Sometimes when things are planned far in advance with lots of family involved, like the trip to America (for her cousins wedding I think it was?) that can be a sort of bookend for a long term relationship. Like ‘we need to keep things outwardly ok to get through the trip’ type thing. And if they were on ok terms, but accepting they were going to separate, let’s face it a holiday with two parents is easier than one, even if other family members are on hand to help. Especially if no one’s done anything wrong, just one of those of things, and if both still get on well with each other’s families.
Sometimes, with long term breakups, it can happen so slowly like drifting and then quickly. Throw in a family wedding overseas, flights, hotels etc booked maybe a year in advance and I don’t think the holiday means they were necessarily together together at that point, just maybe that they were both able to put stuff aside and go and be a family unit with their son.

I’m sure it’s not all gwyneth style ‘conscious uncoupling’ sunshine & roses - it never is - but they are keeping it respectful & mature (as far as it appears). You really just never know.
Yes, that's true, and I guess they must be on relatively good terms if they went through with the holiday knowing that a split was imminent. It's all rather sad (if true) and I hope she's doing OK behind the scenes. She did allude to some hard times in her August 8th IG post; it seems this is mostly to do with her health but maybe she had some other stuff going on too. She talks about her friends wrapping her in cotton wool.

Yes - I remember clocking an Insta post from Spring about needing ‘kind, gentle love’ and it was a carousel of photos from her weekend featuring her son, her dog and her friends. Nothing definitive of course but with everything else in the mix it did add up.

Her son was only born early 2021 so she’s been through a lot. If there are any hairline cracks in your relationship having a baby can really blow them wide open

i notice hardly any mention of maggie anymore, i wonder if joe has her
I was wondering about Maggie too. I can't see Liv letting her go. Maybe they will share custody depending on what their living arrangements are. I think Liv is still in their house but I wonder if that will remain the case or if she'll have to sell.

Maggie was Liv's dog before she was theirs, so I don't think Joe would take her. I do wonder if her parents have taken Maggie though if she's got Arlo on her own.

I’ve long thought she lives quite a paired back lifestyle compared to some influencers, mainly in terms of her house. She’s not splashed out on something obscene that she’d have to sell, I know it won’t have been cheap but I imagine she’d probably be able to buy him out and keep it if she wanted to stay.

She is the only influencer I can think of who hasn’t changed a lot and I mean that in a good way. I follow her for the same reasons, style and content that I did 6/7 years ago. I admire that she doesn’t seem desperate to morph in to whatever is on trend at the moment.

I feel like I remember several instances of Maggie being quite poorly and needing a lot of care, maybe having Arlo on her own (as she appears to most of the time) plus a dog with complex health needs was too much.

I came here wondering if I'd missed an announcement about a separation. She's my favourite influencer and I hope she's doing ok, and only shares what she wants.

By chance I happened to see Joe in Bromley back in spring. He looked pretty run down, but no-one looks their best walking past the bus stop round the back of Boots do they.

In terms of their property - it's not a flash mansion out of town, but a Victorian house in zone 3/4 will still at you back the best part of a million!

I guess she’s keeping the house if she’s decorating it? Or maybe decorating it so she can sell it.

Yeah, now that I've started paying more attention to Liv's content, it does seem obvious that Joe is not around anymore.

She has huge charisma and I mostly enjoy her content but like a few others on this thread I find the ‘I’m so relatable, I’m just like you defrosting my freezer or fixing my dishwasher’ crap quite grating. Clearly she is a successful influencer and leads an exciting, fun and often pretty lavish lifestyle as a result. She is also lucky to have childcare (whether that’s the money to pay for it or grandparents willing to do it) to allow her to go to Paris, Spain etc every weekend…

She's posted today about navigating a difficult period in her personal life... she and Joe also don't seem to follow each other on Insta anymore. Seems like that pretty much confirms it

Also reading between the lines, she misses out any mention of Joe/wedding in her list of things she's documented over the years.

I really hope she’s not getting intrusive / inquisitive questions via DM. But given this is a clear ‘back the duck off everyone’ post (albeit the most polite & gentle I’ve ever seen) safe to say she’s up against it.

For an influencer she’s very self aware. She knows she made a deal with the devil. Yes the money and opportunities for influencers are incredible but when times are tough you are so exposed and the show must go on. All she can do is appeal to peoples better nature and hope it works on the whole.

Agree she’s very self aware. I think she’s smart and as professional as an influencer can get. Must be hugely challenging to strike the right balance of sharing your personal life with followers. It’s the main reason I’d never want it as a ‘career’. You sacrifice your privacy.

Really? I looked the other day and they were still following each other. Ig is crashing for me so I can't look now.
 
I just came here after seeing her post as I was shocked but you guys have been in it for months (tattle is always ahead!) It definitely seems like a spilt announcement if you read between the lines and I did notice too that she didn’t mention getting married as one of her milestones shared. I was taping through her stories the other day and saw her friend helping her paint her sitting room which I thought was weird. And yeah they also aren’t following each other anymore. Sad. They were a very cute couple and seemed to have the dream life most people would crave. It goes to show that you never know.
