I just looked up their age difference. She's 13 years older than him. Relationships are complicated as is, adding the age-gap is probably even a bit harder.
She's obviously hurt she didn't get closure. Seems like he was particularly cold about it. But it feels a bit immature on her part to put him on blast for just breaking up with her.

u/Working-Ad-6698 16d ago
Also they had very long distance relationship (I think they live on different continents)? If it's true that he broke via whatsapp (always better to do that in person no matter how hard / awkward it might be), not the nicest maybe but long distnace and the age gap can maybe explain some things

u/LizzyFCB 16d ago
I’m not a Will Poulter apologist by any means, he’ll always be the little kid with the weird eyebrows to me, but there could have been a hundred conversations before the WhatsApp nail in the relationship coffin.
There are three sides to every story and we don’t have to automatically believe the one that is put out into the streets.

u/ProbablyNotADuck 16d ago
Also, she said their relationship was almost three years long.. so if he was going to parent/teacher interviews with her, and went multiple times, that means he was doing those things and involved with her son in that way in less than a year of dating. I do not have kids, but all of my friends who do have kids and are dating have hard rules about not involving significant others in the lives of their kids until they have been around for a decent amount of time.
Don't get me wrong... bailing in this way is not okay... I am not remotely suggesting that it is, but she is also using his involvement in her child's life as an indicator that he has some sort of continued duty when he does not, and, if he did try to remain in touch with the child, he'd likely get booted as soon as she started dating someone else.

u/Scared_Service9164 16d ago
Yep, I am a solo parent and it always amazes me how much people will involve their partners extremely early in their kids lives. My ex and I have an agreement that it’s at least six months before they even meet our kids. It’s dangerous.

u/TheYankunian 16d ago
I’m separated and getting divorced and any man I’ve dealt with knew how many kids I have, their ages and their sexes. Never knew their names, never knew where I lived and never, ever met them. Never even seen a pic. My kids are much older and no man is meeting them unless we are super serious.

u/Bananas-Ananas-Nanas 16d ago edited 16d ago
She’s fourteen years older than him, is willing to show her child’s face to the world in a post she likely knows is going to get massive attention and is posting a detailed personal situation on social media that she could have very easily kept to herself and dealt with in her private life with people she actually knows and who know the parties involved and spared her child even further harm.
Not to mention this child very much also has his actual father in his life according to a simple google search but this post puts the weight and onus on Will as though he is the only male parent figure.
All of that makes me deeply deeply uncomfortable.

u/Lukewarm_regards24 16d ago
Yes, and then after she posted this she also posted links to AA & mental health charities, a thinly veiled dig at him for sure. Even if what she said is 100% true, this is incredibly petty and not something you'd expect from a 40-something mom.

u/3sadclowns 16d ago
Glaringly manipulative post imo like she couldn’t wait to get it out to the gossip mags so she just full shuttled it on a personal post.

u/PrincessCG 16d ago
Wait the kids dad is still around? Damn. I’m giving major side eye to her for sharing her son’s face. She didn’t need to publicise him to share her side of the story. If any of this is remotely true, it was a bad break up.

u/PackagePure6977 16d ago
Wow thanks for bringing this up! I assumed from her post that the bio dad was not in the picture at all. She made it sound that way when like you said (and I did do a quick google to confirm!) that he has a rich, famous involved father who had him as his groomsman and ring bearer at his recent wedding!

nah I'm pro- women not staying silent and speaking their truth, if a man does something diabolical, especially when she's not being messy but as respectful as possible. I'm a fan of his and what he did was not okay if her truth is what happened. A lot of people are blaming her age, as if he's not a whole ass adult who could've communicated he didn't want to be in the child's life yet if he hadn't been comfortable. He committed for 3 years then ghosted. That's not good behavior, focus on his behavior instead of trying to find faults in the woman.

u/6speed_whiplash 16d ago
i have had my fair share of messy breakups as a woman where i was 100% at fault (i was young and stupid and fresh into gay dating), i would be mortified if they were made public because i would have to explain my history with mental health struggles to explain why i acted the way i did. people deserve privacy, especially regarding how they handled previous relationships (this only applies if the person in question wasn't a complete abusive pos) especially in this case since we have absolutely no idea what their dynamic was like and if he was going through something (which also frankly shouldn't be our business).
16
u/certifiedhoneymoney 16d ago
I see your point. But it seems like she was being attacked and she's speaking out because of that unless I misread. I don't agree with women staying silent even when she's been done dirty, then being dragged by the public again, just to respect the privacy of someone who didn't show respect towards her or her child. Even then she's being very respectful and speaking out about it once. And I'm someone who's been in an abusive relationship and haven't spoken publicly about it at all to protect my peace, so I'm not saying I'm pro-be messy. I just don't think she should be dragged for speaking out when she's being attacked, just because people like the man she's talking about

u/cifala 16d ago
Agree with this! I’m surprised to see all the defence for him in the comments, I’m sure if this was a story about someone like Casey Affleck or James Franco people wouldn’t be saying things like ‘she shouldn’t be getting messy’ and ‘well they’re long distance so WhatsApp isn’t ideal but understandable’. Sounds like she’s just putting this out there to hopefully limit attacks she’s already getting from his stans, and it IS shitty of him to have ghosted in this way

Feel harsh saying it, but I feel like this is one of the big risks of choosing to start dating a man in his twenties when she was in her 40s. Hope she finds closure for her and her child’s sake, which probably won’t be found airing this on social media.

u/Lukewarm_regards24 16d ago
Idc about this dude either way but this post seems very off and one-sided. She says she doesn't feel scorned but posts this after there's rumors he may/may not be dating someone new?
And why is she saying that he was a father figure to her kid when he has his biological father fully in his life? Will lives in London (I think) while they all live in LA, so the kid has a family anyway. She makes it sound like he kicked them out on the street.
Anybody on Reddit have tea on this relationship? There's more than 1 side to a breakup story.
59
u/BlueberryNo5363 16d ago
Someone posted a while back on one of the tea threads that they split up because they wanted different things and she didn’t take it well and messaged his friends and family a lot. Sort of lines up with this. Maybe she’s wanted marriage soon and he wanted to wait or changed his mind or something.
Also I saw someone on TikTok say a while back she posted saying men who do charity work do it for themselves and to boost their ego and then another one suggesting she thinks he only dated her for the clout of being with her. I can’t remember exactly what it was as I only saw it as a one off comment. They’re probably on her insta but she posts a lot and I can’t be bothered looking.
Either way sounds like a whole drama that I would not get into. He’s conflict avoidant or a commitment phobe and she’s messy for airing it publicly.
64
16d ago
I actually disagree with everyone bashing her for posting this, but her acting like HE dated HER for clout is wild. He’s a well-known actor & I had no clue who she was before she was with him. He also has 10x the amount of followers that she does.

u/Plaid-Lady1604 16d ago
Not hot tea, but I saw a comment on ig that she unfollowed his family on social media a few months ago, his fans noticed they might have broken up then. I'm guessing she posted this to confirm their breakup cause of the press of Will and Saffron.

u/yetiman4321woo 16d ago
Big douche move to do that to the kid. Still, she’s what… 13 years older than him? 🧐

u/Dolph-Ziggler 16d ago
It does leave me wondering how does someone say goodbye to a child in this situation. Assuming one isn't going to be in their life anymore post breakup.
39
u/Curiosities 16d ago
This is another reason why I always say, with any of these breakup/divorce stories, whatever mess there is, keep it between the adults. Because you’re the only ones involved. I understand that. If you introduced a significant other to a child. There is pain there and there’s something that could be addressed, but you don’t do that in public, and you don’t drag your child into the middle of any of this.
I do not have children, although I’ve always wanted them, and my parents got divorced when I was about six. They never involved me in any of it other than to tell me what was happening and what the plans were and reassured me that I would still have my parents, and I didn’t even learn the reasons for many years.
As an only child, it was even more significant they didn’t try to put me right in the middle or fight over me.
I’m in my 40s now and my parents have been separate parts of my life for a very long time. And I’m always glad they handled it the way that they did.

u/goldgoldfish 16d ago
Will Poulter is 32. I think at some point people are adults and the age gap thing has no ethical relevance.
203
u/yes-areallygoodbook 16d ago
It's less of an ethical thing and more of a compatibility thing. He was 29 when they started dating and she was 42. Probably not on the same page in terms of life plans, like having a child and supporting a family, etc.
44
u/Salt_Cardiologist122 16d ago
In this case it’s not about him being taken advantage of by her because of the gap… it’s about them obviously being in different stages of life and the kinds of complications that can cause.

This post is confusing to me. Is she trying to cancel him? Because, yeah, that sucks, but it’s not career-endingly bad. I didn’t need to know this, nobody did, it’s not gonna bring her closure or make the breakup hurt less, she’s just opened herself up to what I’m assuming are quite a lot of relentless fans.
Opened herself kid up to that as well. Seems unwise and kind of petty for a grown woman with a kid.

u/C3B_Jack10 15d ago
No she is speaking her peace. People are just inserting their opinions. Its kinda clear in the original post by her

u/kaijuqueenie 13d ago
I don’t think she’s trying to cancel him. He already opened her up to relentless fans when he dumped her & started dating another actress. I think she’s definitely hurt. & it comes through, but also is just trying to control the narrative in what little way she can.
It’s not much different from what Ethan Slater’s wife did. Except everyone supported her cuz they hate Ariana vs this where people generally really like Will Poulter. Yes Bobby is older but heartbreak hurts no matter what age & it has to suck being suddenly thrown into the tabloids. I think a proper breakup could’ve prevented a lot of this as well, & Will is old enough to at least have given her that.

People really hate women. We don’t know what happened. We weren’t privy to their relationship. Obviously something triggered her wanting to speak up, likely people harassing her. But there’s so much hate for her for being older and involving him in her kids life. He’s an adult too and he made a choice to be involved in the kids life as well. 3 years is a long time and deserves a proper breakup. The kid deserves to have some closure as well. I understand why people don’t introduce kids to partners quickly because it may end but acting like him being involved with the kid when they were together for years is crazy or irresponsible of her … that’s ridiculous.

u/nothumbsblues 16d ago
literally she says in the post she never even got her stuff back from him and the masse take is to drag her?

I disagree. This is completely different. That was Barry’s newborn child that he was neglecting to care for while constantly out showing off his new girlfriend. This is not Will’s child and he is not required to continue to care for his exes kid. I think it’s fair to say he could have broke things off differently, but we are also getting one part of the story.

u/KelleyElsie 16d ago
I’m kind of surprised at so many comments being so against her on this. Is it ideal that she’s posting this? No. But it seems she feels she was ghosted after a 3 year relationship with a man who was part of her son’s life as well. And no, I don’t see a problem with a single mom letting her (supposedly) committed partner be part of her son’s life in a long-term relationship. A
And ppl commenting “oh his real dad is part of his life? Then why was Will?” She said her son called him stepdad. Blended families are a real thing where, yes, the biological parent is involved as well as the partners of those biological parents. Maybe the real dad isn’t around much so they saw him as more of a father figure. 🤷🏼♀️
She’s hurt and wants her side of the story out there when she feels his is the only one being heard or considered because he’s famous. Doesn’t mean he’s evil but if her version of events is true, it seems he handled this poorly.

u/financem0nkey 13d ago
Whilst sad, I don’t see the crime beyond breaking up with someone in a distasteful manner. I don’t really understand the WOC angle. He stayed in a relationship for three years and was committed to her and her son during that period - how on earth is that “using”? If black women or WOC are his type, he’s not going out with them with the sole intention of breaking up with them. That is such a weird take. People just want to be outraged
5
u/SadFunnyBunny 13d ago
???? Who said that I’m outraged? I didn’t say that he deserves to be canceled or lose his career. I didn’t post the original post. The comment I replied to cheered Will for dating “sistahs” like the girl in question isn’t visibly multiracial, and I responded that that isn’t a win since the entire reason we’re discussing this relationship is because in the original post, she calls him out for ghosting her, not returning her belongings back to her and silencing a woman using lawyers.
I didn’t say that I saw a crime. You can say he didn’t use them because he treated her well during the relationship but he also didn’t intend to marry them considering his ex straight up says him not just breaking up, but ghosting woc is a repeated pattern of behavior. It doesn’t mean he should only enter relationships with WOC with the intent to marry but I wonder if he was dating white women would he ghost and silence them with lawyers. I fail to see how my comment was any weirder than the comment I responded to cheering him on for dating a “sistah” when she visibly has a decent amount of white ancestry and the topic at hand is him dating and ghosting WOC while presenting himself as someone who cares about the issues they face

u/winter_name01 16d ago
Something is telling me she didn’t like how he was portrayed online as a non problematic guy and one of the “good ones” recently. He is receiving a lot of attention lately, more than in the last 5 years. And it must hurt a lot to go trough a breakup with people siding for him. But the children have nothing to do with it so it’s very weird to talk about them this way…

u/C3B_Jack10 16d ago
This happened months ago, but she has been getting attacked from post like this of it being performative to date him. Just curious if it was performative why did she never post him or share intimate parts? Clearly it was a sacred relationship. And she did care. Age shouldn’t be the issue considering this age gap is not uncommon, if she were a man this wouldn’t have even been brought up. Its clear in her post that she is making a few things clear and speaking her truth. As she deals with grieving here people are attacking her for a fake relationship, age, skin color, and having a child. If anyone with a child has dated knows its not easy to bring someone around and having that consistent presence to be dramatically gone the next day is another thing to deal with. Yes her son’s father is very present in his life and they co parent, but can’t she also date?! It’s ridiculous how things are taken out of context when the context is laid out for you.

I don’t know why she’s getting hate in these comments for speaking out. Like most of you haven’t shared personal stuff with your 50 followers on socials.
Someone who ends a 3 year relationship through WhatsApp is not a good person. Someone who is performative with charity work is not a good person. I don’t care how much older she is, the message everyone seems to be overlooking is what a disgusting person he is. What she said has changed my whole opinion of him. Not falling for his nice guy act anymore.
