My man is much hotter than me, trolls say he’ll leave me and think I’m his unattractive sister but I have the last laugh

SITTING in the park with their ten-month-old son Joe Hutchins, 26, and his partner Rachel Taylor 29, pose for a family selfie together.

But Rachel becomes aware of a group of women nearby, whispering and staring, but she barely gives them a moment’s notice as she is completely used to the reaction her relationship gets.

“My man is hotter than me,” she tells Fabulous in this exclusive interview.

“Girls constantly flirt with him and trolls claim he'll leave me.

“It used to shock me but I’ve since realised they’re just jealous of me.

“Women of all ages hit on my baby daddy. They do it in front of me. 

“They think I’m his sister or a nanny. I laugh in their faces, they’re the ugly ones.”

'Sex is dwindling'

However, Rachel, who lives in Exeter with Joe and their son Arthur, now ten months old. admits that she does occasionally feel insecure in her relationship.

“I do worry just how long our relationship will last now I’ve had a baby,” she admits.

“I co-sleep with our son Arthur and our sex life has taken a dive. It’s gone from five times a week to once a month.

“Being a new mum, having a fit man who runs a cocktail bar and caring for a baby means finding time to be intimate is impossible. 

“But Joe is an awesome dad. He loves me and my changing body.”

Rachel and Joe met on Tinder when she swiped on Joe’s profile in April 2022.

“I didn’t think he would be interested so I was really surprised when we matched,” she says.

Before meeting Rachel, Joe, who was living in Truro, Cornwall at the time, had bedded plenty of the sort of women who admire him now.

Bedded 150 women

Joe, who has slept with 149 women, explains: “I was used to women of all ages and types swiping on my profile. 

“I chatted with Rachel online and then said if she wanted a date, she’d have to come to see me.

“Women tend to be needy. They expect you to do the running. I was working long shifts running a bar so I didn’t have the time to do that.”

Rachel visited Joe a month later and the pair went out for dinner.

“We hit it off and Rachel offered to visit me again two weeks later,” he says.

Rachel says that Joe was worth making the four hour round trip for.

“I've had a number of different relationships and I wanted a fella who wasn’t all about ‘looks’ and was genuine,” she says.

“Joe was three years younger than me. I thought he’d be a ‘jack the lad’ instead he turned out to be a proper keeper.”

The pair admit they are total opposites.

Opposites attract

“I am an indoors type of person,” she says. 

“But Joe is a former equestrian who loves surfing and exercise, I’d rather veg out in front of the TV.

“He’s six foot three, I’m five foot three. He’s slim and drop dead gorgeous. I am someone who is happy without makeup. 

“He takes a good hour to get ready to go out. It takes ten minutes. Joe has more lotions and potions than me and is fastidious about his clothes.”

Despite their differences the pair agree they knew within a month they wanted to be together.

Joe moved up to Exeter for work as a bar manager within three months and then in July, four months after the couple met, Rachel discovered she was pregnant.

“Most men would have done a runner but Joe was thrilled,” she says.

“It fast-tracked our relationship and shocked everyone.”

Trolls attack

When Rachel announced her pregnancy, jealous trolls claimed she's ‘trapped her man’ and others couldn't understand why such a handsome ladies’ man would give up his single life.

“People told me he was out of my league but I knew they were wrong,” she says.

“Everyone is too quick to judge how a couple looks rather than what makes them click.”

In the early stages of her pregnancy Rachel would finish her shift as a carer and go and visit Joe at the bar.

“I’d sit to one side and watch as dozens of women of all shapes, sizes and ages would flirt outrageously with him,” she says.

“But rather than making me upset it just made me laugh.

“Even when people know we’re a couple, women will ask him out in front of me or slip him their phone number with a tip.

“It’s just water off a duck’s back for me, I know many women think I am out of his league”

Making money

That's when Rachel decided to give the ‘mean girls' something to talk about.

“I asked one girl if she’d bet me £5 if I could get the barman to ask me out or snog me,” Rachel says.

“She and her mates thought they were onto a winner and said they all bet me a tenner each.

He is hot but he is hotter on the inside, and we click in bed

Rachel Taylor

“I took the bet. Walked up to the bar and spent five minutes chatting with Joe and then he gave me a passionate song. 

“I walked back to see the girls' mouths drop and a look of pure shock cross their faces. I made fifty quid from the bet. It was a great feeling.”

Rachel says she and Joe work because she’s not the jealous type and neither is he.

“We love each other, we love our son and we’re creating a future together,” she says.

“Looks are not everything. When I do hair and makeup, I look good, but Joe loves me for me. I love him for him. 

“He is hot but he is hotter on the inside, and we click in bed.”

Since welcoming Arthur in March last year, Rachel says that her sex life has cooled off slightly but that isn’t a reflection on her relationship.

“The number of times you make love doesn't define your relationship,” she says.

“I know that hotness can cool. Some women get better looking with age and some men lose their looks. 

“If you choose who you fall in love with simply on looks then the relationship will end in disaster.

 “You also have to trust the man you are with, especially if they’re good looking, Joe would never play away because if he did he would never be coming back.

“I may get slagged, but I bagged the hot man, and he is hot for me.

“I’m five foot three, a size 16, working to get rid of my baby weight and often can’t be bothered with makeup. 

“We’re opposites and we love each other.”
