Why Charlotte “needs to be single” after her latest split
She’s always been a hopeless romantic, saying earlier this year that she’d found The One in boyfriend
Liam Beaumont.
But it emerged that the couple’s relationship was over last week when Charlotte deleted all traces of Liam from her social media accounts and sources revealed he’d moved out of her Newcastle home, where he’d been living with her.
Addressing the split, Charlotte insisted the two parted ways on good terms, writing on Instagram, “Me and Liam shared some amazing memories together and the split was amicable. In the end, we just realised we were two very different people.”
PRESSURES
The Geordie Shore star, 31, began dating videographer Liam, 30, in February last year – just weeks after she split from boyfriend-of-two-years Joshua Ritchie.
The couple moved in together during lockdown, just a month into their relationship, and were so loved up that they were even discussing baby plans.
However, they reportedly called it quits because of the pressures of going back to normality – after enjoying lockdown life – got too much. Liam wrote on Instagram after the split, “Lockdown was a complete bubble for us both where we got on great, but as things are now changing, living in a part of the country, I was so far away from friends family etc – it wasn’t easy. I wish her all the best.”
This is yet another break-up for Charlotte, with the star having had many relationships play out in the public eye. While starring on Geordie Shore from 2011 to 2016, Charlotte’s on-off relationship with Gary
“Gaz” Beadle dominated storylines, with Charlotte often breaking down in tears on drunken nights out over
Gary’s inability to commit.
Their relationship finally ended in 2016 after she suffered an ectopic pregnancy while he was in Thailand at the time filming
Ex On The Beach.
TURBULENT
While Gaz is now a happy father of two with wife Emma McVey, Charlotte moved on with TV star Stephen Bear in 2017 – but the pair had a toxic relationship, breaking up multiple times during their year-long romance. They eventually split in 2018 amidst cheating allegations, for which Bear later apologised.
She began dating Love
Island star Joshua Ritchie two months later, and their twoyear relationship was just as turbulent. At one point, during one of the couple’s break-ups, Charlotte worried fans when she live-streamed herself sobbing on Instagram.
They split for good in early 2019, with Charlotte then meeting Liam through mutual friends in Dubai just weeks later.
And relationship expert Jo Barnett says that the short breaks between Charlotte’s long-term relationships may be the reason she keeps getting her heart broken, and advises the star spends some time as a single woman.
Jo says, “Going from one
serious relationship to the next is not advisable as, often, you haven’t taken the time to evaluate the problems in your last relationship or to mourn it. So it often happens that you make the same mistakes again, or try to use someone else to mask the heartache or sadness of the previous relationship. It’s very important to take the time to heal and think about what you want after the breakdown of a long-term partnership.
“I’d recommend that Charlotte spends at least six months single and thinks abut what she enjoys, what makes her happy, and what goals she wants to achieve. She needs to realise that she doesn’t need someone else to make her happy. When she finally feels that way, she can start thinking about what she wants from a partner and consider dating again.
“Ultimately, she should look after herself, her body and her mind and be clear what she wants and what she doesn’t want in order to have the best chance at long-term happiness and lasting love.”
