Liv Purvis

[bellbells16]

They divorced quite a while ago though! Unless Joe needs to sell it now in order to buy a new place maybe…

They separated 2 years ago. It can take a while for a divorce to be finalised. They may have also come to an agreement about staying put for Arlo’s benefit instead of everything going down at once. Or yeah Joe might want his share to buy something else. Honestly I’d want a fresh start myself.

Today is Joe's birthday (not a creep, I just happened to see it on one of his sister's instagrams) so I wonder if she'll say anything

 

[scoobie]

It’s surprised me that she’s abandoned her Insecure Girls Club venture for so long since it was once successful enough to bring out a book. I thought she’d taken a step back - for a while it seemed to just be run by an intern - and now it’s pretty much gone silent.

One thing that's making me think there is trouble in paradise is she never used to credit whoever took photos of her on her blog, presumably because it was Joe. However, her last few posts have credits on them to a different photographer.

I noticed this too, there has been a shift to using other photographers that coincides with no rings / Joe disappearing from view… I suppose to put the other (weaker) explanation forward, potentially it’s not ideal for childcare to have both parents out on the same job at the same time.

I am so sick of every single Mum influencer parading around in an Artipoppe baby carrier. Like clones. I have ever seen a non influencer wear one, they seem to be made for vain Insta Mums only.

Came here to say this. They are unjustifiably expensive....and Liv just said she hopes to be using it for a long time....good luck getting your baby in there in a few months time. It's ridiculous how expensive they are and only inwards face.

 

[bellbells16]

Wow! Feels faaaast especially considering living together means he’s also becoming a step-dad as well as home owner?!

It is fast! They’re not even together two years and she was only just out of a long term relationship. I always thought Liv came across as sensible, obviously not!

 

[SundaysChild]

Odd that Liv is so conscious of not showing Arlo whereas Joe happily shares photos of him!

 

[Bleurghgram]

Good point on buying time too, I hadn’t considered that. And looking may have taken a while.

(I’m 5 months into dating a divorced dad, I have no intention of meeting his children until it’s been a year, and will move so slowly from then, but to be honest we’d probably already be living together if it weren’t for them )

 

[CommentBelow]

Genuinely interested, would 19 months be considered too fast if there wasn’t a child involved? Seems like a fairly normal timeline for someone in their 30s to me, especially when you don’t want to move someone into your marital home.

Subjective of course - but it takes a while to buy a house so the idea of deciding to buy a house with someone after a year together max feels fast to me.

I really feel for her. To go from a (well, seemingly) idyllic life with a childhood sweetheart, buying a lovely house, having a dream wedding and a beautiful baby … to becoming a single mother, living alone with her young child and trying to balance work and maintaining her value as an influencer with caring for him... Its a level of emotional upheaval I can’t even comprehend. She’s not even 30 years old.

She’s not even 30? That makes a lot of sense. My partner and I would not have been strong/mature enough in our 20s to have a baby without destroying our relationship.

Livvvv did you really fly from London to Edinburgh this is why I can never take influencers seriously when they try to be all I care about the planet. It's just a bandwagon for them.

She could surely afford the train (especially as it was for a trip to a v expensive looking hotel which she got for free) and have the time to take a longer journey. I know for people struggling with money, sometimes flights are cheaper than trains (which is bananas) so could see the reasoning there.

Maybe I am extra sensitive as I work for a charity focusing on climate change but it really annoys me and I needed to vent

Maybe cos she was travelling with Arlo, the longer journey time put her off? Definitely agree with you though, and airports are stressful with kids too.

I grew up in Bromley and have known Liv for years. She has always been fake nice and very selfish. Always wants to be centre of attention but i guess all of that combined that got her to where she is now. As for Joe, he is a deeply insecure man who felt emasculated by her success. She really did try to make it work but he lied to her about the weirdest things.

Any info on Liv's new man?

Seems like Joe moved on from Liv rather quickly from what we've seen...

 

[ECH]

Yes, you're right, I just checked and it does look like his sister's place. That would have been quick if they had moved in together already!

Wouldn't be surprised though with how quick it seems like he's trying to replace Liv

 

[EllsBellsWells]

Really really disappointed that she flew to Edinburgh.

 

[Mermaid456]

@joegalvinphoto is still up

 

[bellbells16]

She bought the house with the new guy - that is a crazy commitment!

 

[clueless]

Wondering if she’s in Suffolk with someone new…

Me too! Anytime she’s with friends or family, she always tags them… it looked like a lovely and fun time.

This sentence confused me initially as the girl wrote “& by joe” when it should be “by jove” for goodness sake.

 

[imtakingabath]

I thought that too and came here to compare! I think it could just be a case of film photos being very flattering and in the story posts he had longer blonde hair that really doesn’t suit him. You can see a bit of it in the left of the polaroid… I’m 99% sure she doesn’t have a second new boyf ready for a hard launch within weeks…?

She did have a story up about writing more about love and dating so maybe we will get a bit more info about what went down. I do find it fascinating how many very long term relationships seem to break down quickly after marriage / kids.

Yeah I think in the other photo above his blond hair is kind of hidden/swept back which makes him look quite different!

 

[clueless]

I wonder did the auctions all end, or if they've actually taken everything down? Hopefully the former as it's interesting to see what's being sold and how often.

 

[clueless]

I see Liv has sold her house! Didn’t see that coming (unless I missed her talking about it). It was a lovely place. I wonder why and what her plans are now?
