Model and TV presenter Noelle Reno has said the death of her former fiancé, property tycoon Scot Young, led her closer to her “life’s purpose”.

She said the negative things had happened in her life because she had neglected who she was.

In a blog for the Huffington Post, Ms Reno wrote how life coach and ex-model Gigi Young had inspired her to understand the tragedies in life were “to get you back to who you are.”

She wrote: “My dramatic love life has been well documented in the British press over the years. I’ve been engaged twice. Both engagements ended in spirals of destruction and trauma — mental institutes, rehabs, lawsuits, prison, and death (the guys, not me!).

“Looking back, it is crystal clear to me that these events occurred to lead me closer the Life Purpose I am now following. When the men were around I wasn’t able to fully realize my path.

“Regardless of the path, your Life Purpose is magnetic and is always trying to get you closer and closer to who you are. If you choose to ignore it negative things will happen in your life.”

Ms Reno, 31, had been in a five-and-a-half year on-off relationship with bankrupt Scot Young when he plunged to his death from their fourth floor flat in Marylebone last December.

Mr Young, 52, who battled drug problems and was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder, had been discharged from hospital hours before he was found. An inquest heard he was in the throes of a paranoid breakdown when he died and heard voices telling him the world was going to end. Assistant coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe ruled out foul play but could not record a suicide verdict due to “insufficient evidence”.

Ms Reno split from her first fiancé, American banking heir Matthew Mellon, in 2008. He lives in New York City with his wife Nicole.
