Charlotte Dawson hits back at accusations she's 'milking' her third pregnancy amid fiancé Matthew Sarsfield's sexting scandal as she insists she 'can't win' and 'things are a lot harder than just walking away'

As a seasoned observer of human relationships, it’s heart-wrenching to witness the plight of Charlotte and Matthew. Their story is one that echoes the complexities and challenges that many couples face in their journey together.


In response to malicious comments from fans, Charlotte Dawson has defended herself against accusations of exploiting her pregnancy, given the ongoing sexting controversy surrounding her fiancé, Matthew Sarsfield.

The television personality, aged 31, has been in a relationship with a 32-year-old rugby player for eight years. However, she felt heartbroken and mortified when she found out last month that he had exchanged private messages containing intimate content with another woman.

However, mere weeks following the announcement, fans were taken aback when Charlotte unexpectedly disclosed that they are expecting their third child as a delightful surprise. Already, they have two boys – Noah, aged three, and Jude, who is one year old.

On Sunday, she posted on Instagram a sneak peek of her photo session with OK Magazine, where she was pictured with her two small sons and proudly displaying her growing pregnancy belly.

However, the influencer faced a barrage of harsh remarks on her post, with people criticizing her for exploiting her pregnancy and the controversy surrounding Matt’s sexting scandal. Some went as far as speculating that the entire situation was orchestrated for publicity purposes.

Charlotte chose to address her Instagram Stories, inviting those with critical views to kindly opt out if they prefer, rather than continue following her content.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but feel compelled to voice my thoughts on Matt’s actions following the revelation of his private messages. It seems like no matter what I do or don’t do, I’m met with criticism—either for staying silent or for speaking out. I wish there was a way I could have avoided this whole situation, but alas, it feels like I just can’t win.

In the lengthy post, she wrote: ‘A lovely picture I wanted to share of my boys & I… turned into a negative. I just want to address a few things, a stupid comment about me “milking this”. 

As I navigate through life, raising my third bundle of joy, I’ve experienced the pain of a broken heart and the humiliation that comes with being exposed publicly. Yet, amidst it all, I strive to keep my composure as best as I can.

Initially, I had planned to reveal my pregnancy to OK Magazine, but the circumstances turned out to be unlike anything I had anticipated.

In the photo shoot, I wished my partner and child could be part of it, but unfortunately, they couldn’t. This made me sad, and although I didn’t ask for this situation, it was something I had to discuss in the interview because it’s what’s going on in my real life at the moment.

Additionally, I’ve shared thoughts and feelings on my podcast as it provides a secure environment for me to express myself genuinely and openly.

The young woman shared her tale with the newspapers, thus making it accessible to both the press and social media. If she had kept it confidential, none of us would be aware of this event.

‘I can’t win I’d be getting slagged off if I wasn’t addressing it then I’m getting slagged off for addressing it. Another one saying I’m hiding Matthew away what do you all want?’

Moving forward, I find myself striving to maintain a sense of tranquility for the wellbeing of my yet-to-be born child and my two precious ones, acknowledging that this predicament is far from straightforward. Yet, I must confess, I am still undecided about the path I shall tread.

As a devoted admirer, let me echo your confusion, but with a twist: “I can’t grasp it… Believe me, this isn’t some clever publicity tactic I wish it was; instead, remember that my life is not as simple as strolling away. I’m juggling two precious little souls and preparing for a third arrival, making every step a challenge.”

I haven’t discussed a complete resolution yet, but instead, I’m focusing on dealing with each day as it comes while keeping myself and my family stress-free during this pregnancy and ensuring my boys are happy. The choice I make is personal to me and my family, not something for others to interfere with.

‘I appreciate it’s public so people will have negative comments and opinions but this is my Instagram & if you don’t like what you see on here then simple unfollow me I really won’t be offended. Go & slag me off elsewhere. 

Here’s my attempt at paraphrasing in the first person:

wrapping up with heartfelt gratitude for their kind words, she expressed: ‘I appreciate each and every one of your thoughtful comments, I adore you all. Remember, kindness goes a long way – even if you don’t always feel like it, be kind. It truly makes the world a better place. X’

In addition, she responded head-on to a remark left on her post that went like this: “For years, I’ve been your most devoted admirer and fan. Yet, I must say, the way things are going now, I can’t help but think you’re overdoing it, leaving me questioning if it’s all for show.”

Charlotte responded: “I had been keeping my pregnancy a secret, but unfortunately, Matthew found out before I could officially announce it.”

Since I’ve reached the 15-week mark, I’ve been aware of this for some time now and felt compelled to discuss it, even though I wasn’t particularly eager. Unfortunately, my fiancé and baby’s father were absent from these photos, which was a source of great pain for me.

“From here on, my actions are neither about you nor anyone else. Unfortunately, they’ve become public knowledge due to this girl selling the story to the press, so I have no choice but to address it. This isn’t how I wanted things to be. If you find this uncomfortable or if we no longer align, feel free to unfollow me – I won’t take it personally x.”

Following the public disclosure of the text messages, Matthew has returned to live with his parents, and the couple is contemplating seeking counseling as Matthew currently resides in the family home again, having joined the Swinton Lions rugby team.

When Charlotte disclosed her pregnancy to OK! Magazine, she confessed that Matthew had urged her to reconsider and try their relationship once more.

She explained she wants to do ‘what’s best for my kids’ but was still unsure about whether to give Matthew another chance, and admitted she hoped the new baby could ‘make him a better man.’ 

She expressed: “These past times have been chaotic… It’s been dreadful, grappling with sorrow, pain, and pregnancy all at once. Noah keeps asking about his father, and I don’t wish for a fractured family. I want to make the right decisions for my children.”

Matthew has expressed his intent to put all his effort into making this successful. However, I haven’t reached a conclusion about the future of our relationship as of now. He needs to make some changes.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can’t help but imagine the joy of welcoming a little girl into our family, and I believe this experience would be equally enriching for my partner, Matthew. I have high hopes that embracing fatherhood in a female-centric role will help him grow as an empathetic and compassionate man, although only time will truly tell.

However, as reported by The Sun, it appears that Charlotte has reconciled with her fiancé, as a source shared: “Charlotte has deeply missed Matt, and he’s been regularly returning to the house.”

‘She knows he has done wrong and she won’t forget it, but she’s pretty much forgiven him already.’

For the second time since announcing her pregnancy, Charlotte has asked her followers for kindness, disclosing that her first trimester was the most difficult period she has ever experienced.

Here’s one way of paraphrasing in a natural and easy-to-read first-person style:

For those who may face challenges, recall that I was navigating through these difficulties during my first trimester, a period that’s typically full of joy but turned out to be the hardest for me instead.

However, each newborn brings joy, and I feel incredibly fortunate at the moment. I’m making an effort to stay as composed as possible, focusing on caring for this little one.

She kindly asked her audience to refrain from expressing unfavorable opinions regarding her personal relationships, emphasizing that these choices are hers alone. She added, “It’s my life, not yours.”

She concluded: ‘Please be kind, if you have nothing nice to say please just don’t say it. Also whatever I decide to do has nothing to do with anyone else, it’s my life not yours. 

“Your guidance and encouragement are greatly valued, yet there are times when things become overly intrusive and unpleasant. Let’s keep it cordial, please.”

Last month, Charlotte opened up about the scandal on her podcast, My Naughty Corner, discussing the heart-wrenching instant when she discovered that Matt was exchanging explicit messages with another woman.

She expressed her confusion about him doing such a thing, stating that it infuriates her since he already has so much and yet seems unwilling to risk losing his family due to this issue.

In my daily life, I found myself strolling towards Matthew’s barber shop for our usual grooming session, when unexpectedly, my phone rang with a call from my manager. The conversation that followed was far from ordinary as he shattered my trust with the revelation of his deceit.

She exclaimed that everything around her seemed to shatter, leaving her utterly stunned. She felt a profound shock, pain, and disillusionment. It appears his relatives were equally taken aback by his actions.

Charlotte disclosed that Matthew knew the blonde lady through rugby since she used to be his teammate’s girlfriend. They had been communicating on Instagram, and according to her, ‘The messages aren’t pleasant, it was truly painful’.

For the last two years, she acknowledged that their relationship has faced tension, often due to her being overtired from taking care of their children and thus declining intimate moments. However, she emphasized that this strain should not be used as a justification for his inappropriate behavior.

She said: ‘We haven’t had a good relationship this past two years, but it’s no excuse. Children come in the middle of the relationship. It hasn’t been good for a while. It’s hard to get that intimate time that’s been a massive thing.’

Matthew then moved into his mum and dad’s house and was begging for Charlotte to take him back. 

She expressed: “He appears shattered, not a hint of his usual self. He seems genuinely distraught, which is fitting given the circumstances. His actions have harmed his family, and now it’s a question of whether I can pardon him and move on.”

As a devoted father, I find myself yearning for a reprieve from the cacophony that surrounds me. The din can’t continue unchecked, lest it seeps into Noah’s nursery life. His sweet inquiries about my return home echo in my ears like a heart-wrenching melody, “When is Daddy coming home?” Each note strikes a chord deep within me, tearing at my emotions and leaving me hollow. Yet, I strive to mend the damage every day with all my might.

Charlotte added: ‘The past couple of weeks have been very, very tough. It’s a massive shock because I never expected him to do this. I thought we were a little family unit.’ 

The television personality admitted that she was yet undecided about granting forgiveness to Matthew and potentially rekindling their romance again.

She expressed her feelings tearfully, saying, ‘It makes me feel as though he doesn’t care for me, and it torments me to ponder over it. Despite my ongoing affection for him, I’m unsure about the state of my emotions towards him.’
