Lucie & Billy

Lucie and Billy met on eharmony in September 2018. Before meeting Billy, Lucie had been with her previous partner for 17 years. They were married for a year before divorcing when her daughters were 5 and 7.

Billy had previously been in a 10-year relationship and had been trying online dating on different apps before joining eharmony.

From a first date to falling in love

Their first date, which was also Lucie’s first-ever online date, took place in a local pub. They hit it off straight away and told each other they loved one another after just three weeks.

Four months after meeting, they travelled to New York together to celebrate New Year’s Eve in December 2018.

Building a life together

Their relationship grew gradually, and after Covid, they moved in together full-time, with Billy relocating to Brighton.

In 2024, Billy proposed while they were on holiday in Turkey. After eight years together, the couple are getting married in September.

Billy is also stepdad to Lucie’s daughters, Elise and Mya, who are now 13 and 16 and absolutely love him. Together, the family have enjoyed lots of lovely holidays, Christmases and fun times. They also share their home with their cat, Bella.

A match worth discovering

Lucie is incredibly grateful to eharmony for bringing them together. Billy is 10 years younger than her and lived slightly outside her geographical search area, but eharmony still suggested him as a potential match.

And that match turned into eight years of love, a blended family and a future together.
