Georgia Toffolo says she has ‘quarterly relationship review’ with BrewDog fiancé

The couple faced online backlash last month for saying employees do not need a ‘work-life balance’.

Reality TV star Georgia Toffolo has revealed that she and her BrewDog founder fiance James Watt conduct a quarterly review of their relationship four times a year.

The couple made headlines earlier this year after they posted a video to Instagram in which they described the idea of work-life balance as an invention by “job haters”.

They suggested that balancing your career with a healthy personal life is problematic and is for people who dislike their job.

“I think the whole concept of work-life balance was invented by people who hate the job they do, so if you love what you do, you don’t need work-life balance, you need work-life integration,” said Watt.

Toffolo continued: “It’s so true, when I met James I was quite taken aback at how aligned we are in the important stuff and one of those things was a lack of work-life balance in a really beautiful way.

“Work knows no bounds,” she continued. “Constantly in our home, we are working but we do things we find incredibly fulfilling and we also have a supportive other half that loves that high-octane obsession with what we do.

“I’ve always known I would end up with someone like James because it would not work otherwise. If someone was saying ‘you need to knock off now’ I would be thinking ‘what, do you not like my business? Do you not believe in me? Are we not striving towards the same thing?'”

It wasn’t long before the clip started doing the rounds on social media, with many mocking the multi-millionaire couple for their ‘work-life integration’ suggestion.

Now, in a video shared on TikTok, Toffolo gave viewers insight into their business-oriented relationship, which revolves around quarterly reviews where they give each other feedback on what they loved – and didn’t love – every three months.

“My fiance and I do a quarterly review of our relationship,” Toffolo told the camera. “People might think it’s a bit weird but we think it’s really normal.”

The former Made in Chelsea star said the first phase of their review includes sitting down and telling each other what they love about the other.

“This is the savage one, we talk about things that we could do better or feedback that we’d like to give,” she added.

She continued: “I feel like if you don’t nip it in the bud, completely irrelevant things like ‘I don’t like your lip balm’ can turn into bigger, major things that actually could affect your relationship.”

Toffolo finished by saying she “would highly recommend having a state of the nation for all relationships.”
