Binky Felstead has officially traded her renovated £3.6 million home in Barnes, London, for a turreted mansion in New England.

Joshua Patterson's transatlantic visit to see 9-year-old India
The relocation has not hindered the relationship between Binky Felstead and her former partner, Joshua Patterson.. Patterson recently flew to the United States to visit their daughter, India, who is nine years old. The two spent quality time together, with Patterson also interacting with Felstead's sons, Wolfie, five, and Wilder, three.
As the report notes, social media followers have lauded the pair for their "positive" family dynamic, citing them as an example of successful co-parenting. This harmony comes years after the couple ended their relationship roughly 15 months after India's birth in 2018.
Max Fredrik Darnton's full-time shift to Fredriks' New York office
The catalyst for the family's move is the professional trajectory of Max Fredrik Darnton. in a June LinkedIn post, Darnton announced that he is joining his teammates at Fredriks, a global executive search and advisory firm, full-time in New York. This marks a transition from his previous schedule, which involved splitting his time between a Manhattan office and a base in London.
Darnton, who married Binky Felstead during a three-day celebration in Corfu in 2022, indicated that the move is intended to further his business connections within the US market. The family has fully committed to the transition, even flying over their dog, Pedro, to complete the household.
The uncertain future of 'Beyond Chelsea' after the US move
The move to Connecticut creates a logistical hurdle for Binky Felstead's professional commitments in the UK.. Specifically, the future of her spin-off series, Beyond Chelsea, now hangs in the balance. The show, which follows the lives of Felstead, Lucy Watson, and Rosie Fortescue, debuted in October 2024 and aired a second edition in March.
It remains unclear how the production will handle the distance between Felstead and her co-stars, or if the show will be restructured to include her American life. There is also no confirmation on whether the production company intends to fly Felstead back to London for filming or if the series will face a hiatus due to her semi-permanent relocation.
