So yesterday, my cousin Lucy calls me, right? She’s like, “You’ll never believe what; Caggie from Made in Chelsea’s had a baby!” And I’m thinking, wait, when did that happen? Last I had heard, she was doing her whole spiritual wellness thing in LA. Shows how well I’ve kept up with reality TV nowadays.
But Lucy got me curious. With all this baby chat going around, is Caggie Dunlop married yet? Because let’s be real; most of us remember her as that posh girl who couldn’t make her mind up about Spencer Matthews back in 2011.
Turns out she’s not married. Not even close. But there’s a whole story here, and honestly? Good on her.
Baby Drama Without the Wedding Drama
Caggie announced she was pregnant in February. Proper surprise, that was. One minute she’s Instagramming about meditation retreats, the next she’s posting a baby bump. The comments went mental, with everyone asking who the dad was.
She kept it quiet for months. Smart move, really. Can you imagine the field day the tabloids would’ve had? “CAGGIE’S MYSTERY MAN” emblazoned over the covers.
Then, in June, she had the baby: a girl. The dad is Tom Liddell, she revealed finally. Never heard of him? Neither had I. Seems like an ordinary bloke, which is perhaps exactly what she needed after years of reality TV madness.
The Non-Husband
People are googling who is Caggie dunlop married to hoping to uncover some kind of a big secret. Unfortunately, there is no Caggie Dunlop husband, much to our disappointment. Tom’s her boyfriend. They’re not married. And you know what? Who cares?
This isn’t the 1950s. Babies happen without getting hitched all the time. Eight years, two kids, my neighbour Sarah, never got wed. They’re happier than many married couples I know.
Spencer Matthews Flashbacks
God, remember all that Spencer drama? The airport chase scene? The dramatic declarations? My teeth started to itch watching it. All that “will we, won’t we” nonsense when it was clear they were never really going to hook up in a conventional sense.
Spencer is married to Vogue Williams now. They have three kids and appear to be fine. Good luck to them. But seriously, Caggie had a lucky escape there. Can you see her working through Spencer’s midlife crisis phases? The man’s tiring even to watch on TV, for crying out loud.
The Scott Situation
She then dated Scott Sullivan following Spencer. Remember him from the show? Decent enough guy but about as interesting as watching paint dry.
Then he went and married Funda from the same show. Bit weird, that. Your ex is getting married to someone you used to work with. Chelsea is like one big, incestuous dinner party, right?
Actually Building Something
What’s brilliant about Caggie is she properly got out. Might have hung on for years milking the reality TV thing for all guest appearances and club openings: the whole circus. Instead, she built something real.
Her podcast’s massive now. Saturn Returns, it’s called. It’s all about those mental years when you’re trying to sort out what you’re actually doing with your life. You turn thirty, and all of a sudden everything is a crisis, right? She discusses that stuff in depth, not just cut-and-paste bollocks.
Moved to LA for a bit too. It must have been hell going from Sloane Square to Hollywood. But she made it work. Writing books, doing wellness stuff. Using her brain and not just being pretty at parties.
Modern Families
So on to the marriage bit. Is Caggie Dunlop married? No. Does it matter? Also no.
She has Tom, they have a baby, and they seem happy. Marriage is only paperwork if you think about it. My gran would go mad if she heard me say that, but it is true. Love is love, certificate or not.
Maybe they’ll get married eventually. Maybe they won’t. Either way’s fine, isn’t it? If they love each other and the baby, who cares about a wedding?
The Real Story
Lucy was right to be surprised about the baby news. Caggie kept it proper quiet. No massive magazine spreads, no exclusive interviews. Just a simple announcement when she was ready.
That’s quite refreshing after years of reality stars selling their pregnancy stories to the highest bidder. She did it her way, in her own time. Good for her.
What Comes Next
Will there be wedding bells? Your guess is as good as mine. Tom seems lovely from what little we’ve seen of him. He’s not trying to be famous, which is probably perfect for where Caggie is now.
She’s in her thirties, she’s got her career sorted, and she’s got her little family. Why rush into marriage just because people expect it?
The Chelsea Connection
Mad to think she started out on that show over a decade ago. All those ridiculous arguments in fancy restaurants. The manufactured drama. The designer outfits are just to go for coffee.
Now she’s talking about mental health and spiritual growth on her podcast. Proper grown-up stuff. Makes you realise how young they all were back then, doesn’t it?
Bottom Line
For anyone still wondering about Caggie’s love life, she’s not married, she’s not single, she’s just living her life. Got a boyfriend who clearly adores her, a new baby daughter, and a career she actually cares about.
Not bad for someone who used to be known mainly for not shagging Spencer Matthews, eh?
The whole marriage obsession feels a bit old-fashioned anyway. Half my married mates are miserable, and my unmarried friends with long-term partners seem much happier. Maybe Caggie’s got the right idea after all.
