Rosie Chappel

does anyone know why her and her husband broke up?

She hasnt given details but did talk about being heartbroken / not wanting to leave it behind. If I had to guess her ex didn't like her having her own career outside of the home - she was basically a house wife their entire relationship - this combined with his bankruptcy - standard midlife crisis rubbish from a crappy man. Wouldn't surprise me if he has shacked up with a younger woman with less commitments who can pander to him. But I could be projecting as a child of divorce

Yes I have a really good feeling about her future. Also I know it’s not the be all and end all and her priority is her kids/uni but I think she will meet someone lovely who adores her in the future. Her kids are also adorable.

Oh she has, no pun intended, a rosy future but this is only because she comes across as a lovely, hardworking person who clearly adores her children and living in a kind and caring way.

Does anyone know how Rosie has managed to snag a fashion partnership with luxury French fashion brand Sezane? Where cardigans retail around 130 quid! Practically everything is over 100quid. Obviously good for her, coining it in but
I mean surely there are other fashion bloggers with larger followings who would be more suited or are the brand now trying to recruit NHS staff

I think she does nail it as an aspirational influencer. I don’t know how she manages it with a fairly new midwife’s salary as a single parent. There’s just something very middle class about her isn’t there I do really like her. I wonder if she still has a boyfriend. Her ex did a podcast recently and said he has a partner so has obvs moved on…

I like Rosie - her style, and her content... but I’m often left wondering...How does she afford her life?

She’s training to be a midwife so no income there. I doubt she makes much from social media.. and yet she lives in a beautiful, large home in the countryside in the South based on her accent and the places she goes. She is always buying new clothes from Zara (at £50 a pop for a dress)... is she from a wealthy family? Was her ex husband loaded? I don’t get it!

 

[slugella]

So intrigued by this!

 

[AfroCircus]

I really like Rosie but how does she maintain a rotating door of new dresses on a student midwife salary.

 

[orangebanana]

Delighted for her!

That's awful about her sister, I hope she is on the mend.

As for domestic abuse - I've been following Rosie for God knows how long, since she was making YouTube videos, and looking back it kind of fits.

As far as I remember she moved into his house whilst still at Uni. So 20, 21? And immediately seemed to take up this house wife role. She then seemed to go straight into blogging and as far as I can tell was financially dependent on him basically forever.

She always just seemed completely devoted to him and he was quite a good bit older and more established than her. The fact that he left the moment she got a sniff of independence kind of says it all IMO. You're going to walk out on your wife when she's a term into her much longed for career change? After she's clearly supported you for so long? Mmm yeah wouldn't surprise me if he was total douchebag all round.

I always got the impression with Rosie that she was absolutely desperate for a traditional family life, to be a wife and mother. Then it seems like she wanted something more than that and the marriage fell apart.

She said she used all of the resources herself...

I remember she spoke about getting benefits on twitter, so I don't think she has much in the way of cashflow. Hopefully she is rinsing her dopey ex for every penny. No idea how the rent gets paid.

Can someone start a thread for her mate Tania. If I have to see one more story of a super privileged woman sitting in a period house in Bristol which she lives in for free whilst selling her London apartment, talking about how her baby can do manifestation I'm going to scream.

Seconded, her smugness is too much.

 

[hahaha62]

Me too! I'd be really shocked if there is any real dirt tbh. Subject change but I think her children are just the cutest!

 

[SunshineSally]

I have followed Rosie for years and I will be VERY surprised if there is any dirt on her. She has always come across as a lovely person

 

[Rosie878]

I guess it would be financial pressure for him too if she decided to go back to education. They probably didn’t need childcare before that and it meant her taking a step back from blogging which I imagine she earned a bit from.

Their life seemed totally idyllic but it just shows that you don’t know what’s been going on behind closed doors.

He was a director of a graphic design company for ages then left suddenly. I wonder if it was under a cloud….

She presents herself cleverly - she still comes across as very affluent and managed to maintain relationships with high status brands. The dress she advertised a few days ago was nearly £200. I admired her honesty re single parenthood though - she said she has it easier than a lot of people due to family support, living in the countryside in a very affluent area etc etc.

Eurgh I can't stand tania. The epitome of white privilege.

I'm still not convinced there is family money. I think she's just very selective about what she shows, plus I got the impression her landlord took pity on them. I remember she was geared up to move and then suddenly didn't and said it was thanks to owner who she will be forever grateful too. Which I can understand given her ex walked out on them, two little kids.

agree about Tania, I find her so smug and irritating, does she have a thread here? I remember once ages ago watching a "whats in my fridge" type video, for someone who goes on and on about the environment it was just FULL of plastic. Does she have a thread here?

 

[kneedeepsnow]

Ooooooooooooooohhh!!!!!

 

[emm]

I can do it, which section should I put it in? (I assume not rave about )

 

[AfroCircus]

They met through blogging, I'm pretty sure. Tania doesn't talk about it but her start was working as an assistant to the decidedly unvegan Rosie Londoner.

Tania only recently became a 'health coach' aka paid for a qualification online.

 

[emm]

Is anyone able to create a thread for taniajoyfjane? I think I’m too new to have the ability to set one up. She is driving me crazy with all the smugness and whinging…”solo parenting” when her husband is away for work

I can do it!

She just posted that amongst many things she contacted a Domestic Abuse charity when she became a single parent........

Did she actually? I couldn’t decide if she was saying she’d used or if it is a good resource for some single parents.
