‘I met my wife on Tinder and became a stepmum - now we’re having our own baby’

Despite having a successful career in Toronto, Canadian Jennie Guay felt like her life was stagnant. She moved to London 10 years ago to broaden her horizons and landed a top six-figure salary job in finance and although worked long hours, kept up the work hard play hard mentality - with plenty of bottomless brunches and holidays with her friends.

She had always considered herself straight, but as she opened up to a new world in the capital, Jennie had a 'lightbulb moment' when she began dating women after switching her Tinder profile preference. She met her now-wife on the dating app and became a stepmum to her two children shortly after.

Fast-forward six years, Jennie, 36, is spending tens of thousands of pounds on becoming a biological mother. Now living in the Cheshire countryside, she has become a children's book author wanting to push narratives around blended and diverse families into the mainstream.
