Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes’ relationship history: How long have the couple been together as they announce baby news?
YouTuber Zoe Sugg sent fans into a spin when she announced her pregnancy, with boyfriend Alfie Deyes.
The 30-year-old, also known as Zoella, confirmed their happy news on Instagram, sharing a sweet montage of clips, showing off their scan photo and hospital visits.
The mum-to-be also shared a glimpse of her growing baby bump as she posed in a mirror, in a brief clip.
Alongside the post, she told fans: ‘We’re super excited to share with you, that our baby girl will be joining us in September.’
As the couple are preparing for the next stage in their romance, we took a look over their sweet relationship history.
When did Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes meet?
Zoe and 27-year-old Alfie – dubbed Zalfie – have been together for eight years, and first started dating near the end of 2012.
Lifting the lid on their relationship to Glamour, the star revealed she met her now-beau when she queued up with pals to be introduced to the Pointless Blog vlogger at a meet-and-greet session.
As you do.
While celebrating their seventh anniversary, Alfie recalled meeting her for the first time at a party, where he’d pointed her out to his friend and said he thought she was ‘hot’.
He penned: ‘People often speak about how “fast” or “quick” time goes by, but it’s only when I celebrate big milestones like being with Zoe for 7 years, Nala turning 5 last month, or having created YouTube videos for 10 years that I wonder where the heck the time has gone!
‘It feels like only a few months ago that I was at a party in London telling a friend that I “thought that girl over there” was hot…
‘Little did I know I’d one day be living with her, owning a dog together and in 7 year relationship!’
When did Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes start dating?
The pair were close friends at first, and would often film YouTube videos together.
In fact, they even shared an earlier clip addressing speculation over the bond, insisting that they were just simply good pals, before this eventually turned into a romance.
While they kept things under wraps at first, they eventually confirmed they were dating in 2013 – when pal Jim Chapman accidentally shared a snap of them kissing in the back of one of his vlogs.
In true Zoe form, she announced the news on her blog, in an adorable post with the title Zalfie.
When did Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes move in together?
Zoe and Alfie have been living at their swanky their five-bedroom home in Brighton for more than three years now, with the pair moving into the property in 2017.
They have given us all glimpses of the incredible property – complete with a very, very organised pantry – ever since they stepped over the threshold, on social media and countless vlogs.
Before this, they lived in another property together, but complained of fans turning up on their doorstep in a bid to get a closer look at their home life.
Zoe took to Twitter in 2015 to ask followers to stop camping outside their place and ringing the doorbell, and Alfie also repeatedly pointed out that it wasn’t right for parents to drive their children to spy over the fence.
At the time, he tweeted: ‘Love going into our garden to see people and even MUMS leaning over our wall to look into the house.’
Are Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes engaged or married?
Zalfie are constantly quizzed over their long-term relationship, and when they will take the next step in their romance and announce an engagement.
At the time of writing, they are not planning to head up the aisle.
Zoe previously stated that they like to take things slow in terms of their relationship, but has every faith that it’ll be the perfect proposal – so we can all calm down now.
Speaking in another video with her boyfriend, she told him: ‘I 100% know that you will plan [the proposal]…
‘And you’ll do it really nicely.’
No pressure, hun.
When is Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes’ anniversary?
The couple celebrate their anniversary on October 4, and bless us all with sweet snaps and videos from their time together.
To commemorate their last anniversary, the expectant dad posted eight photos from their time together, with the caption: ‘8 years with Zoe in 8 photos x.’
Zoe found the tribute hilarious, stating that it was the ‘most Alfie Deyes thing’ she had ever seen.
We wouldn’t expect anything less.
