A lot of the stuff posted on this thread in the past day, bang on the money . Spot on to the person who said she made Joey come across as Prince Charming to us all. And the point picked up how when first together live was fast paced . So no ‘real’ time together . The mundane stuff in life what we all have.

That’s her problem she projects everything as perfect . Rubbing everyone’s noses in it.
When it’s clearly not , all for image and keeping up appearances.

I hope she can be more honest now and stop with the fake perfect life .

I saw quite few people mentioning how they always felt rubbish after watching her perfect life videos . Now we all know it’s a sham.
I saw a good quote to always remember when you feel like this

‘never judge your movie , on someone else’s movie trailer’

I was just coming here to add to the voices saying how rubbish her 'perfect' life made them feel. It's making me struggle to have much sympathy for her, but I hope now she lets down some of her pride and is more honest, both to her viewers and to herself. I think we'd then warm to her more, and she'd be healthier and happier (and not a superficial happiness but a genuine happiness).
 
I think if you don’t take on enough fuel when you exercise you’ll end up burning muscle instead of fat, which is probably why Niomi doesn’t have a lot of muscle. You’d think it’d be frustrating to her to put so much effort in and not see any difference. Also how is she not tired all the time? Maybe that’s another thing that got to Joe during lockdown? When he was only with her for short bursts it maybe felt ok to have someone keep him healthy then he could eat normally the rest of the time. But during lockdown only eating her portion sizes just left him hungry and tired. How do you have the energy to do 10k runs if you’re not eating properly? I mean speaking for myself I would just feel exhausted.

Agreed with this completely, though it wouldn't surprise me if she continued the perfect-life vibe.

To be honest, I am surprised that she admitted the experience was "traumatic", etc. -- I would've expected her to be more "oh, look at me! I'm great!" (I suppose she's doing a bit of both.)

She is tired all the time, she goes on about naps in some of her vlogs and wanting to have a rest after a day in the park due to being exhausted!

Yeah, so far this year I think the only thing she's 'admitted' to was that she didn't iron.

I thought that too but then I was thinking - even if his original intention behind that fridge Instagram story wasn’t Niomi related..I would think he would be smart enough to realise it could easily be perceived to be.. and wouldn’t want to look like a dick. But then for his birthday he posted a naked picture of his arse so who can tell!

Was that really him?? I thought it was a comedy meme.

Someone mentioned boxing, when it's safer i think boxing could be grear for her! Seriously, let yourself go and get some anger out niomi!

Joe was really handsome when thet started dating, like a Disney prince come to life. Not my usual type but i would never try to argue he wasn't a beautiful man, i think he would have been more beautiful than almost any girl he dated then!

The stress of loosing his job, quarantine and all the travel he did seem to have taken a toll on his appearance. Who knows, maybe it's age, maybe it's under eating too?

Niomi looked radiant in her vlogmas and engagement. Since then she's been looking ropey too. Obviously now post public dumping and freshly heartbroken it's understandable, but in her idealic, easy, breezy lockdown she looked bad (for her) too.

I've always found it surprising how, like the others above posted, Niomi exercises 24/7 and still has no definition whatsoever. Similarly, she preaches about healthy vegan eating all the time but yet her skin and her hair is lacklustre and dull. The difference in Joe's looks pre and post-Niomi is exhibit B. It doesn't make any sense to me. On paper, anyone on the Niomi Smart diet and exercise plan should be glowing like a beacon. So I don't really understand what's going on.
 
I could totally see her only putting forth her best side while dating (although, how exhausting!) because she made it clear she couldn’t believe her luck in snagging someone like Joe. But the engagement sure made her smug which leads me to believe she felt she had him in the bag for life, so she could let her guard down more. And lockdown only made it worse. Maybe she thought since families were involved and she leads a public life online that he would never dare to end things but he wow, he did. I still cannot believe it.

I really think this is spot on. I think that's why she's found this breakup so traumatic, she really never would have thought he'd end it now that they were engaged, and so publicly. Even her engagement post was "the beginning of forever". I think that's why she probably pushed harder with food and the flat, perhaps subconsciously, because she thought she was set for life with him.

YES.

Couldn't agree more with both of these posts -- just because you've been dating for a long time or engaged or married does not mean that your partner will put up with newfound tit you decide to throw at them forever, which is likely what Niomi thought (not that she'd ever admit her diet and lifestyle isn't ideal). Plus, isn't Joe 30? He has a lifetime ahead of him. Even if you're 60 and absolutely miserable with the person you're with there's still loads of time to break it off and find happiness. Life is short.
 
How long has Niomi been working on her skincare line? I find it surprising that she was working on such a big (presumably UK-based) project when she was going to be in India at the time.

I guess if the move only became official a year ago, she could have started the project prior to Joe’s job offer and knowing they were moving. Maybe her plan was to travel home for the launch and leading up to it.

This also reminds me of in their moving to India video when Niomi said they’d still be coming home for their summers and Joe was kind of like mmm yeah, maybe. To me, that was the first major sign that they weren’t on the same page or communicating properly

I don’t think it’s that out of the realm of possibility that freddie would be keenly aware suddenly dozens more people are checking his stories... plus there’s speculation the breakup might have been kicked off by a row over her landlord attitude toward him

it’s tragic thinking of the speed that spice rack went up and then was probably taken back down...

that last sentence absolutely took me tf out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😩😩😩
 
I wonder if she wasn’t as blind sided as we think? She doesn’t seem to be the most self aware person so I wonder if Joe has been voicing his concerns the last few months and she just assumed they would always be fine. Maybe she carried on wedding planning and telling everyone how perfect everything is before he just had enough. Maybe he asked for space so she left to her mum’s but STILL thought it was all fine until it wasn’t and here we are.

I’m a firm believer that those that are truly happy don’t need to tell everyone how happy they are / in love they are incessantly. Maybe she feels like she was blindsided (and either way I feel for her) but really the signs were there for everyone but her. I really need to use my lunch breaks more productively!

She's definitely the type to just live in her own little world thinking everything will be all sunshine and roses no matter what. I couldn't see her facing problems head on and out right dealing with them so you could be right. Maybe Joe did voice his concerns but not enough, maybe they were both bad at communicating/facing problems in different ways!

Even we saw Joe's unhappiness, I'm not certain she did. I don't think she would've wanted to see any unhappiness and so brushed it off by the false sense of security in that green ring.

Off topic, but speaking from experience with an ED... that's why you run/exercise. So you don't think about hunger. Same goes to work, you just need something else to focus on :)


I'm also that type of person, who can not see her in Australia. But since she loves yoga, I could totally see her somewhere in Thailand, exploring the different places, discovering nature, enjoying the local produce...

I just hope that she will be OK after this, because of those IG stories.. ouch. Seems that she still has a really good friend group (out of youtube, which is refreshing to see!), and she was always close to her family, so there is that.
 
Wasn't she planning on moving to Australia a few months after her split from Marcus? Or at least was considering it but then I think she met Joe. I could see her running away somewhere even if it was just for a year or two. She seems quite good at being able to fit in anywhere and making connections, she was only in India a short time but was meeting up with people and putting herself out there so I don't think the moving away would phase her that much and she can probably afford to fly back 3-4 times a year to see family and friends.
