Charlotte Crosby: 'Jake and I are going through tough times'

Charlotte Crosby opens up about the challenges of balancing work and raising two young daughters, Alba, three, and Pixi, nine months, with her fiancé Jake Ankers. Since gaining fame on Geordie Shore in 2011, Charlotte’s priorities have shifted toward her family life.

She shares candidly with Closer how the transition to parenting two children has been overwhelming.

“I honestly don’t even have the words. One child was so easy and then two children is just like… I don’t know if there are even words in the dictionary to describe the absolute chaos. And the exhaustion of two children – it’s excruciating. It’s getting a bit easier now Pixi’s a little older. She’s only nine months, but from day one it’s been a lot.”

Charlotte, 35, and Jake have been a couple since late 2021. The entrepreneur proposed during a holiday in Dubai in 2023.

In April, while in Australia for work, Charlotte posted to her 8.6 million Instagram followers:

“OK, can we take a minute to appreciate Jake. He flew the whole way around the world to surprise us in Australia. Tonight, after weeks of broken time together, we are having a well-deserved bit of quality time. Relationships aren’t always easy.”
