Aibu to ask if you have a famous DH

Does it bother you? I have a semi famous DH, he gets paid to gig and go on podcasts etc if we go out locally he does get asked for selfies so we tend to go away for weekends as a family.

I do find it slightly annoying but I guess it pays the bills 💃

I know who it is. DAVID FUCKING GUETTA. 🎉🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I cant wait to see him in Ibiza this year! 😂🚨

Well his girlfriend is stunning!

I'm not going to name him.

He's a very well known and international DJ, and has been since the 90's. He started on pirate radio stations and illegal raves and now gets to headline festivals worldwide. He is already booked through to the end of next year.

💃

I'm really curious.

I know hundreds of DJs via my work. I probably know him if he does UK festivals.

OP, I'm sorry, but being an internationally known DJ probably means that your husband does some gigs in Ibiza.
Yes that scene attracts thousands but over 99% of the British population will have no idea who is is. You must realise that.

An Ibiza DJ will be unheard of at a Year 6 party.

I also suspect that most Ibiza DJs will volunteer to host a children's party.

I think you might be hung up on a wistful , wannabe celebrity who has no standing on British radio, else he'd have been snapped up.

DJing to drunks and coke heads, in the Balearics or it's surrounds does not a celebrity make.

Nailed it.

Me and DH are famously wankers. I wouldn't have it any other way 💗

Isn’t Chris Toothbrush Evans really unwell?

Gosh I didn’t know that, I would not have mentioned him if I had.

Chris Evans is thankfully currently cancer~ free according to google.

mrlistersgelfbride · 30/03/2024 19:35

I've nothing to add accept:
My first proper boyfriend was a dead ringer for James Van de Beek -Dawson in Dawson's creek. This was 22 years ago and the program was quite famous.
A couple of times I was with him in town some girls ran toward him saying 'Dawson, Dawson' all giddy. Weird 😂

I suspect my oldest son will be famous. I’ve no idea how it will all pan out but there is potential for him to be really famous in the next year or 2. (He’s 14 nearly 15). I’m not really sure what it will mean potentially I may have to give up work. Would change our lives that’s for sure, but I suspect I would prefer my life now if it changed drastically.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dated an actor once, was pretty weird tbh. He was "resting" aka years since a proper job (I don't count casualty, doctors or midsomer murders one off characters as proper work!) People would come up and ask if he was his character Confused. Anyway he was a bit full of himself and quite frankly didn't own a house at 50 so wasn't for me

You dumped somebody because they didn't own a house? What???

Scrunshine · 30/03/2024 20:26

Wow. 26 pages of people tripping over themselves to tell the OP that nobody cares. There are hundreds of unanswered threads that genuinely nobody cares about. Evidently people do very much care about the OPs famous husband

To be fair depending on how successful it's a bit of a red flag that he is financially irresponsible of he can't purchase a home.

The actor I dated made awful financial decisions despite having earned a ton of money. It was alarming.

Too young
He wasn't DJing in the 90's

Bigstuffypillow · 30/03/2024 20:34

Well, we are a famous family. My dad was once on 'sale of the century' with Nicholas Parsons. He won the grand total of £42!!
And I myself was on 'Runaround' with Mike Read
How we cope as a family with all this notoriety I never know, but we get by.😉

Nearly had to NC as this is outing, but DH was “boot’s baby of the year” in the 90s. Brings it up more than I think he should…

It’s the pomposity of saying one has a famous husband that is so weird.
People who really DO have well known and recognised partners tend to keep it on the downlow as they know how important privacy is.

That’s why people are taking the piss- “He’s famous in Bletchley “

I expect If he were to see this thread , he’d cringe. 😬

We have a beautiful dog: every time we take her out for her walk, she is recognised by many, and commented on by many more people for her looks!
Everyone wants to talk to her and stroke her: this morning I happened to be walking her on my own when a complete stranger walked past and greeted her with a smile and a “good morning”…
I guess I also have the knowledge that I am not the celebrity in this partnership🤣

We have a collie cross, out on walks people stop to admire him, tell how gorgeous he is etc. Lots of compliments ‘What age is he?Amazing, he looks like a pup.’ Our vet adores him, our dog groomer wants to keep him.
I never get fuss so definitely know who is the famous one in our family.

Well also it’s an anonymous forum so anyone can say any old bollocks and there’s no verification whatsoever. So it’s totally meaningless!

I really
hope the husband is the guy from Scooter

Meowandthen · 30/03/2024 20:52

Is this an attempted brag? It looks like it. 🥱🙄

so your husband is a legend in his own lunchtime. No one cares.

Nothing whatsoever!

Not my DH unless there's some kind of Oscar for "the man who can take two hours to sweep the ground floor of the not actually very big house."

My brother in law is famous and has lots of very famous mates, genuine A listers. His parties are rather entertaining.

Back in the nineties, I had a very short relationship with an actor who was just becoming quite well known. Now he's one of the most famous men on the planet. Nothing but good memories to be honest - he was an exceptional shag.

I had a much longer relationship with another actor who was on a long running UK series. He was fun, his female fans less so. Nothing like sitting with your bf having dinner and women slipping him their phone number.

But THE most famous thing in my life is my dog who is an absolute people magnet. He's a cross breed, massive, hairy and people come up and tell me how beautiful he is all the time. it's gone to his head now though and he's insufferable... wants his dental chews chilled, and his morning toast at the perfect temperature with a thick layer of butter.
