Fans were left in stitches after Jake Humphrey’s now-deleted LinkedIn post where he seemed to take his wife for a relationship appraisal.
The 46-year-old TV presenter, married to Harriet since 2007, shared a rather reflective message that quickly went viral.
In the post, Jake revealed that he and Harriet decided to have an honest conversation about their relationship as they prepared for 2025.
A Date Night with a Difference
The couple, who have been together for 25 years, went for a dinner at a local pub while their kids were away at a sleepover.
During their dinner, they reviewed their relationship and discussed how 2024 had been for them.
Jake explained that they asked each other some probing questions, including “Where did 2024 miss the mark for you?” and “Where did you feel let down by me?” He admitted that it might not be for everyone, but for them, the conversation was surprisingly helpful in their busy lives.
Viral Reactions and Jokes from Fans
Jake’s post quickly went viral, with Twitter users having a field day over the idea of a relationship “review.”
Many joked about the bizarre nature of the date, with one saying, “Lovely of Jake Humphrey to take his wife for an appraisal after 25 years, what a bizarre bloke.”
Others teased, “Jake Humphrey literally doing a Stop Start Continue with his wife.
Wonder how her annual review went before Christmas.”
Another cheekily added, “The 7 words every woman wants to hear: ‘It’s time for your 2024 performance review.'”
Even Jake joined in on the fun, reposting a humorous tweet that featured an image of a man with a chart, and jokingly admitting, “Even I thought this was me!!!”
A Beautiful Relationship and Lasting Love
Despite the humorous reactions, Jake has always expressed deep admiration for his wife Harriet.
The couple met at Liquid Nightclub in Norwich during a Phats and Small gig, with Jake describing Harriet as “the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen.”
The two share children Florence and Sebastian, and Jake marked their 25th anniversary last year with an emotional Instagram post.
He described Harriet as “the most loyal, tolerant, ego-free, encouraging, humble, devoted, determined, brave and brilliant person I’ve ever met” and shared how much he continues to choose her every day.
Fans might laugh at Jake’s LinkedIn post, but it’s clear that after 25 years, his love for Harriet remains as strong as ever.
