Binky Felstead Relocates to Connecticut for Husband's Career
The 'Made in Chelsea' star moves her family to the U.S. to support her husband's career and find specialized schooling for her daughter.
Reality television personality Binky Felstead has relocated to Connecticut with her family to support her husband Max Darnton's career. Felstead, known for her role in "Made in Chelsea," announced the permanent move to the United States last week.
The family, including Felstead, Darnton, their two sons Wolfie and Wilder, and Felstead's daughter India from a previous relationship, are settling into their new home. Felstead shared a glimpse of their living room on Instagram, showcasing new furniture and personal touches like artwork shipped from their London home.
Felstead explained the decision to move was influenced by multiple factors, including Darnton's increasing work commitments in New York and a desire to find a school that could offer specialized support for India's dyslexia. She noted the positive impact the new school has already had on India's confidence and learning.
"We also wanted to find somewhere that could give India the specialist support she needs with her dyslexia," Felstead stated in an Instagram post. "We were incredibly lucky to find an amazing school here for her, and already the difference has been quite something within a matter of weeks."
She described the move as "serendipitous" and highlighted the "buzz of positivity, motivation, ambition and drive" in the new environment, which she feels will be beneficial for the children's exposure to ambition and success.
The relocation also means the future of Felstead's spin-off show, "Beyond Chelsea," which follows her and co-stars Lucy Watson and Rosie Fortescue, is uncertain.
Felstead shared her family's excitement for the new chapter, emphasizing the opportunities for exploration and memory-making, while also noting plans for frequent travel back to the United Kingdom for family and work commitments. The family has also been reunited with their dog, Pedro, in their new home.
