Millie Radford and Harley Passmore have addressed rumours about their marriage after fans accused them of staging a break-up for publicity. Millie has been in the spotlight since appearing on22 Kids and Counting as Sue Radford's seventh child - and has continued to share parts of her private life on social media.

She married Harley in November 2024, and the pair are raising three children together. However, fans started to suspect their relationship was on the rocks when Harley shared numerous posts without Millie on his social media platforms. Following this, he issued a statement on Tuesday (January 27) explaining their split and dispelling rumours their break-up was a "publicity stunt".

He said: "I've been shown a lot of comments recently about mine and Millie's break-up.

"I'd like to put it out there that we actually genuinely did break up and didn't do this for content. Why would we pretend to break up for content?

"We got back together as we felt like we couldn't give up on our marriage and our love like that. Everyone just needs a break, I guess.

"But also, I'd like to put it out there that everything we film is real and not fake, as I don't like to be fake."

Millie is yet to speak about the topic, but her Instagram continues to show a pinned post from her wedding day, suggesting it's still one of her favourite moments.

In the caption, she wrote: "Thank you everyone for making our day so special and, most importantly, a huge, massive thank you to my mum and dad for helping to arrange our day from start to finish and making everything so perfect.

"We had the most amazing day with everyone. I’m so proud of my whole entire family.

"Everyone looked amazing, and I was bursting with a beaming smile all night, so proud to call them my family. Without a doubt, they all made our day even more special."

Millie welcomed her daughter, Ophelia, into the world in September 2020. However, she is no longer with Ophelia's father, whose identity remains a secret.

In February 2022, Millie welcomed her second child, Chester, keeping her pregnancy a secret until her due date.

One year later, in September 2023, she welcomed her third child, daughter Elodie, into the world.

After becoming a family-of-five, Harley popped the question during a trip to Disneyland, Florida, in April 2024, and the couple went on to celebrate their wedding at Wennington Hall in Lancashire on November 23, 2024.
