    I'd love to know where people are "hearing things" and just assume everything is a lie

    According to this he was 25 in 2013 so would be 29 now. I assume this is him. Sad Im that invested to Google

    [**deleted the link as its probably not allowed**

    But a bit of googling will get you there

    Iirc either his cake or the balloons had the number 29 on it.

    At the end of the day the age of her boyfriend or the age gap in the relationship doesn't matter or impact on the blog/social media.
    Edit: sorry didn't see mod warning

    Back on the topic of over-featuring friends and family, how many holidays does Sue bring her parents on a year?! She is very generous with them (whether she has to fund the trips herself or not!), but as a woman the same age as Sue, I can't imagine it.
    I would be driven scatty...and I get on well with my parents. Equally my mum would have no interest in tagging along with me either; she does her own thing.

    I got sick of the constant pushing of Carla Jackson's new fella in Sue's SC. The lad who plays the bongos. Sue's entire family is wrapped up in her social media presence.


  • Registered Users Posts: 697 ✭✭✭Cria


    He's definitely 29 there was billions of snaps and instagram posts about his birthday not too long ago


    *maybe it just felt like billions :D

    Lol he comes across much younger

    I'm the same age as Sue and I don't know anybody who brings their parents on holiday. There's a reason we move out! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 383 ✭✭Lindy97


    Bad enough her folks, but their Dzylan's inlaws. I dont know anyone that would relish going on holidays twice in a year with theirs :D

    His family are much quieter in comparison

    I'm the same age aswell. We notice a lot of people our age bringing their parents on holidays to help out with the kids and do a bit of babysitting at night. And also to have another adult to talk to apart from the husband/wife! :D


    We are considering going on holiday with my parents next year, not for child minding cos our child is old enough now to stay up late and is happy once he has wifi, But because we both get on well with my parents and I think we would all enjoy it. But trust me there were near killings with me and my mum before I moved out of home but we've mellowed in the 10 years since!

    The thing is Sue and Dylan have taken about 10 ish holidays or more this year, bringing her parents on a couple isn't going to be major. For most ordinary people, they take one, maybe two holidays a year and you aren't going to be likely to take your parents on these as it is precious time!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Siobhnk


    I'd love to afford one holiday, let alone 10 :D

    To be fair though, she doesn't over load her snaps with her parents or Dylan, so I don't pass any notice. If she can afford to do it let her off, it's her money. (Unless that villa is sponsored of course ;) )

    Go back to the Fantasy Sports Arena, or wherever you came from.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,227 ✭✭✭mel123


    Id have no problem bringing my parents away on holidays, id hazzard a guess most of them are free/sponsored, and even the ones that are not are of course going on her company expenses anyway, so why not share the wealth...because she is a very wealthy young woman!
    I more so guessed that the family are on the payroll (again, nothing wrong with that), but id imagine they all have jobs behind the scenes and are part of her empire too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 398 ✭✭SpillingTheTea


    I love my Mam and dad, but there's no way I'd go on holidays with them haha

    Sue's dad is a paramedic, as is her brother. I think she just treats them, which is to her credit obviously.

    Carla works for her.

    So after the wedding dress picture the other day, MakeUpFairy today referred to herself as Paul's "wife", saying she was being a good wife by making him breakfast.

    In the next snaps she said "people have been asking if we secretly got married, no we haven't I was just saying "wife" as in "wifey"".

    Personally, I think it was a hint. That's two in the same week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭Ray37


    If she thinks she's being subtle, she is having a laugh. She's gone totally overboard with her relationship sharing, she'd be the first to freak out if they split and people are asking about him....

    I have a feeling a split is coming soon, can you imagine the hints/straight-up demands off-camera?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭Ray37


    It seems very much that she is way more into him I think. She's pushing for marriage and it's not a good look. Like she is making it all so public. I'm absolutely not a fan of hers, but I can't help but think she needs a friend or family member to step in and tell her to button it.

    Sadly enough I watch ex on the beach (yeah secret shame) and they refer to girlfriend as wifed up.... I can imagine her being childish enough to pick up the early 20s lingo. :D

    And about 4 snaps later was 2 Disney babygros. Which would be weird enough ... But they hadn't even LEFT the house for Disneyworld yet!!
    They looked like screenshots from the Disney shop though I'm no expert on baby clothes.

    Imagine she was pregnant and that's why she isn't doing her fitness model shows anymore!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Is she not doing the training anymore? I unfollowed her a while back but last I heard she had some big comp in October or something


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,030 ✭✭✭njs030

    Isn't she doing it now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,227 ✭✭✭mel123


    No she decided to pull out. She went on about it that much I kept tapping through the snaps but long and short of her excuse was she couldn't dedicate that much to it, she wanted to give 100% and didn't have the time and didn't want to give any less. Then also she was mentioning about this one she follows who is her body goal as such, and doing the comp wouldn't give her that.
    That's more or less the jist of what I got but it doesn't surprise me. All along I felt like she was doing it to please him anyway. Now the cynic in me is thinking was it a way to generate more followers/business for him by talking about fitness so much.


    That voice she puts on even mimicking his accent irritates the life out of me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 249 ✭✭RoisinClare6


    Isn't she doing it now?

    She put it up on snap that she felt with how busy she was and how much travelling she was doing that she wasn't able to achieve where she wanted to be and that at the moment it'd not the body she wants kind of thing! It was a week or so ago so I can't remember fully what she said but the jist is she's not doing it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I'm glad she's not doing it as I feel you'd need to be very confident and mentally strong and not insecure about your body going into one of those competitions. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to her

    I thought the same, that her mental health seemed to suffering a bit an I'm sure that kind of thing can be very obsessive i.e the scales, calorie counting and things. Not good


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭Ray37


    To be honest, I always suspected she was never going to do it. Her figure is nice, but I don't think she was ever going to get herself into bikini comp shape in the time she'd given herself. I definitely feel like she was doing it to please the fella. She's changed a lot since he came on the scene, and seems to try to be whatever it is that he wants.

    I had a feeling she wasn't going to do it I felt it was a way for him to promote and do endless Snapchats on her platform to promote his business

    Ya I was also glad to hear she wasn't doing the comps I think she's had a great transformation with all of her hard work it would have been crazy to try and achieve the competition body. I used to follow her old trainer Jacqui but had to unfollow because every single day was her bawling crying with gratitude on snapchat and I was really not a fan of that extremely muscular look

    Same I'm glad she's not doing it. I went to school with a girl who went down that line, she shrunk down to nothing, social media was plastered in gym, progress pics, food, and motivational songs and quotes. It was all consuming, took over her whole life and I had to unfollow her even though she's a lovely girl deep down. Haven't seen her about in ages.


    Anyway, what DOES The Make Up Fairy do now? I stopped following her a while back, does she still blog or do anything beauty related now?
    Edit - I forgot she released the makeup brushes and liquid lippies


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,029 ✭✭✭SusieBlue


    They seem to have a very intense relationship for a couple who are only together at most 9 months. The first few months are meant to be fun and exciting and I don't doubt they've enjoyed themselves, but 3 holidays and moving countries is a huge amount of change in an extremely short space of time.
    I think she's putting herself under a lot of pressure for him to be "the one" and that's why she's seems so clingy.

    I would say there will be either a baby on the way or a ring on her finger by the end of the year. She seems desperately keen to settle down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,029 ✭✭✭SusieBlue


    Just saw MUFs insta story this morning, its a boomerang of Paul grabbing her boobs from behind.. Is nothing sacred any more?:confused:

    Why would anyone want to see that? I just don't get it, I don't understand why she posted it at all. Her caption was "Not the boomerang I was hoping for" ....... Well why post it then?!

    They constantly do gestures like that and make sexual references to each other and it actually makes me cringe. You'd wear they were 13 with the carry on out of them.

    Oh sweet baby Jesus. That is just...totally inappropriate. I met a 12 year old girl this week who loves her. It is concerning that her fanbase is so young. Her content contains so many references to her sex life. It's like when you're a teenager first scoring boys and you want everyone to know how grown up and desirable you are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 249 ✭✭RoisinClare6


    They were both showing of kids mikey mouse jackets on her insta stories, he had a black one and then next snap was her with a pink one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,029 ✭✭✭SusieBlue


    She's definitely hinting at being pregnant anyway, whether she's doing it just for the lols or whether she actually is, she's dropping massive hints.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭Ray37


    She's forever making sexual comments about them on snap, it's pretty sickening. We know you have a BF, we know you get the ride, stop talking about it!!! She's far too old for that kind of carry on.

    She's not pregnant when she's going on the roller coasters in disneyland...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,856 ✭✭✭ratmouse


    I can't even articulate how desperate she is coming across with him and her desire to have kids and get married. I don't recall Sue ever being like that with Dylan. In fact, it seemed like Sue was with Dylan a while before we even realised she had a boyfriend. Dylan has helped Sue to build her career. This lad seems to be getting MUF to build his career at the detriment of neglecting her own. It's pathetic


  • Registered Users Posts: 384 ✭✭blairbear


    I'm glad she's not doing that ridiculous bikini competition. She was getting very upset about her appearance and talking about constantly trawling instagram for fitness models and comparing herself to them. She said she wanted a breast lift next as she just wasn't happy with them any more. I have suffered from an eating disorder and I know too well how easy it can be to normalize unhealthy eating and persistently compare yourself unfavourably to others. She would say "Paul says, as my trainer, it's normal to feel like this" or "Paul is going to help me reach my goals etc". If I told a boyfriend I felt that crap, the only response that would help would be to hear him say he thought I was utterly gorgeous and perfect the way I was, not to focus on goals that involve losing more bloody weight!

    I don't think it's healthy to give a boyfriend that level of control over you. I KNOW it's his job but surely there are professional boundaries as a PT that are compromised by training your girlfriend or family members.

    She involves Paul HUGELY on her social media and I would hate to think that teenager girls and young women think that you have to move country/put your career on the backburner/change your physical appearance drastically to "keep a man".

    I know this is a bit personal and off topic, but my head is wrecked looking at their dynamic.

    I agree - I don't remember one day in the past few months where he wasn't in her snaps. What is she going to do if/when they break up? It's going to immediately be very obvious.

    Also agree about him being her trainer. I think he's just too close to her to take her on as a client. The same reason why you often hear to never let a family member teach you to drive - it's difficult, it's frustrating - for both people's sanity, have all your difficulties and frustrations with someone you don't have an emotional relationship with.

    She seems so happy watching today's snaps! I hope we are all wrong and that things work out they way she wants them to!
    Maybe in time when she realises she is in a good place she will relax and not put so much in th public eye! I think she is very hard on herself and tries to prove so much when really there is no need! If your that happy you don't need to show it of all the time! Feeling philosophical tonight!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I genuinely like her and liked him at the start too but feel he's not come across on the best light and am cringing for her because he doesn't seem that into her on camera at least. I mean she even has him wearing a tshirt reading "vpt" and took the time to explain that meant very personal trainer. I like her and I wish her all the happiness in the world but she shouldn't have to force anything


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 436 ✭✭Ray37


    I'm probably going to be unpopular saying this, but I think the reason she is so hard on herself is because she doesnt show the real her. She's nothing like her filtered and photoshopped images, I'd say she's exhausted pretending to be something she's not. I think she's desperately moulding herself into what she thinks he wants, and it's not a good look. I think maybe her hardcore fans dont see it, but I know a lot of people arent buying the 'perfecr relationship' thing....

    I couldn't agree more. Everything about her is so questionable because of the extent to which she photo shops that its hard to know what's real and what isn't. She is trying way to hard with him. We can all see it here ourselves and we can't all be wrong.

    I agree. I mean we can all see that he's just not that into her, and that's when he's on camera and probably trying not to make a show of her in front of her followers. She's very conspicuous in her absence on all of his social media, whereas he's front and centre on hers. And has been since as soon as they got together! She seems to be constantly trying to prove to herself and everyone else what a great couple they are.
