I watched a bit of their series last night and felt really quite envious afterwards and am not usually like that.
They are both extremely wealthy, raised with money, young, good looking, healthy, big families, the best of everything in life.

They seem lovely, some people really do get it all though don’t they!

I haven’t watched the show because their Instagram posts have been doing my head in.
The whole “super woman bouncing back” but completely ignorant to how money has played a huge part in that.
I was also slightly bitter as I had my baby at the same time whilst dealing with my dead Mum so I bounced absolutely everywhere but back.

I do love looking at rich people’s houses though.

What would be the point of a Lavender marriage? It's not the 50's where men have to hide. There were gay men on Made in Chelsea and gay presenters on Radio 1. It would hardly of held him back in his career.

He is cheerful and always seems very positive. Can’t say attractive though… the super bleachy blonde hair is giving Donald T.

More Boris Johnson in looks and character.

She seems to have a resting bitch face where she looks to be permanently braced for him making some foolish comment. Sort of sneering at him.

I saw them get together on MIC. It was weird and it very much felt like she aimed for him specifically. So no envy here.

I’m not up to her having had the baby yet

I actually now feel really sorry for him seeing the mum, they looked through the photo album and looking at the picture of the nanny and the mum saying ‘Oh she was fabulous, we’d be in Miami or wherever and she’d fly Jamie out to wherever we were if we wanted’ that and him being sent away at such a young age to boarding school 😔 I don’t know how you could do that to a little child

Yeah, I’d say both had kind of hands off parents & I think they both went to boarding school etc.

its not all flowers & roses it seems

its amazing he has such a good relationship with his mum given how hands off she seemed to be

Yes, he was just saying to her that he could have been saved all the therapy he’s had to have if she’d hugged him or patted him on the head. It was said a bit jokingly but obviously had meaning behind it, she just laughed 😬

Why though, what would be the point in this day and age?

So ive seen the birth

My dd is 7 now... does anyone else just not care about someone's motherhood feels once they've been doing it for a long time

Theyre like, oh i'm so tired

I AM TIRED

I must say, being confronted about your parenting on tv, I dunno what else I'd do 😕

That kind of parenting experience was normal for them I guess

😄 Stacey Solomon's Rex is the same age as my dd

Mine is autistic and still pre verbal. I had to delete Instagram as I got myself into a state watching rex speak 🙈🙈

Sorry for your loss x

And solidarity. 'Bouncing right back' would piss me off as well, you've only got one and you're super rich!!

Didn't get that vibe personally. She was with someone else and then went off with him. I was quite surprised they got married tbh.

swingingbytheseat · 09/04/2026 23:20

He’s nice and funny but definitely not a grown up yet.
i would agree he seems a bit gay

He’s 37 years old 🙄

Do you think so? I think it seems easy now, especially for them 😄

Elishiva · 10/04/2026 01:07

I’m not a jealous person anyway but I could never feel jealous of these people, their lives are so far removed from mine, with the family fortunes or whatever.
Im money and time poor.
Jamie and his wife would have as a hard time contemplating my life as I would theirs. We’re on separate planets.
There are different ways of being rich, seems having tonnes of money makes you poorer in some ways, like being able and wanting to send your small children away.
Im rich in other ways. I’m a millionaire by those standards, my sons are near me: I’m close to my mum and sisters and cousins.
makes me wonder actually if Jamie could see how I grew up like that, if he would swap the money for it or be jealous.

Charlize43 · 10/04/2026 01:10

Just because people are rich doesn't mean they're not trashy...

Are they decent people?

SheSaidHummingbird · 10/04/2026 01:11

@Cindycrawfordlooksamazeballs I could never be happy married to him.

SugarPuffSandwiches · 10/04/2026 01:12

What is it with all the jealousy threads today?! This is the 3rd one. No idea who these people are but stop obsessing over others and concentrate on yourself.

Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair · 09/04/2026 21:55

I watched it and quite liked it. I listen to their podcast and it's actually quite funny and they seem to have a normal relationship money aside.
That being said, yes they are wealthy but money doesn't bring happiness.

No it doesnt but I would rather be miserable with money than without. Have done both, and I know which I prefer!

Villanousvillans · 10/04/2026 01:49

He’s posh, not gay. 😂

Are you thinking of Ollie Lock or John Francis? The other gay characters in MIC.

driftingdownintomiami · 10/04/2026 02:27

He's not gay 🤣 but it is annoying to watch people with every privilege do something we've done with just normal pleb salaries.

DeeLasVegas · 10/04/2026 02:37

Cindycrawfordlooksamazeballs · 09/04/2026 21:48

Do you think?

No he is not gay.
