Parenting vlogger Louise Pentland posts rare picture of ‘good egg’ partner

Amy Nolan

The YouTuber and best-selling author took to Instagram to thank her partner for his support.

Louise Pentland, also known as “Sprinkle of Glitter”, has uploaded a rare picture of her new partner, thanking him for helping her manage the difficulties of travelling with young children.

The popular YouTuber recently took a trip to Disney World with her two kids and partner, Liam. Louise has two daughters, Darcy (7) who she had with ex-husband, Matt Watson and baby Pearl, who she had with Liam.

As I’m sure many parents will sympathise with, travelling with children can come with its challenges, but luckily Louise had plenty of help managing.

This man please. Total slush alert. We can talk about how magical Disney is all day (I literally could) but it’s worth noting that with kids, it’s also hard work. You’re dealing with jet lag, hot weather, lots of stimulation, new foods, new routines and a tonne of walking. Liam for sure is my holiday hero ??. He’s lugged bags, buggies, babies, he’s changed far more code brown nappies than me (heh heh), he’s been the voice of calm when everyone’s het up and even when he sits down for three seconds to take a moment, he’s full of kiddos. He’s a very good egg. My favourite egg actually. I mean, the man got onboard when I suggested a family toy story dress up, ahaha! Fatherhood suits him right? Slush over, please go about your business as normal. #IWillTryToKeepHim #IdTagHimButTheWeirdoDoesntDoSocialMedia

Liam got stuck in and “lugged bags, buggies, babies” and even dealt with plenty of “code brown nappies”. The hilarious mum of two got unusually personal with her followers and gushed:

“He’s a very good egg. My favourite egg actually. I mean, the man got onboard when I suggested a family toy story dress up, ahaha! Fatherhood suits him right? Slush over, please go about your business as normal.”

Since her divorce in 2015 from her husband of five years, Louise is typically quite private about her family life, sharing less of daughter Darcy online and rarely featuring Liam in her vlogs, so the post came as a surprise to many.

We’re these parents and we’re very ok with it ???

Louise’s family life and experience of motherhood were the inspiration behind her fictional novels, Wilde Like Me and Wilde About The Girl.

We’re so glad Louise has a happy family life at the moment. She seems like a “good egg” herself.
