For the Series 19 finale of The Netmums Podcast, we’re switching things up with a special video episode. After a series spent asking the questions, dad host JB Gill finds himself on the other side of the conversation as his wife Chloe joins him on the sofa in the studio – and Louise gets the chance to find out what JB is really like as a husband and dad behind closed doors.

Together for 17 years and married for 12, JB and Chloe open up about the reality of making family life work around busy and unpredictable careers. They talk honestly about communication, reconnecting after time apart and how they operate as a team – even if Chloe, as the family’s self-described 'CEO of the girls' carries much of the mental load at home.

The couple also share how they’re raising Ace, 11, and Chiara, 7, to stay grounded despite growing up around entertainment, travel and life in the public eye. From chores and personal responsibility to resisting the urge to fix every problem for their children, JB and Chloe explain why preparing them for adulthood matters more than making life easy. 

And Chloe reveals whether the JB listeners know from the podcast is the same man she gets at home!

In this episode:

  • Chloe reveals what JB is really like at home
  • The reality of sharing the parenting load
  • How they keep Ace and Chiara grounded
  • The secret to 17 years together
  • His and her opinions on different parenting styles
  • The difference between bring up boys and girls

And because we couldn’t let JB escape that easily, the episode finishes with a very revealing Mr & Mrs-style challenge, as the couple put their 17 years together to the test, compare parenting habits and discover just how well they really know each other.

A funny, warm and revealing Series 19 finale about marriage, mental load, raising grounded kids and the reality of family life behind the scenes.
