Lucy Mecklenburgh's Secret Financial Reason for Wedding Delay
5 Apr
Summary
- Lucy Mecklenburgh reportedly wants financial independence from Ryan Thomas.
- Ryan Thomas faced bankruptcy in 2013 due to a £40,000 tax bill.
- Another source claims the couple is happy, prioritizing young children and careers.

Ryan Thomas and Lucy Mecklenburgh, engaged in 2019, have yet to marry seven years after their proposal in Italy. Initial reasons for the delay cited life events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the birth of their children, Roman and Lilah.
Recent reports suggest a new reason: Lucy's desire to maintain financial independence due to Ryan's past financial difficulties. Thomas experienced bankruptcy in 2013 following a £40,000 tax bill, and his company's recent filings showed only £1 in its accounts, with over £30,000 owed on a COVID Bounce Back Loan.
Sources indicate Lucy, who comes from a wealthy family, has been advised to protect her financial interests. Despite these concerns, another source close to the couple maintains they are happy and prioritizing their young children and busy careers, suggesting no wedding is imminent.
Interestingly, Ryan Thomas recently revealed he had considered breaking up with Lucy on their first date after meeting on 'Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls' in 2017, finding her initial interest in him 'unattractive'. However, upon meeting her for their date, he was captivated by her appearance and demeanor, leading him to commit to the relationship.
