains.

“But I’m very lucky, even though I’m shy by nature, I can just breathe in and go for things rather than push back. So, I really appreciate having a huge body of friends and family with no notions and no formality; the more the merrier has always been the mantra.”
She goes on to say: “I came back from Tyrone today and this evening I have a really good friend Eleanor Shanley, the singer, who also sang at Tom and Shona’s wedding, coming up stay. We’re going to pop over and see Tom and Shona too. And then tomorrow I’m going to see my other daughter Eva and her family in Limerick.”
While she is loving life, she admits that she has had her “hardships” as well.
