Charlotte Crosby Opens Up About Family Life and Reality TV
Reality television star Charlotte Crosby, who gained fame on the hit show Geordie Shore in 2011, has spoken candidly about the challenges of family life with fiancé Jake Ankers. In an exclusive interview with Closer magazine, Crosby discusses how balancing work and raising two young daughters has affected her relationship.
Juggling Work and Family Life
Crosby admits that adjusting to having two children was more challenging than she anticipated. “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,” she said, referring to the unexpected level of stress and disarray brought about by a second child.
The reality star also touched on the exhaustion that comes with having two young daughters. “The exhaustion of two children – it’s excruciating,” Crosby shared. However, she noted some progress in managing their schedule as Pixi, her younger daughter, has grown older and become more independent.
Relationship Struggles
Crosby revealed that their relationship went through tough times during the pandemic and back-to-back pregnancies with their fiancé Jake. “We were going through a hard patch in our relationship,” she explained. “There was just so much pressure, being self-employed business owners and dealing with no maternity leave for two children.”
Despite these challenges, Crosby is committed to sharing the real side of motherhood on screen. “You’ve just got to get through it. There’s nothing in place – we’re just surviving every single day,” she admitted.
New Series and Future Plans
Crosby has a new series called Geordie Stories: Charlotte, Mam Of Two, which documents her life as a mother of two. The show premieres on November 19th exclusively on Paramount+. In the meantime, Crosby shared her family’s unique Christmas plans, which include flying to Dubai and the Maldives for the festive season.
Reflecting on her reality TV beginnings, Crosby expressed nostalgia for those early days while also embracing new opportunities. “It’s so nostalgic,” she said about returning to Geordie Shore. “Watching them all enter the house for the first time took me straight back to when I walked in.” Crosby is now hosting Aussie Shore, where her strong mothering instinct influences how she interacts with cast members.
In conclusion, Charlotte Crosby’s journey from reality TV star to a devoted mother of two highlights the challenges and rewards of balancing personal life with public exposure. As Crosby continues to navigate these dynamics, fans can look forward to more authentic glimpses into family life through her upcoming series and continued media appearances.
