Milly Davies and Louis Morgan, a couple who gained millions of followers on platforms like TikTok and YouTube for their extensive renovation of a seven-bedroom Victorian home, have announced their separation. Davies, 28, confirmed the breakup in a video posted to their YouTube channel, Belgrave Villa, stating she will be buying the house. The property, a former bishop's residence in Swansea, has been the subject of their renovation project for the past 18 months.
Morgan, 29, who is the sole owner of the house according to Land Registry records, was reportedly traveling in Australia with friends during the period he was absent from recent renovation videos. Davies explained that determining who would keep the house involved extensive meetings with mortgage advisers and accountants. A subsequent segment in their breakup video showed Morgan's return to the property to see the work completed in his absence, before the focus shifted to his next project: a semi-derelict art gallery nearby.
The couple's online journey documented their efforts to restore the sprawling property, which they acquired in March 2024 for £410,000, a significant reduction from its previous asking price of £700,000 a year prior. Land Registry records indicate that Davies did not hold ownership of the house, which solely belongs to Morgan. Morgan's father is a prominent property magnate and hotelier in Swansea, with interests including a four-star hotel and a stake in Swansea City FC. Louis Morgan himself is listed as a director in over a dozen companies, often alongside his father.
Davies also comes from a financially well-off background, with her father managing the real estate portfolio for a Dubai-based interior fit-out company and her mother holding an HR director position. The couple leveraged their online presence by partnering with various firms for tools, furnishings, and workwear, a strategy that helped mitigate costs.
Despite the appearance of significant DIY efforts in their online content, the scale of the renovation suggested substantial professional involvement. The couple's project attracted media attention, including from publications like Newsweek, for discoveries made during the renovation, such as a World War II helmet insert and historical newspaper articles. The Victorian house, built in the 1800s, has previously served as a doctor's surgery and a bishop's residence before being purchased by the couple from the Catholic Church.
