RVK_Loves Wiki

Rebecca Violet Sterling {née Kedgley} born 28th March 1993, is a British wannabe *delete as appropriate:- travel & interior blogger/gardener/foodie/events coordinator/mama who hails from the London commuter belt of Kings Langley, Hertfordshire. RVK_loves has bought built herself a steady following on Instagram and on here thanks to her penchant for undeclared #affs/ads/gifts/trips, chronic boasting oversharing of her private life, aggressively blocking anyone who dares question her. And her complete ignorance and self-centred attitude to life, in particular most recently with her constant flouting of the coronavirus pandemic rules.

Early Life:-
Rebecca is the eldest daughter of self made millionaire property developer & investor Robert and Joanna Kedgley, she has a younger brother George. After completing her A-levels, she pointlessly studied Law {Jurisprudence, Legal Philosophy, and Legal positivism} at the London school of Economics and Political Science. She met her future husband Ben, on a Year 8 school trip to Wales {10th May 2006}. When she was just barely 13 and he was a couple of months shy of 24. Their relationship became an 'official' thing when she turned the grand old age of 15 and they eventually they got engaged in 2012. Her eating disorders, seems to coincide with her meeting Ben.



Personal Life:-
Rebecca married Benjamin David Sterling {born 25th August 1982} on 3rd July 2014 at Notley Abbey, Buckinghamshire. Their first child, Freya was born in July 2019 and most recently, Rafferty joined them in July 2021.

Social Media:-
TWITTER
Her vile Twitter account was deleted early 2019, after being outed on tattle for some of the questionable remarks she posted. Some screenshots of her tweets do exist in all their ugly glory, in the previously deleted tweets links section further down this page. This is a small taster of what she was posting:-

BLOGGER
On the 18th August 2014, Rebecca became a blogger with her first post below on 'Rolltops & Roses' which introduced us to her dystopian life with her now groomer husband, Ben. We got to know exactly what she loves in life... photographing EVERYTHING, plagiarizing interiors, sludge food & green smoothies, flowers, and travelling to the sames places over & over again.



*Fun fact:- Clever Ben came up with the 'Rolltops & Roses" name

Rebecca's explanation about her eating disorders

I started running when I was around 13 and throughout my teens used to attend some tennis circuit sessions/PT sessions. At the time, I had an eating disorder so it was part of that control.

I did, for a few years suffer from anorexia which then led to bulimia. I was stick thin and not healthy. Since then, I've been a healthy size 8/10 {sometimes still a 6, thanks Next and Boden for making your clothes so big} for the past five years or so, I still fit into the same size clothes as I did when I was 16/17! Bonus! This is partly down to the running but a big part of it is diet I think. And let me stress that I do not diet. I believe that every woman has certain food rules that they follow, right? But I actually eat a hell of a lot, I think from being so active that I'm always hungry. Although Ben eats about twice what I do in a day and never puts on any weight!! While I try and eat super healthily 90% of the time, I do have a huge sweet tooth!

Extract from their 2012 fucked up engagement story... if you do the maths, that means Rebecca was 15 when they talked about getting married

We kind of did things in a back to front way in that we booked the venue, photographer, even the florist without being properly engaged. We had been together for about four years when we started discussing when to get married.

Extract from the controversial blog post that she removed when people realised not all was what it seemed...

I'm a great believer of fate, and a real campaigner for everybody to find true love. You see, I really love love. I want relationships to work if they're right for those two people. For everybody to get their fairytale come true, whatever form that may take. We see a guy in our village, he's on his own and probably in his late 30s?, who takes himself to the coffee shop every Saturday morning on his own for breakfast with his book, and I say to my husband 'I really hope he one day meets somebody else in there on their own, what a movie plot that would be'. I think it was probably my obsession with Beauty & the Beast as a 5 year old that started me off. All those Disney princess movies with a fairytale ending, the championing of Rom-Coms where the couple have a battle against all odds but then come good in the end. And I guess you could say that about my husband and I. We have a bit of an unconventional beginning. One that we have to pause and think about the answer when people ask that inevitable question 'so how did you meet'? Because Ben is ten years older than I am and we met when I was in school {on a school trip to Wales}.

Was it love at first sight? Hmm, I don't think I necessarily believe in that {is love ever based on physical attraction alone?!}. But there was this unexplained connection from the start when we were brought together and started talking. We just got each other. I may have been in school but I think everybody knew I was always way beyond my years so age didn't really seem like an issue to us at all. It was most definitely an issue for wider society at first and I think on paper if you hear that in essence a teen and a 25 year old are together then you tend to automatically judge? For this reason, to keep everybody happy we decided to wait for about eighteen months to be together properly. It was really tough at the time but in the grand scheme of things when we look back it was nothing at all.

INSTAGRAM
She's been active on Instagram since 2011, curating the account from a boring blurry poorly lit photos of day trips, holidaying, food, the dog, heart fingers blah blah to monthly groundhog day 'You've got this mama' seasonally coloured themed grids of day trips, holidaying, food, standing in-front of colourful painted houses/doors and dragging the kids out at crack of dawn.
