When people ask me and my boyfriend Louis how we met, I take a deep breath and hope he takes the conversational wheel. While most couples might have a sweet meet-cute, our story isn’t quite so straight-forward. In fact, after a mutual friend introduced us in 2021 we fumbled the haphazard relationship that formed between us a thousand times over, breaking up and then circling straight back round again. In our early twenties we were both steadily reckless, somewhat selfish, and extraordinarily immature. But by age 29 it just worked. In March 2025, we finally became a proper couple.
So, it really was right person, wrong time – until it wasn’t.
