Once the romantic lead in Love Actually, Martine McCutcheon is stepping back into the spotlight after a rocky personal and financial journey. At 49, following a bankruptcy, a divorce from her husband Jack McManus, and selling their £1.3 million Surrey home, the star is cashing in on the festive season with five high-profile brand collaborations. From Costa Coffee to Google Pixel, the former singer-turned-influencer is securing lucrative deals, proving her resilience after a challenging year.
Martine’s bankruptcy earlier this year, following her split from Jack after 18 years of marriage, shocked fans. Yet, she’s turning the page by embracing the spotlight once more, starring in Christmas promotions, including recreating iconic Love Actually moments with her former co-star Thomas Brodie-Sangster for a Google Pixel ad.
Through a series of endorsements—Costa, Google, Elavate Collagen, Polytar, and even a hotel meet-and-greet—Martine is not only securing her finances but also showing the world her resilience. Her latest venture includes an Instagram campaign where she’s candid about aging, discussing the skin-saving benefits of collagen supplements and sharing her journey of self-care.
In a heartfelt post about her career and health, Martine shared, “I’ve been through so much, but the support and love from fans keep me going. I’m embracing this new chapter—struggles and all.” She’s also been vocal about her desire to maintain privacy for her son during these turbulent times.
The star has taken control of her narrative, turning her financial troubles into an opportunity to redefine herself. “It’s all about celebrating the now and looking forward to what’s next,” she says, showing that even in the face of hardship, Martine McCutcheon’s determination and spirit are unshaken.
From her bankruptcy to these festive promos, Martine proves that resilience and reinvention are the best ways to move forward. She may have faced setbacks, but this Christmas season, she’s rising again—stronger, smarter, and ready to shine in her own way.
