Louise Thompson is currently on a family holiday in Greece with her fiancé Ryan Libbey and their son Leo. The former star of "Made In Chelsea" shared photos of their trip, which included a seafood lunch at Mikro Nisi Restaurant and family time by the sea.
Thompson, 36, and Libbey have decided to "press pause" on their podcast, "He Said, She Said." The couple launched the show in October 2024, using it to discuss their relationship, mental health, fertility journey, and parenthood. They stated the hiatus is to allow them to focus on their son, who starts school in September, and to concentrate on their personal lives and other commitments.
"We're really in an exciting spot with it now, moving quite quickly," Thompson said in a recent podcast episode, referring to their fertility journey. "So we're actually going to be pressing pause on the podcast for a little while as we step into what feels like maybe a new chapter in our lives."
The podcast faced criticism earlier this year after Thompson and Libbey appeared to "mock" children who are still in nappies upon starting school. They discussed a statistic indicating a significant percentage of children enter reception class without being fully potty trained, with Thompson commenting that "a basic human right is to teach your child before the age of four how to use the loo and how to wipe their bum." Libbey added that it was a "raw deal" for teachers. Their comments drew backlash from parents and advocates for children with special educational needs, who pointed out that such developmental delays can be complex and require understanding, not ridicule. Following the criticism, a clip of the discussion was removed from the podcast's Instagram account.
Fans have shared supportive messages on social media, wishing the couple well on their next chapter and expressing gratitude for their honesty on the podcast.
