I feel sorry for the kids as well. She was an idiot to introduce her young kids to him as a substitute Dad within weeks of meeting him. I hope she’s learnt her lesson to keep it more chill next time & give it at least a few months.

Sounds like it’s not been friendly. And sounds like this came from her, not him. I doubt she did anything, probably just realised it wasn’t working, planned to break it off but dragged it on too long.

 

[dollychops]

Ahh I feel bad for her, that’s going to hurt. Even if she knew, it’s just shitty that he did it the weekend she’s clearly struggling to move out of their own home, with 2 children

 

[Bol85]

How the hell does she afford to go to Dubai, Bali, Mauritius & Corfu in one year?! As a now single parent living in a pretty expensive part of the UK. No cost of living crisis for her is there.. I’m going to take a wild guess some of these will be ads.

She said in a recent video the last year has been difficult in the house and she just couldn’t wait for a fresh start. From what I remember he left just before Christmas 2022 and by February 2023 he was with this annoying woman and it seems because they shared the house and she couldn’t buy him out she had no choice but to sell, yet her moving weekend (when she had to be out) she had to drag the kids around and sleep at friends why couldn’t he change his days so the kids didn’t have to go through that? Oh yeah so he could get engaged. I really dislike men like him.

Potentially she feels like she doesn't need to run anything past David as she likely makes more money and it's her money she is spending and she doesn't need "permission" necessarily to do that if their finances aren't linked.

Also, if she wanted a tummy tuck/book job but David didn't want her to and she got it anyway...so what? If it makes her feel happier with her body and it is her savings spent on it there is no issue IMO. If she was going off the rails changing ever last part of herself with a clear body dysmorphia issue than yeah but if it is just a self esteem issue with her saggy skin then who are we or David to judge her doing so.

I'd be more concerned about the constant decision changing and decorating/wanting to move houses every few years. That screams discontent. And the puppy after getting rid of a dog? Learn from your mistakes. I guess she thinks they made a mistake before and they are more suited to a dog now but I get the impression she doesn't feel bad for getting Tilly and discarding the dog when she felt it was inconveniant.

Ehh, I probably would let my kid too Kids get tummy ache, could be because of the heat, could just be too much ice cream or she’s been eating too many sugary treats in one day! So long as they haven’t been sick or got an upset stomach toilet wise .. what else do you do on holiday if they seem fine the next day? A splash in the pool isn’t gona hurt her or anyone else!

I do hate this ‘making memories with my humans’ .. you are literally on a beach at sunset for Instagram content her posts don’t sound like it’s been all that dreamy to be honest. Perhaps the reality of a long haul holiday to a very hot country with two young kids & no partner to support you. She’s not known Jess for very long, I imagine it’s quite different to having David with her. Least she’s honest about it I suppose!

 

[anonauntie]

I don’t think we can look into David’s Instagram too much as it’s his professional one, so he will be posting generic things that people relate to and it would be frowned upon to bring personal matters up

this it’s his counselling page he will not be posting life updates or his own personal issues.

 

[Aynonmus1234]

Funny how David always wanted a private life and now with Ebony’s new office job she is likely going to be more private and David’s new girlfriend is full on content cteator posting all sorts of videos....its like the tables have turned its like he has gone back round full circle probably oh shit should of stuck w Ebony loool

 

[Cemma25]

It’s so soon and they seem comfortable around him so I’d say this isn’t the first time… and he obviously stays over.. he also posted a reel with ‘dad life’ saying when dad ends up carrying everything on a family day out (D and H’s coats and scooters) which… I know he’s a Dad but he’s not their Dad. It all seems very much too soon. It’s nice to see Ebony happy but those kids have had a lot piled on them

 

[Jordan101]

Ah I felt sorry for her but now I’ve just seen her self indulgent tik tok of her crying over how hard it is to be a single mum and now she’s irritated me. She’s not a single mum. The kids still have involvement and support from their father. It grinds my gears when people call themselves a single mum as there’s a difference between being SOLELY responsible for your children and co-parenting which is what she is doing. Yes co- parenting is difficult but it is no way the same as being a SOLE parent.

I think what you’ve said is incredibly unfair . The TikTok isn’t “self indulgent “ she is clearly a mum struggling on her own. People keep saying speak about mental health and when people say they’re struggling you’re saying it’s “self indulgent “ however what if she kept quiet and felt extremely alone because of it ? Maybe she just wanted to reach out and see if the strangers in the comments made her not feel alone. She had a partner she was engaged to who seemed to of got in a relationship within seconds and has a new world since her yet she’s having to sell the house they bought together , she lost a job she’s struggling and that’s ok to share. She’s a single parent she is single and struggling and how dare you invalidate someone’s struggles in the way you have .

David always said he didn’t want Daisy filmed once she started school, shame Ebony seems to think it’s fine showing her, especially as she seems a very sensitive child.

 

[ellyjelly2]

Aww Ebony has bought a house! I am so pleased for her.

 

[Aynonmus1234]

I can’t she has time to go gym during the day. YouTubers have SO much time I can’t imagine her having the time to do that in a 9-5 job. I think they make to much money for the amount of effort put in I mean posting on Instagram and getting paid to do it hardly rocket science. I wish I had the time to go gym during the day. I know people who struggle to pick their kids up because of work

 

[Bol85]

I’m really not a fan of this new BFF of hers. Ebony was always a really relatable influencer & not too extreme with ads/gifts & the really boring/dull influencer stuff. Now she’s teamed up with this Jess, it’s just wall to wall stories & posts of her in different outfits against a wall. No-one needs that many bloody coats & jackets! And loads of stupid posing & ads. She always used to put up a little story saying an ad is coming up, thanks for the support. Now, just gifted this & gifted that.

Really turning me off her to be honest.

 

[Bol85]

Also really unimpressed he’s allowing his fairly new girlfriend to be all step-mum on social media. Especially over Christmas when it’s always going to be really hard on one parent if you aren’t spending it together. It comes across as really bitchy. He’s introduced her to them ridiculously quickly as well. My cousin waited an entire year of a new relationship before bringing the kids in. They did meet her boyfriend a couple times towards the back end of their first year but only ever as her friend. Maybe that’s extreme but she spent her childhood meeting multiple girlfriends of her Dads & she hated it. So she made sure she was settled & serious first.

For all their talk of an amicable split, why not spend a little bit of Christmas together for the sake of the kids?! Do Christmas morning together. I know plenty of split up parents who suck up the awkward on Christmas.

If he is matted enough he needs shaving all over then she needs to brush him more.
Cockerpoo isn't it? They do need regular brushing, especially in the winter with mud/wet.

 

[shammy24]

It’s so odd. My boyfriend has a daughter and we took it very slow with introductions. I absolutely love her and she loves me but I’m very much ‘dads girlfriend’. I would never dream of posting her or anything related to her on socials, it’s not my place. My boyfriend and her mum are on very good terms and do an amazing job of co-parenting. I don’t need to play ‘mum’ she already has a great one. I really feel for Ebony, David really should have set boundaries from the outset, it all seems to have moved very quickly.

 

[Bol85]

I think it was clear they were fairly checked out of their relationship when he moved out for 6 months. Relationships go through rough patches but you work them out together, not apart. You feel like you ‘lost yourself’, I get that hugely but me & my husband have supported each other in having time to find ourselves again. We give each other time & space to do our own hobbies & spend time with friends. Communication is absolutely key to all this and David moving out was basically the opposite of communicating! I got the impression that the 6 month move out wasn’t as amicable as it was portrayed. You don’t move out of your families home unless you seriously were not getting on with your partner. The whole thing must have really confused the kids. She always said they were fine but she wonders why Daisy is sobbing leaving her at school drop off still - I imagine it’s because Daddy left home suddenly & didn’t come back. Then came back & then left again. Speaking from experience of working with early primary aged kids, parents breaking up *always* affects kids. Attachment issues are usually at the forefront.

New relationships are fine. I hope they don’t involve the kids until much further down the line.

 

[CoffeeMamma]

I think the way David has handled this situation is awful. Certainly wouldn't pay for him to be my therapist after seeing this play out online.

 

[HM92]

I feel a bit sad that the video of Hudson blowing his candles out for his birthday has David and his girlfriend next to him as though they’re his parents. It’s great that all 3 of them are co-parenting and at his party but I don’t know I can’t explain why it just made me feel a bit sad for Ebony!
