Love Actually actress Martine McCutcheon is navigating turbulent waters once again, as public records confirm she has declared bankruptcy declaration just a year following her breakup with her husband, Jack McManus.
The 49-year-old star has seen her personal fortunes plummet, with court documents revealing an insolvency order issued on March 31, 2023, after a petition for bankruptcy was filed, RadarOnline.com can report.
The request stemmed from a significant debt owed to LDF Finance, as reported in official public records. This latest financial predicament follows her struggles related to the sale of her stunning Surrey mansion, which she was recently forced to cut the asking price for. This tumultuous chapter in McCutcheon’s life comes not long after she announced the end of her marriage to McManus, her partner of 18 years.
The former couple shares a 10-year-old son named Rafferty, who has reportedly been a “source of solace” during this trying time.
The split, confirmed via McCutcheon’s Instagram, was characterized by a sense of mutual respect and care.
Hinting at a desire to remain amicable for the sake of their child, she shared: “After much thought and consideration, Jack has decided it’s best for us to separate after 18 years together and I accept his decision. I continue to send Jack, all the love, luck and happiness for the next chapter of his life.”
In addition to her personal struggles, the actress’s business, Raven Music Ltd, faced its own downfall, being officially dissolved last month due to unpaid tax bills, a request initiated by HMRC.
Reports indicate that the company owed more than $235,000 in taxes for the year following February 2022, raising serious questions about McCutcheon’s financial management. Despite the mounting pressures and significant debts, McCutcheon has shown remarkable resilience, continuing to project an image of positivity on her social media platforms. Energizing her 635,000 Instagram followers, she recently showcased a day of family fun at Hampton Court River.
Sharing a moment of joy, she penned: “Wow… I needed this more than even I thought! I love being by the water… The UK has SO many beautiful places and in the sunshine, it really does take some beating, doesn’t it?”
