Longtime lurker! Sorry for the late jump-in re: the break-up. I watched Zoe and the gleam group back from its beginning then sort of became more of a Niomi follower once she got into her Notting Hill flat with all the fashion world stuff, fitness, I even bought Eat Smart lol (why does she NEVER actually make any of her own recipes any more... seems really fake), etc... that being said, she has become way less relatable after meeting Joey but I agree with whoever said it that she probably would have became that way anyway, living in London and socializing in certain circles. And her quarantine content has been incredibly tone deaf I totally thought I was done with her... but then of course the break up is exciting lol, though of course I feel bad for her. My 2.5 year bf and I broke up right around the same time (although we weren't seeing each other that much, rather than TOO much, because I was out of town a lot, and we weren't engaged, but I still get how painful it is). I guess what I wanted to say is, as much as we can criticize Niomi for being vapid and having food issues, Joe KNEW all those things about her when he asked her to marry him. For goodness sake they lived together. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but when you ask a woman to marry you you don't take it back unless something really bad happened like cheating, or you find out something that you didn't know about them that's a dealbreaker. Joe just seems really immature to me, and entitled, that he could do that to someone. Like if I was Niomi I'd be pissed... like why ask her to marry you if you don't REALLY know. He seems kind of conflict avoidant, like my ex, who let small things simmer until they became something he couldn't handle. Rather than working through them as a team. If it was for convenience of being engaged in India (which is also my theory), he should have been honest with her. Sure, it's better in the long run for them both to find someone better suited, but a lot of arranged marriages work out because the mindset is to MAKE it work. And they end up really happy. Along the same lines, you can't expect someone to remain the same person through decades of marriage. But you made a commitment and do your best. I don't know. I guess we really can't know the whole situation (and I doubt Niomi will ever share it) but it just seems like Joe was pretty dumb to have asked her to marry him if he wasn't on board for the long haul. It makes him look like a big loser to me, not that I really saw much in him anyway... so, to that extent, maybe Niomi really IS happy right now. That she doesn't have to be with someone that would cut and run if anything too "difficult" for him came up in the future. But I agree that flat is small and dark... and no patio or outdoor space that we're aware of? She has so much money I would imagine a nicer flat would be better for her right now... sorry for the long post!
