I don't know... I wouldn't like it if he hid a significant part of his life and identity like this on purpose for an extended amount of time. It screams "I don't want evil golddiggers to just marry me for my title, poor me!" to me. Plus, the guy in the picture is hideous - viscount or not. His title and money are probably the only things he has going for him.
This doesn't sit right with me; it's like he wanted a "commoner" so he could literally lord it over her and was practically accusing her of gold-digging before she even had a chance to get to know him. A viscount lives quite differently than most men and she had a right to know what that was like before he roped her in.
I won't harp too much on his appearance; at least he still has hair and doesn't look obese. Some women like the Nordic look. But that video was horribly gauche (and boring) and I wonder why she made it.
Eh. No. I know this couple, as the woman was on Ladies of London. Reality shows are my thing, and I looked into them a bit. A lot of British noblemen with title are dead broke and he’s one of them. He comes across as a spoiled inept first son, and he has drug problems too. He relies on her to generate money to maintain their vast estate. She contorts herself to prove herself worthy of this position.This never looked like an ideal love to me. No prince charming here. He needed her to take charge as they were so starting to go under. It’s the age old transaction between America and British. Wealthy US heiress and broke aristocrat. Except she had no wealth and toils hard to leverage his family standing to generate funds. It’s like a business transaction.I would find it insulting if a guy kept that from me for so long. I should know the moment a strong connection has been established. When things like this are kept from you it’s clear the man finds you to be of low status, hence a “gold digger”. Icky, but to each her own.

Me pronouncing it vis-count until the videoMe trying in vi-count after the video because I have no idea what a viscount is.

Haha ... hard pass for me.
Oh my gosh she bored me so much.
Last I heard he’d been awarded a multi million settlement for a medical treatment gone awry so the funds should be flowing in now at least.
