The Irish actress and writer, who has received multiple awards for her roles in the comedy Bad Sisters, Pulling, and Catastrophe, has suggested that letting go of a past relationship may be “a great thing” and lead to exciting new possibilities.

The HBO comedy-drama Divorce, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church, was written by Horgan, who is now 52 years old.
She told a reporter from The Big Issue that she wished she could go back in time and tell her younger self that ending a relationship may be a good thing occasionally.

“It can mean that doors open for you and things start to feel more in line with who you are.
To me, divorce is a nasty word, and I think that’s especially true if your upbringing is anything like mine (I was raised Catholic). However, that is not the case.
“Divorce has the potential to be a life-altering boon. A lot of stigmas is associated with ending a relationship when it shouldn’t be.
Horgan and Jeremy Rainbird, a successful businessman, were married for a while before they divorced in 2019.
The actress also co-stars with Anne-Marie Duff and Eva Birthistle in the new Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters, while Dracula’s Claes Bang makes a cameo appearance.
