I liked him at first but I think he's taking advantage of her vulnerability and using it to his advantage.
I was looking at her instagram photo this evening and she looks completely different in a photo when someone else takes it - and I wonder how someone who she claims loves her so much isn't doing anything at all to try and help her build her self-esteem and become happy with who she is.
I noticed a while ago they both posted a photo on instagram, hers was captioned about love and being with someone who you love blah blah, his said something like this person makes me happy and makes me pose like this. The distance between the sentiments of the two posts was sad

He seems very slimey and instead of advising her to protect her business he advises her to ignore her followers.... He's not ignoring his though!

Her Instagram tonight is so clearly photoshopped it doesn't even look like her. There's comments below saying her make up is gorgeous etc. It's clearly not her actual make up, it's fake. It's a wonder how people can't cop this. If you zoom in you can clearly see a black bit on her lip/teeth that shouldn't be there

I cringed so much at the boomerang of her bf grabbing her boobs.

We get it, you've a boyfriend, you're having sex. You're a 30 something-year-old woman, that's not something unique.

She reminds me of Gail the Snail in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when her mom says "You're 33 years old; you're supposed to be sexually active."

Is this her first boyfriend? :nosey:

No this is her 3rd that she's put on social media in the last 3 years (As long as I've been following). There may have been more.

Definitely not her first despite the way she is carrying on. Sure remember she was dating that Dr. Brian Higgins in 2015 and spending every spare minute in Galway with him? Remember the Mam was commenting under his social media posts? All sounds very similar to what's going on now

No, she was with some doctor guy about 2 or 3 years ago, I remember she went to the Galway races with him. I remember her also plastering him all over her social media then as well, and it was extremely obvious when they broke up. I don't think they were together that long though, not more than a few months anyway.

She was also apparently in a very long term relationship when she was younger which ended in heartbreak, but whenever people asked her about it she used to refer them to her book. I haven't read her book so I don't know anything about that one.

Omg really. I don't think I followed her back then. I only dip in and out of her content if I'm honest. I honestly thought this was her first by the way she's going on.

It got very messy with her mum getting involved that time if I remember correctly.

He put up a post which I'm sure was about her after they broke up. Something like 'she was a beauty like fire, only to be observed from a distance' or something like that!

Thought it was a bit harsh in fairness. It seemed like he was using her as well.

ratmouse

She seemed to be with the Doc in Summer 2015. On her website/ blog in Jan 2015 she wrote a review about The Orchard Salon and Spa in Hotel Kilkenny and mentioned her boyfriend James getting a massage.

Lindy97

Not an avid follower of her but all I can say is, her smile never really reaches her eyes. I know they all pose a certain way as they don't want lines etc but her smiles always seem completely ungenuine

Yes I remember this. She was doing the same as she is now with featuring him on her content back then. I think he was majorly into fitness as well and she was trying to get followers to like his social media as well if I recall correctly.
Then she got really cranky when people were asking if they broke up when she stopped featuring him and said she had learned her lesson about featuring a personal relationship online and she would be more private in future...clearly that's gone out the window since body by control has come on the scene. God the two of em are as bad as each other honest to jaysus. It's like she has nothing to blog about only what she gets up to with him.

That's it exactly. It's not just a case of her featuring him on her blog, her blog is now all about him and their relationship. Other bloggers with partners don't carry on like that. What is her issue?

The new fella has become her entire life. Even when she isnt with him, she's telling everyone where he is. Who cares like?? I feel like she has an unhealthy obsession with him, and her mother should have a word with her... Unlikely that she will tho, her mum is all over the 2 of them on Insta. Does MUF have any friends? Not being rude, I just havent ever seen her really share anything, which is weird as the BF is shared 24/7. She strikes me as being a bit of a loner.

Sue always seems to have the same gang of friends appearing on her social media. Fairy rarely seems to have the same friends on social media. I never get a sense of their being any long lasting friendships like Sue seems to have. It's all about him and not much else.

To be honest, Brian Higgins was cast from the same mould as Paul. He got a lot of followers off the back of Joanne and turned himself into a bit of a social media presence himself. (He is still cringeworthy.)

I wish she'd meet someone who has zero interest in being any form of media celebrity, doesn't want followers and is a private person. That probably wouldn't suit her but at least then she'd know he genuinely was into her, and not any of the trappings.

Her mum encourages the level of social media involvement of her boyfriends too, I feel. Her mum babies her massively. She's 30 and she put up a post over the weekend that Joanne was a Disney princess in Disneyland.

She was really good friends with two girls, Maeve and Doireann and went on hols with them last year. Doireann features the odd time but Maeve and her obviously had a big falling out. They were inseparable and now nothing.

They weren't allowed feature her on any of their candid snaps on the holiday and I accidentally screenshot a non edited video of Joanne on Doireann's SC and got interrogated by Doireann. "Why did you screenshot that? Why is it of interest to you?" etc etc. It was ridiculous carry on.

That sounds exhausting. I'd find it very hard to keep up a friendship with someone who was so self involved and uptight.

That Doireann girl is absolutely painful. So knowledgeable and really knows her stuff but she just drones on and on and on like a monologue. Of her content, about 2% is entertaining/interesting/educational and rest is pure waffle.

I like Meave, big fan. She seems really genuine and sincere and doesn't take the whole thing so seriously. She's major body inspiration for me because her look is very real and attainable.
She posted on Galz Who Snap recently enough so she must see the stuff that was said about MUF on it. Would love to know what the fall out was about.

blairbear

Also, Doireann was originally a "fan" of hers who came to a fan meet and greet night out in Galway. She was enamoured with Joanne. Maeve seems like a nice, normal, fun girl.

If I was Pippas sister I'd be annoyed that she turned up to my child's birthday party wearing a £600 dress. Yes Six hundred pound....... seriously like.

It was a christening as well as a birthday. I thought she looked very appropriate.

retro:electro

I don't think it was her sister's kid? Her sister has two boys.
I thought she looked lovely as well. I doubt the had the tag hanging off like for everyone to gawk at the price!

dress was lovely don't get me wrong. But 600 pounds? I wouldn't spend that on a dress for my own child's christening / birthday.

In my opinion it it was way too OTT to wear a dress that expensive. oh and she had affiliate links to it up soon enough after.

I think there was also a Christening and I think Pippa was going to be Godmother. It's up to herself how much she spends on a dress, I thought the dress was lovely and appropriate although waaaay out of my price range!

I'm fking SIIIIIIIIIICK of seeing FBG's daughter now.
I know, I know "unfollow her if she annoys you" but anyway....there is too much Sienna!
Does Grace not think "Ah here, it's probably a bit overkill now?".
I don't want to see your baby anymore!! Show us MAKEUP! You're a MUA!!

blairbear

I guess some people are more comfortable dropping that much on a dress. My ex and I got paid similarly. He thought it was scandalous that I bought a pair of Louboutins whereas I never would have spent what he did on going to a couple of festivals over the summer.

A nice, high quality dress gives me so much pleasure. If I get one I love, it makes me feel happy knowing I even have it in my wardrobe. I love that Pippa doesn't exclusively adorn herself in rags, like Sue and Joanne. They spend 1000s on accessories (and fair play to them; that's what they like!) but wear cheaper clothes. As a dress aficionado, I love seeing higher end fashion on Irish bloggers.

FBG has no content anymore she barely does anything .. most of the others have gone on to have their own products ect and only little name brands want to work with her
All she has is endless snaps of that child she is so boring to watch ...

Cria

FBG had 31 snaps up of her child today then a few of someone else's and the rest was food how boring (I only went on
To look after reading a comment about her so no need for the unfollow her comments )

True that. Her kid is just not interesting. At least just Jordan does things with her little one and shows her outfits.

Can someone PM or post Maeve or Doireann's snapchats or fb's?

StripedBoxers

Who are Maeve and Doireann?

Haven't followed FBG in ages, couldn't continue on following her when there is no interesting content and I dislike her.

Has she said anymore about her rebrand?

SusieBlue

Doireann is 'dwyldechild' and Maeve is 'prettyp_mua' on snapchat.

Doireann is Fairys friend. She featured on Fairys Ibiza holiday last year and is on Insta as dwylde child. Not sure of Maeves handle but it's not Maeve Madden. That's a different person.

Maeve is prettyprincess_fitness on instagram. (I know. Cringe.)

Or the singsongy 'Gooood morning everybody!"
It is not cute. It's annoying

heyjude88

FBG is a disaster at the moment. She went on last night saying she was going to loose 2 stone before christmas. She then went for a shop and showed off pringels and cookies. Then today saying she was going to drink black coffee all week.

I wish she would show more of her cooking dinners with her mum like she used to. I felt she was so motivated and on track, but now there seems to be little from her mum and sister.

31 feckin Snaps? I mean c'mon.

I don't have kids myself but I KNOW how proud Mams and Dads are of their little ones and they want to show them off but even parents must realise too much is TOO MUCH.

I would seriously be thinking of how much I'd showed of my child, especially on a platform like Snapchat but Grace doesn't seem to care what her followers want or think. Especially with her Snaps closed.

By the way, what is the reason for her constantly switching them on and off?

You're right, Cria, she does absolutely nothing nowadays.
It seems being a mother defines her.

And I'm sorry but I really don't care about your gym sessions either, especially when it's clear you're advertising that trainer.

Does she still even go to him?

Grace doesnt care because she has 1000s of lemmings who'll tell her not to mind the haters and how much they love seeing Sienna. I personally hate how much she puts online about that child. Its not bloody safe for one thing. Strangers know way too much about her and she as a child has no say.

As a blogger/influencer she's got zero motivation, and she will be overtaken by other bloggers if shes not careful. Even the freebies will dry up if she doesnt step up her game and they seem to be all she cares about.
She never sticks to anything. Its ridiculous. She has it easier than most mums i know both working and stay at home yet she moans constantly. How is that relatable??

You have a point about the possible security issues. From some of her past Snaps with her out walking, I know exactly what road she lives on.
We all know her full name, fella's name, baby's name & date of birth, what baby looks like, Grace's Mam, her sister's name, her neice's name, Mags' wife's name, where Mags works etc....this is all a bit too much for strangers to know, no?

Her Snaps contain nothing of interest anymore. Even when she mentions she has makeup to do, you rarely see her handiwork. Surely if you're a MUA you would want people to see what you're capable of? Rather than showing us 31 Snaps of your child pulling nappy sacks out of the box?

greensheep777

Would FBG even have a career anymore if she hadn't had Sienna?
Her MUA skills seem very basic, she does the same 1 or 2 looks all the time.

As someone who is terrified of pregnancy and has never wanted children, there's no chance of her snaps changing my mind anyway - she makes it look incredibly boring.

I don't think she realises no one unless your the parents wants to see that much of kids seriously she's gone so lazy on Snapchat it's like even when she has nothing to snap she manages to snap for a whole 12 hours
If she's not advertising she's showing the child doing what every other child does at that age
She's best off only snapping when she has interesting content
Every single morning she says the exact same thing gooood morning everyone ...yawn

I wonder what she'd Snap about if she didn't have a child. And yeah she is making motherhood look very dull but not only is she leading a boring life, she's bound to be boring her followers.
