What To Do If Your Blended Family Doesn’t Work Out With Nevine Coutry
About this episode
Nevine Coutry is the founder of the UK’s first dating app for single parents, ‘Playdate’. After divorcing her ex-husband in 2016, Nevine found herself as a single parent to her 3 year old son. Nevine tried all the mainstream dating apps looking for a new partner but would often get ghosted after mentioning her son or her divorce.<br><br>It wasn’t until a couple years later at a friends’ birthday party that Nevine met a single dad, and they hit it off immediately. They joined family units and Nevine became a step-mum. Although their relationship didn’t work out, the experience left Nevine feeling so enriched by the Blended experience that she decided to create her dating app.<br><br>Nevine’s story is a chance to hear what happens when Blended families don’t quite work out as planned, as Nevine says in the episode, it’s bittersweet but she would do it all over again.<br><br>If you’re excited to be a part of the Blended community, make sure to follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blended/?hl=en" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Blended</a> on Instagram.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
