"My Love Life" was a single by Morrissey released in September 1991. It was a stand alone single rather than taken from any studio album, although it was included on the compilation album Suedehead: The Best of Morrissey.

Rather than continuing with the rockabilly sound of "Pregnant for the Last Time", Morrissey and song writing partner Mark Nevin returned to a poppier sound for the final single they would release together. Featuring Chrissie Hynde on harmony vocals, the single reached number 29 in the UK singles chart.

This was the last Morrissey release before he joined up with Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer on a full time basis.
