They are both incredibly fortunate people, and don't seem to be seeing any downsides to their situation, but as viewers I guess we are just projecting or own feelings onto what they choose to show us. It just seems a big step for N, she is the one who is uprooting her life, her work connections etc to basically, as someone said be in that "first lady role". That may suit her, but just how much was she actually included in this job decision, it's surely something you would talk to your partner about before even applying, rather than already deciding that you would go along, and her going with him is just a nice addition. To keep their London homes too, is also immensely privileged and all that flying back and forth, hardly "sustainable". Agree with everyone else here, she will likely act as in England, keeping to a small bubble of people who share the same socio-economic position as herself, and only venture out to do "charity work" with the locals, or attend yoga retreats.Welcome! And a pretty spot on post. She isn’t kidding anyone with her “not just hipster places” line. Only a few moments later she’s admitted she’s intending on spending a large amount of her time in soho house. For gods sake.
All that said about her specifically I think the marriage thing is a total red herring. And pretty old fashioned. I wouldn’t find it strange if say one of my friends moved to another country with their boyfriend of 3 years. Marriage wouldn’t be the first thing on my mind. They’ve already lived together for a bunch of time, and fifty years ago they may have been doing that as newlyweds. Culture has changed and you don’t need a wedding to make a serious commitment. And she’s not even 30. I wish I was under 30 with the prospect of moving to a new exciting country with my handsome boyfriend for his job that he’s really excited about while I take mine with me, watching the money continue to roll in in a country where it will go four times as far,also being blessed with the gift of an excess of new content that could finally make Niomi stand out on YouTube. (Mouthful sorry) At least for one video ...Plus she can always return to a loving supportive and wealthy family in the UK. She’s all good.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have high hopes. she will still be bland. Joe will still be dull. We all agree she won’t be culturally adventurous. But the point is the potential of adventure, of a new life, of living abroad.
marriage is kind of irrelevant in the equation, they will continue to live together and have a whole other ‘task’ to focus on -that’s settling in. I don’t know but I really would hope Niomi isn't worrying about marriage when she has so much ahead of her. I’m jealous of the opportunity! (Just reiterating that this post is saying I wish I could go in her place, with a less bland, more intelligent man, rather than claiming she’s about to conquer YouTube and develop an interesting personality to boot)
That makes a lot more sense, what is his job atm? It seems bizarre to be a coach for a sport you don't play, aren't most coaches ex professionals? (I have 0 interest in sports so no idea lol)Ahhh nepotism is alive and well. When she said Joe had been offered a job, I got the feeling that it wasn’t a “see a job advertised, apply, interview, nervous wait” scenario.
Then I did a Google to see if the sports press had any more on what the role is only to find out that Joe’s Dad has been involved in selecting the new Head Coach for the team alongside Andrew Strauss.
Totally agree about the marriage thing, I am in my early 30s and am shocked how the majority of my female friends see marriage (and changing their surname!!) as so important as I have never considered it to beshe’s talked a good few times about wanting to move to Australia for a few years, wasn’t that the plan after herself and Marcus broke up?
India is not Australia!! It’s gonna be a very different experience for her.
Ive just realised I haven’t watched her content in ages but the type of stuff she does won’t be effected by a move. That vanilla content can be produced anywhere
and for all the talk of marriage not being needed... I bet it’s her long term goal, no judgment either way in saying that
most women do still want to get married
And “buy a house with me.., follow me across the world...you’re still not getting a ring” is harsh
(Please don’t argue modern relationships I’m half joking... half)
Oh Joe isn’t the new coach, but you can bet Dad had a hand in lining him up for whatever his role is! Joe does brand partnerships for a sports company at the moment so I guess he’s going to have a marketing/PR role of some description.That makes a lot more sense, what is his job atm?

there is always a weird attitude when it comes to a woman wanting to get married.That makes a lot more sense, what is his job atm? It seems bizarre to be a coach for a sport you don't play, aren't most coaches ex professionals? (I have 0 interest in sports so no idea lol)

THIS!!! I have a friend who moved here for her boyfriend, 6 years later he says he’s not sure what he wants.I can’t speak for everyone else, but my concern is she’s heading towards heartache. Maybe it’ll work out for her, I hope it does —but I’ve seen similar situations with girlfriends that didn’t end well.
Marriage or no marriage, who cares. A proposal is a sign of a long term commitment, and watching her make so many changes to her life for someone without that sign is what worries me
She’ll fall in with Rosanna Falconer’s “crew” which is all polo and palaces but I think even so she’ll be really lonely. How will she cope without all her spendy fitness classes and prancing about London? She’ll also miss her family and sister a LOT.I don't think Niomi will last in India, even the rich areas. I know women who've gone there for work and it has been hard. It can be a bit unsafe for Western women. All the ones I know that have gone have always had to have drivers and some form of security. She will probably live in an expat compound.
I think this move will make or break her and Joe.
They have those kind of classes in the rich expat areas. She will be okay in that sense. I think she will miss her family too much though.She’ll fall in with Rosanna Falconer’s “crew” which is all polo and palaces but I think even so she’ll be really lonely.

I'm not sure about India but lots of countries have relatively easy to get visas for self employed people with over a certain income, I would assume it is something like thatI wonder what type of visa she will be getting since they aren't married or engaged.
exactly, and even if her content stays the same boring stuff as now the novelty of it being india will still attract new/bring back old subscribers (for a while at least)Dont follow her anymore, but saw her post on them moving to India.
I can imagine Niomi living on those hotel-like flats. A condo with all included and she won't need to leave the place too much. She won't experience the whole 'living there'.
Im sure Glean will arrange everything for her and she will have plently of activities to film/promote. From restaurants, to spas, to yoga classes... and of course some charity events to show she is there to 'help'.
She's probably already negotiating her new book with Gleam Titles, Niomi's Indian Vegan Curries Eat Pray Love adventure etc etcexactly, and even if her content stays the same boring stuff as now the novelty of it being india will still attract new/bring back old subscribers (for a while at least)
another gleam book, just what everyone needs!!!She's probably already negotiating her new book with Gleam Titles, Niomi's Indian Vegan Curries Eat Pray Love adventure etc etc
Oh I see her family visit them there at least twice. One of the videos will be called "My family suprising us on India". Just like their holidays in Spain will all be private yachts, fancy restaurants, gym sessions on the building they will live on, "shopping with my mom and grandma in India"...another gleam book, just what everyone needsa bit like a hernia.
god I forgot about Daisy Mae. She’s really gonna miss her!
