The Traitors’ Charlotte Chilton admits she’s struggled to pay her bills after ‘welcoming baby with Conor Maynard’ as she details the hardships of being a single mother
In an open discussion, Charlotte Chilton has shared her struggles with finances following the birth of her daughter, whom she claims is fathered by Conor Maynard.
As a committed admirer, I’m sharing an update: The star of “The Traitors,” aged 32, disclosed that the singer, also 32, hasn’t met their 10-week-old daughter yet. The heartbreaking revelation is that he disappeared (or ‘ghosted’) after learning about the pregnancy and has thus far refused to acknowledge baby Penelope as his own.
In June, she revealed that Conor was the father of their upcoming miracle child, conceived during a one-night stand. After enduring seven miscarriages while undergoing IVF with her former partner, this pregnancy came as a welcome surprise.
In a private conversation with TopMob, Charlotte shared both emotional and tangible consequences that have arisen following the event. She admitted that as a new mother, she has had to put in long hours of work merely to keep things afloat financially.
Charlotte, the founder of her own recruitment consultancy firm, shared that it can be tough financially as you work to get a new business off the ground.
In your initial year, you seldom receive a salary, and I’m attempting to do the same while caring for a newborn. Is it also part of your role to take care of a newborn and handle recruitment? Balancing these responsibilities can indeed be quite challenging.
Charlotte went on to say: “Penelope has all the essentials, make no mistake about it, she has stylish outfits, we’ve enrolled in baby massage classes, she’s learning how to swim – but this is only possible because I prioritize her needs above my own. I sacrifice for her to have these experiences.
If another person were to contribute, what additional support or resources might I offer to her? What more can I provide or do for her? Instead of being a mother who’s constantly working, I could be a present mom – someone who isn’t drained from working every hour and is exhausted because she’s trying to balance work and make ends meet.
Charlotte, having just returned to live with her parents, continued by saying, “Everyone from my circle of friends and relatives is stretching themselves thin to provide assistance for us.
Regarding my living situation, it has been quite challenging, whether it’s temporarily residing with my parents while saving for a house or having them cover certain expenses. In essence, it’s been a tough period for me financially.
My friends are looking after her for a day, allowing me to attend client meetings as I currently don’t have funds for childcare.
Charlotte has been open about Conor not participating much in their lives, expressing this particularly during her pregnancy announcement: “I won’t hide Penelope as if she’s some sort of secret, and I won’t stay quiet about it.
On Monday, Conor ended a month-long absence from social media, admitting that he had been dealing with an unspoken struggle with anxiety which led to his unexpected quietness.
The musician asked his Instagram audience for suggestions, as he pondered whether to use a recommended drug to ease his symptoms.
On the next day, it seemed like Charlotte was subtly criticizing Conor by posting a picture of a sertraline container on her social media, stating: ‘Still at 100mg after a year, holding up well.’
Under the brand name Zoloft, Sertraline is frequently recommended by healthcare professionals as an antidepressant medication, effective in managing not only depression but also anxiety disorders.
Regarding the effect his estrangement has had on her emotional well-being, Charlotte disclosed: ‘It left me feeling insignificant and required significant effort to rebuild my self-worth.’
As a lifestyle guide, I found myself being approached with project and brand collaborations, yet I lacked the motivation to fulfill these tasks. Unfortunately, this decision has resulted in financial losses. Additionally, I’ve been compelled to invest in therapy sessions, which have become an unexpected expense on my end.
I’ve felt as though he robbed me of my life, yet I’m in the process of rebuilding it, with a strong sense of purpose and direction. What I truly aspire to become is an advocate, standing up for women who face injustice and children who lack love and care.
On the second season of The Traitors, Charlotte rose to prominence, with the title ultimately going to Harry Clark. It was during the wrap party that Harry connected Charlotte with Conor for the first time.
Harry is currently dating Anna Maynard, Conor’s sister, and has been described as remaining neutral in their dispute.
However, Charlotte shared that after she announced her pregnancy, Harry suddenly ceased communicating with her and departed from the WhatsApp group they both belonged to within The Traitors’ cast.
I’m furious with Harry for leading me to that unsavory individual. Why on earth would you do such a thing?” I raged, but looking back, I’ve been blessed with the most beautiful child as a result.
Harry claimed the winnings of £95,150 following his clever deception, where he made his fellow competitors believe he was Loyal, while he secretly was Deceitful instead.
It’s a sum that would change Charlotte’s life.
In response to being asked about her plans if she won the prize, Charlotte pondered and said, “With Penelope now in my life, I’d consider purchasing a home, arranging for some vacations, and even taking her on trips around the world.
I’m planning to give my mom some money as a treat since she’s been amazing, and I definitely want to do something fun with my family. Additionally, I’ve decided I want a huge tattoo on my back!
In the following period, I chose to save everything else for a later, uncertain time, as last year at this point I was estranged from my partner; informed by physicians that we couldn’t conceive children; and on the verge of appearing in The Traitors, a show that took me by surprise with its massive popularity.
Currently, I find myself in a new phase of life, caring for a child I hadn’t anticipated, residing in an unfamiliar place, and pursuing entirely distinct professional endeavors. Indeed, under these circumstances, it’s crucial to save, as one can never predict what lies ahead.
