Charlotte Crosby on Family Life and Relationship Challenges

Charlotte Crosby shares the difficulties she and her fiancé, Jake Ankers, face while balancing work and parenting two young children. Since rising to fame on Geordie Shore in 2011, her priorities have shifted strongly toward her family life.

Adjusting to Parenthood with Two Kids

Charlotte, who is engaged to entrepreneur Jake Ankers, has traded club nights for night feeds with their daughters Alba, three, and Pixi, nine months. She describes the transition to having two children as overwhelmingly chaotic and exhausting.

“One child was so easy and then two children is just like… I don’t know if there are even words in the dictionary to describe the absolute chaos. And the exhaustion of two children – it’s excruciating. It’s getting a bit easier now Pixi’s a little older. She’s only nine months, but from day one it’s been a lot.”

Relationship and Support

While on a work trip in Australia, Charlotte posted to her 8.6 million Instagram followers:

“OK, can we take a minute to appreciate Jake. He flew the whole way around the world to surprise us in Australia. Tonight, after weeks of broken time together, we are having a well-deserved bit of quality time. Relationships aren’t always easy.”
