Charlotte Dawson displayed remarkable resilience last week as she celebrated her son Jude’s first birthday despite personal turmoil. Despite her anguish over allegations that her fiancé, Matt Sarsfield, had sent suggestive texts to another woman, Charlotte made sure her son’s milestone was special. At 31, Charlotte openly expressed her shock and heartache over the situation, emphasizing her commitment to her children as her primary concern.
Matt, 32, who has been accused of sending intimate messages to Emily Louise Hodgkinson—his former teammate’s ex—was noticeably absent from the festivities. Emily expressed sympathy for Charlotte, lamenting Matt’s betrayal. Despite her personal pain, Charlotte maintained a brave facade during the Peter Rabbit-themed celebration for Jude, which she described as an “incredible day full of fun” while getting ready.
The absence of Matt, however, cast a shadow over the celebration, leaving Charlotte in tears. An insider revealed that Matt left Charlotte and their children after she confronted him about the messages, missing Jude’s birthday party. The day was emotionally taxing for Charlotte, though she was supported by friends and family during this trying time.
Charlotte and Matt, who began their relationship in November 2016 and got engaged in September 2020 at a poignant location—the statue of Charlotte’s late father, comic Les Dawson—have been through many ups and downs. Friends are reportedly upset over the public embarrassment Charlotte has faced, with her still processing the impact of Matt’s actions. The betrayal has been particularly painful as Matt is not only her fiancé but also her close companion.
