An ex -wife has shared how she has put her past relationship behind her so much that she decided to do her former husband's new wife's wedding makeup. Clare Wood, 45, and Bonny Heatherington, 43, have formed a friendship over the past few years of sharing parenting responsibilities alongside husband, Dan.

Clare even agreed to do Bonny's hair and makeup on her wedding day, a task most brides wouldn't trust the groom's ex to do. 'It wouldn't be right if I said it wasn't weird because it is, but really, it was a privilege that I could be a part of that day with my children too,' the makeup artist said.

From Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, UK, Clare told how she split up with her husband, Dan, in 2019 due to the pair not being happy for some time. Clare Wood (right) was thrilled when Bonny Heatherington (left) asked her to do her makeup for her upcoming nuptials - to Clare's ex-husband Dan.

'It wouldn't be right if I said it wasn't weird because it is, but really, it was a privilege that I could be a part of that day with my children too,' the makeup artist said. After Dan proposed, he and Bonny started to plan their wedding with the bride immediately jumping to ask Clare to be her makeup artist for the day.
![['I wasn't nervous at all as I knew (Clare would) have to sit in the church feeling responsible if it went wrong!' Bonny laughed]](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/11/09/14/91882367-14062631-image-a-5_1731160847207.jpg)
However, she explained that they made it work and went on to be very good friends, prioritising looking after their children between them. In 2020, after meeting each other on a dating app, Bonny and Dan started their relationship. Six months into their relationship, Bonny finally had the chance to meet Clare, something that was very important to both of them.
