Ryan Libbey has revealed that he unwittingly had resentment towards his partner Louise Thompson after the birth of their son Leo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Louise, 35, nearly died when she welcomed Leo-Hunter in 2021 after a emergency caesarean in which she lost ’12 and a half litres of blood.’<\/p>\n

She went on to suffer with PTSD and post-natal anxiety due to her near-death experience and has since then been diagnosed with Lupus, Asherman’s syndrome, suffered a second Hemorrhage, and has also had a stoma bag fitted.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the latest episode of Giovanna Fletcher<\/a>‘s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast on Tuesday, Ryan, 34, discussed the aftermath and how it affected him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Giovanna began: ‘You had Louise not being the mum that you thought she would be because of everything she was going through.’<\/p>\n

Ryan Libbey has revealed that he unwittingly had resentment towards his partner Louise Thompson after the birth of their son Leo<\/p>\n

\"Louise, <\/p>\n

Louise, 34, nearly died when she welcomed Leo-Hunter in 2021 after a emergency caesarean in which she lost ’12 and a half litres of blood’<\/p>\n

Ryan explained: ‘It was 10 or 11 months into it and I had my family say that I wasn’t ok.\u00a0I had sunken into a state of depression without even knowing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘My days were incredibly long and I’d sunken into a state of survival. When Louise what at home there was a lot of activity going on with her health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We had a crisis management team come regularly which to put it bluntly was a suicide watch because she was so mentally checked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I couldn’t really understand it. She had lost the fight. I couldn’t understand that we were in a place of her wanting to end her life and that she didn’t care for the baby in the room.<\/p>\n

‘I felt very helpless, that I couldn’t fix the situation.\u00a0I needed to remove myself because I was full of resentment towards the whole thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘That’s when I jumped in a taxi and just went to the airport and picked a flight. I ended up in Budapest and I didn’t do what I needed it to so I hopped on a flight to Barcelona and just put my feet in the sand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘That was when I decided to reach out and go to therapy for the first time. I never had any medical people step in and say that I might need something.<\/p>\n

‘It didn’t feel right and I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I had perhaps been a bit of a coward by doing that.’<\/p>\n

\"He <\/p>\n

He said:\u00a0‘I felt very helpless, that I couldn’t fix the situation. I needed to remove myself because I was full of resentment towards the whole thing’<\/p>\n

It comes after Ryan admitted he struggles with being a ‘modern-age dad’ who earns less than his fiancee, Louise<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Made in Chelsea<\/a> alum also revealed his fears over one day becoming a stay-at-home-father as work dries up.<\/p>\n

The former TV star, who also works as a personal trainer, expressed his concerns on the latest episode of the couple’s podcast, He Said, She Said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘I’m down in the weeds and not feeling particularly grateful for who I am or what I’m doing,’ he explained. ‘There are days when it’s like, I’m really not getting this right.\u00a0It’s not moving and it’s not progressing how I would want it to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s been a very quiet start to 2025 on the work front for Ryan – and it’s panicked me.’<\/p>\n

Ryan, who lives in London with Louise and their son, Leo, claimed part of the problem is not knowing what career choices to make.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Made in Chelsea alum also revealed his fears over one day becoming a stay-at-home-father for their son Leo, three (pictured) as work dries up<\/p>\n

He currently describes himself as a digital marketer and podcaster who ‘works with brands’.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Louise he added: ‘I don’t wrestle with the fact that you’re the breadwinner – I think it’s wonderful and I’ll support you – but if I can be as relaxed about that situation… me being a slightly modern-age dad… I think that’s the bracket I’m falling into.<\/p>\n

‘There have been days over the past few weeks where I’m like, I might just fold! I might just be the stay-at-home dad and I might just do the cooking and the food shopping and the guy who pretends he can do DIY and hammers things all day.<\/p>\n

‘Because Louise is actually earning more than I ever will, and she’s pretty bloody good at the whole business side of things, so why don’t I let her do that and I’ll do the other stuff.<\/p>\n

‘But then I think, I’ve got lots to offer as well. I just need to figure out how to press go.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Libbey has revealed that he unwittingly had resentment towards his partner Louise Thompson after the birth of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[92,77,71983,813,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-173786","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-dailymail","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-louise-thompson","11":"tag-tvshowbiz","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114660861965763434","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
