My boyfriend makes spicy content with other men but that doesn't make him gay – I'm not bothered, it's just work
A WOMAN has claimed her boyfriend who sleeps with men on camera isn't gay but is just doing it for the money. Terri and Ryan, from Cheshire, opened up about their unusual situation in a 2 Terri shared how boyfriend Ryan makes spicy content with other men 2 Ryan insists he isn't gay and just does it for the money The pair started out making X-rated content together, but now 'ex-con' Ryan stars in the scenes with other men, with Terri acting as director, camerawoman, and creative partner. They claim to have found the winning formula in the world of adult entertainment and say they are raking in between £2,000 to £6,000 each month. While some people would feel uncomfortable watching their partner having sex with other people, Terri insists it doesn't bother her. She also stresses that their videos don't mean Ryan is gay as it is 'just work.' More on relationships Terri added: 'I don't feel any certain way about it – it's just work for both of us. 'I do women content myself so I can understand what he is doing. Most of the time we work with people we know anyway.' Ryan states that he's only doing it for 'gay for pay' and he earns more cash than if he was sleeping with women. In fact, since he switched up to working with men, his subscribers have grown by over 1,000 people in eight months. Most read in Fabulous He shared: 'I'm a straight male making spicy content with men and that's my niche, some people like it and some people don't, that's fine they don't have to buy it. 'I'm not homophobic and I'm not taking advantage of anyone.' First Dates hosts its very first throuple in new series Terri added: 'When he was in prison , I was making content with other people in the industry and when I was talking to the lads about it they were saying they don't make much money from working with women. 'It's all from working with men, their audience is the LGBT community, mostly their fans are not straight so they don't like straight content.' Despite raking in the cash, they admit that some of their mates have been left scratching their heads at their arrangement. Ruan shared: 'Friends wise, the ones I'm still mates with don't want to hear about it, they are not interested. 'Every now and again someone will say 'I've seen you on TikTok', and I throw it back at them, 'why are you watching me?'.' He claims his family are 'alright' about his job, and said he says he is 'modelling' if anyone asks. In the YouTube episode, Terri's mum raises her own concerns, and asks her daughter if she is scared Ryan will leave her for a man. Terri replies saying their relationship is rock solid, no matter what people think. Ryan responded: 'I think everyone gets a form of jealousy, but obviously we don't do it for fun, it's for work. 'We maintain boundaries in our relationship by sticking to professional people.'

I broke up with my man for 2 months & he got another woman pregnant – but I'm thrilled to be a step-mum
A WOMAN has shared how she broke up with her man for two months, and he got another woman pregnant, so she is now going to be a step mum. Desiree Allen, who posts under @desallen98, uploaded a clip revealing their family's unusual set up, but insists her 'heart is full.' 2 In a video which has racked up over seven million views, the 27-year-old shared how the situation happened. She wrote: 'POV: I broke up with my man for 2 months and he went on a side quest to become a dad so now I get to help him raise a sweet baby girl.' Desiree shared the 'surprise' news in a video filmed at her partner's gender reveal with the other woman. The clip showed the former couple standing together in front of friends and family as they popped a streamer of pink tape, indicating they were having a daughter. Desiree, who already has three children aged nine, five, and four, added: 'No, I'm not the one expecting, but my heart is already full for this baby.' The understanding woman also insisted that she has come to a place of acceptance over the news, saying: 'God has a plan for everything!' Many people were shocked at the tale, and rushed to the comments to give their opinion. The majority of the viewers seemed amazed at how accepting Desiree had been about the situation. One said: 'You don't have to be this forgiving and accepting FYI.' Another added: 'He couldn't have come back to me after that side quest.' Love Island Shaughna Phillips reveals unborn baby's gender in emotional video with jailbird boyfriend out on day release And a third commented: 'May this love never find me.' Others compared the situation to the Handmaid's Tale, where babies born to 'Handmaids' are immediately given away to rich families, to have as their own. However, some people shared support for the pregnant woman involved with the drama. One wrote: 'I'm so devastated for the other girl involved. 'She has to birth the baby and then share it with whatever your situation is…' One agreed: 'My heart hurts for the pregnant mama.' Here's why I love being a young mum Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she believes are the pros of being a young mother. The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s. She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they're better behaved and happier. Tracy told Fabulous: "Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s. "I believe if I'd been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn't have the relationship I have with my children now. "For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience. "I wouldn't be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens. "My body snapped back to its pre-pregnancy size through fitness post-birth, which in turn gave me the confidence to date and find love again. I've never been happier than I am now at the age of 30 with two children. "If I'd have been alone at 40 with a newborn baby I'd be more tired, less happy with my body, less energetic and far more stressed from the shock of living my life for myself instead of putting others first. Sometimes age and the innocence of ignorance is a good thing. "As a teen mum I just got on with it, found my feet and became responsible and capable because at the time I didn't know any different."

I make £15k a MONTH doing a job most think they're too good for, you don't need qualifications & I choose my hours
FROM leaving school with no qualifications to launching a business that rakes in £15,000 every month, Kelly Moore is proof that transforming the trajectory of your life really is possible. It was back in June 2021 when the 10 Just four years ago, Kelly Moore was living in her overdraft and putting food back in the supermarket as she couldn't afford it Credit: Supplied by Kelly Moore 10 But now, Kelly has a business that generates £15,000 to £20,000 every single month Credit: Supplied by Kelly Moore Now, the mum-of-one, who was once counting pennies and constantly in her overdraft, has ditched the nine-to-five and doesn't have to worry about money. Not only has she grown into an incredibly inspiring female boss, but she's also the powerhouse behind Maidstone's fastest-growing eco-cleaning brand, She's expanded from having just one client to now over 50, proving you can build a business that's kind to people and the planet. In the midst of it all, she's dealt with single motherhood, sobriety and a relentless drive for purpose over profit and here, Kelly reveals all to Fabulous, for our exclusive series, Bossing It. Read more real life stories Mega earnings Discussing her life before launching her business, Kelly tells us: 'I did management courses but I was still on a really c**p wage. I started off at £15,000 and I worked my way up to about £17,000 a what I was earning before in a month, I can earn in a day." It was after the Coronavirus pandemic, when Kelly's desire to expand her horizons and boost her earnings skyrocketed, as she says: 'I was getting paid but it was just to get by really. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and I wanted more. 'I was living in my overdraft. If I didn't have an overdraft, I would have been stuck. I was going shopping and putting things back. 'I was doing a little bit of cleaning on the side and I thought, 'there's quite a lot of money in dirt.' And I enjoy it. I love going in and making a difference, whether that be in someone's health, their mental health, or their environment in general. Most read in Fabulous 'One day I was sitting there and I was searching online how to make more money - Amazon driving, leaflet dropping, just a little bit of extra, just so I could do more things with my son. 'I'd done a bit of research and there were no eco-cleaners in the local area. So I thought, right, I'm going for it.' I'm a mum-of-2 and was a broke teaching assistant on £840 a month - now I've made 46k doing a side hustle anyone can do Taking a risk Kelly sat with son, Lincoln, 11, who was just seven at the time, to design a potential logo and it wasn't long before her business, which uses biodegradable, vegan-friendly products, boomed. She adds: "I doubted myself quite a bit to start with, but I handed in my notice, set up a website and started making my own products at home. 'I left the hospice with one month's salary in the bank and had about three or four clients. And it's just gone crazy from there. It was literally the best thing I ever did. I wished I'd done it years ago. 'I just got bigger and bigger and bigger. Through my website and through word of mouth, I started getting more and more busy.' Kelly paid £500 to set up her website, and got her sister to help as business boomed. I've got dyslexia so I struggled. I never had any faith in myself. I always said I was 'thick' Kelly Moore The mother shares: 'I started taking on young girls and mums who wanted to work and earn money. I was a single mum so I understand, it's hard. It's hard juggling it all. 'I trained them up - they would come out with me for a good few weeks, so I'd always make sure they were the right fit. And then it's literally just grown from there. 'I never expected it to snowball like it did. I always thought it was just going to be me and I was going to do really well, and I was going to have loads and loads of clients and make loads of good money. 'It's definitely gone in a different direction, but a good direction.' Despite being 'thick,' 'never' having an idea about her 'dream job' and possessing 'no business experience,' Kelly is now an inspiration to many, as she continues: 'I never had an idea about my dream job, I was rubbish at school. My mum and dad moved around quite a lot, so I went to quite a few different schools. 'I've got dyslexia so I struggled. I never had any faith in myself. I always said I was 'thick'.' Kelly claims that while many initially 'doubted' her, it was from herself that much of the negativity arose. She says: 'I think people did [doubt] me, but the most self-doubt was probably from me, I was in my head. 'I'd never run a Kelly's advice on how to start your own business If you're eager to launch a business but aren't sure where to start, Kelly advises: "Just go for it, start and on't let anybody get in your way. "Believe in yourself, and whatever you put in, you will get back eventually. 'Just know that you can do it - show up, even when you don't feel like it. 'Educate yourself - whether that's podcasts or books. Instead of sitting watching s****y telly, put something on that's going to inspire you and educate you, and believe in yourself. "It's taken me a long time. Before I saw myself as an intruder. I was faking it till I made it. But I'm not that anymore, I'm a boss b***h and I'm proud of it.' Now, despite having a team of eight ladies, this self-proclaimed 'grafter' continues to 'show up and put the work in", but being her own boss means she can "pick and choose" when she cleans. 'Some days I take days off, and then other days I could be working for 12 hours, but that's my choice," she says. 'I don't have to do this, but I'm doing it because I see the bigger picture. 'I'm a grafter, I find it hard to say no and I also enjoy cleaning and like popping out to see the clients. 'Don't get me wrong, if one of the girls is sick, I'll cover, but if I want time off I will take time off. I am learning to step back a little bit. I'm trying to learn that I do not need to be on the tools all the time. My best place is to oversee it and grow it.' Cashing in Four years after launching, the business, which swears to never use bleach or aerosols, generates £15,000 to £20,000 a month. 'At the start I was making just under £1,000 a month, but not for long," she admits. 'Now, we're doing £15,000 to £20,000 a month in sales and we're on about £120,000 a year at the moment. 'Our best month was September last year - we just hit over £20,000 for a month in sales and there were only about four staff then. 10 Kelly, pictured here with her son Lincoln, is the powerhouse behind Cleaning With Meaning, a company that uses handmade, refillable and planet-safe products Credit: Supplied by Kelly Moore 10 Kelly, pictured here (right) with her colleague Sharon (left) has a team of eight Credit: Supplied by Kelly Moore 10 The ladies do domestic and commercial cleans Credit: Supplied by Kelly Moore 10 Now, her business can generate £20,000 a month Credit: Supplied by Kelly Moore "Every month we have a good month, because we're really good at what we do. We really generally care as well. It's not just about the money for us - we generally really care about our clients and about the environment and the impact we have on it." Despite making £15-20k a month, Kelly gives herself a modest pay check of just "£2,000 a month to pay the bills and live a life if I want". 'I could give myself £10,000 a month if I wanted it. But I don't need £10,000," she admits. 'I don't care for designer clothes and all that. I just want to make sure my business is growing and my people are looked after, so anything on top goes back into the business.' Facing judgement Despite her financial success, Kelly feels there is still a "stigma" about cleaners being "low-paid". 'People think we're 'just a cleaner'," she says. "But they don't understand the benefits we bring to people by cleaning their space, we're almost caregivers. 'People judge us and look down on us, but we love what we do. And there's definitely more to us than just wiping a cloth over the side. It's a real shame. 'There's also that trust thing - 'oh, can we have a cleaner in our house? - we don't need to go round stealing. We're not thieves, we're honest, hard-working women and we've got our own money.' I could give myself £10,000 a month if I wanted it. But I don't need £10,000. I don't care for designer clothes and all that Kelly Moore Instead of letting negativity hold her back, Kelly is using it to fuel her drive to expand the business. One of her very first customers was a business development manager, who she has recently hired to help expand her business offering. As well as making her own toilet bombs using bicarbonate of soda, Kelly now has more than 100 clients, cleaning both domestic and commercial properties, the latter of which include churches, scout huts, Airbnbs and office spaces. But what does the future hold for Kelly? She plans on "branching out more in commercial" as this "is where the money is". Reflecting, she adds: 'When I first started, I used to take on anyone and anything, but now I'm a little bit fussy. I could make thousands out of the commercial cleans and I haven't even got to step in the room.' Hoarders and takeaway addicts Whilst commercial cleans are the big money-makers, Kelly and her team don't shy away from the toughest of jobs - cleaning hoarder houses. She explains: "A couple of months ago me and Sharon went to a gentleman - we knew it was going to be a hairy clean because he sent a couple of photos through, but we didn't know what we were walking into. "We spent 16 hours on it. I've never seen anything like it. I'm surprised he was still alive to be fair. 10 Kelly has cleaned homes of hoarders Credit: Supplied by Kelly Moore 10 She once found this huge pile of rubbish in one woman's flat Credit: Supplied by Kelly Moore "He had stuff everywhere. We couldn't wipe the sides. We had to get a chisel. It took me about five hours just to wash up. "There was a chopping board with cats sitting on it, it was horrific. It was dark, dingy, cobwebs everywhere. Like some kind of horror film.' But that's not all, as Kelly also recalls a huge pile of pizza boxes she once found in a fast food addict's home. Before I saw myself as an intruder. I was faking it till I made it. But I'm not that anymore, I'm a boss b***h and I'm proud of it Kelly Moore Kelly explains: "We went to a young girl who was my age and really overweight. She lived on the top floor of a flat and from the floor to roughly my height or higher, was takeaway boxes. The whole of the front room - you didn't know where the sofa was or anything, it was really bad. 'The bathroom was really bad - feces everywhere. The bed was really bad, you wouldn't even put a dog in the bed she was sleeping in. 'After we'd finished, she literally said to us, 'I feel like I'm in a hotel, it doesn't feel like my own house.' It makes it all worthwhile." Personal struggles Despite her success, things haven't always been smooth-sailing for this Kelly claims she would even have days where she couldn't get out of bed and go to work, as she shares: 'I wasn't an alcoholic, I could go months without drinking, but when I was drinking I 100% took my eye off the ball and some days couldn't be bothered to go to work. 'Since I started my business, I've started educating myself. And since I've given up drinking, I'm just a better Sobriety, helping others and succeeding financially has been a 'game changer' for Kelly, who is now able to support her son and her locksmith partner, Leon, 50, who she has been with for nearly four years. Kelly, who has remained incredibly humble despite her success, beams: 'My partner was 50 in April, I took him for a two week all inclusive holiday to a five star hotel with my son. 'I don't even think about money anymore. Back in the day I would always be like, 'can I afford it?' and I'd have to save and put things back. 'Now I've got such a good relationship with money that money comes to me in abundance. The impact of using plastic cleaning products Laura Harnett, founder of eco cleaning brand, "Microplastic is a huge concern as they are released into our water every time a plastic sponge or cloth is used to wash up or is rinsed out. 'A yellow and green plastic sponge lasts approximately one month and when you see the green part go bobbly that's all of the microplastic coming out of it." 600 million plastic household items end up in landfill every year 13 million tonnes of plastic lead into our oceans each year 1.1 million marine animals die each year as they swallow, get strangled or are suffocated by plastic "I know there's enough money out there for everyone and I financially helped my partner. "If my boy wants something he can have it. Don't get me wrong, he's not spoiled, he's never asks for anything, but if he wants it he'll have it. "I can support my amazing team as well. They're such hard-workers and they're so loyal, so if they are struggling with anything, I can help them out. "And if I want something, I'll have it.
