Vanderhyde Sturge Wedding 💍 2026

The most beautiful day and I got to spend it with my most special guy!

Being home has been the best breath of fresh air and genuinely everything I needed and more whilst also just being able to finally be home with my family.

Last day in a country that truly changed everything for me.

Dropping my whole life to come out here for two months felt like a massive decision and honestly, it felt impossible at times. I didn’t really know if I was running towards something or just trying to survive what I was in but I just knew I needed space, distance, and quiet in a way I never had before.

This year has been one of the hardest chapters of my life. There were moments I had to carry a lot quietly. Moments where I had to choose restraint over reaction, integrity over impulse, and calm over chaos and even when things felt unfair, confronting, and completely out of my control.

That kind of growth doesn’t happen loudly. It happens privately and it changes you in ways you don’t even realise until you look back.

Out here, I learned that solitude and loneliness aren’t always bad things. Sometimes they’re exactly what your nervous system needs. They give you space to actually feel what you’ve been carrying, to hear your own thoughts again, and to rebuild the parts of yourself that only you can fix.

I learned that sometimes the only way to help yourself is to choose peace. To protect your energy. To stop over-explaining. To walk away from what drains you. To trust that how you move through hard moments matters more than how loud you defend yourself.

I’m leaving lighter than I arrived. Clearer. More grounded. More myself again.
Grateful for the lessons, the stillness, and for finding my way back to me. 🤍

BAHHUM DUCK is open!

Honestly can't thank , , and .evolution for the opportunity to not only dance in the cast but be dance captain!

I didn't think I'd ever want to perform again and my god has been a show that I truly love and can't wait to dance over and over again.

I'm so happy I could burst. This contract not only means alot to me work wise but spiritually as well.
2025 has probably been the hardest year yet since settling back on land and this contract came at a time I needed it the most. Teaching me patience, trust, and the art of being so okay with being alone. Being comfortable with my feelings and sitting with them instead of throwing myself into 5000 different tasks.

So yeah...I'm happy I'm here

Feels like I'm just in one big day dream 🐟🐠

Dreamy nights in Dubai ✨

Hello Dubai 🙌
Having a BLAST and my god I'm feeling so good.

Happy anniversary to the actual love of my life.

Something I will cherish until the day I die is that every single day, Ross and I choose each other. Our relationship and our marriage haven’t always been easy, but we continue to show up, to stay, and to grow together. Choosing each other every day matters because love isn’t just a feeling. It’s a commitment. It’s waking up and deciding to try again, to listen again, to hold each other again. That choice is what builds a life.

We have changed so much since meeting at twenty and twenty one, and we are still learning the new versions of each other as we evolve. Through every season and every shift, we keep choosing one another. That choice is the anchor that has carried us through everything.

I have never known a love like yours. Your love has no conditions, no limits, and no judgement. You are the light that guides me every time I lose myself. Even when I am at my lowest and my darkest, you radiate like a beam and wash away every fear that I have. Loving me isn’t easy. Loving someone who struggles so much in their own mind isn’t easy. But you do it. You choose me through all of it, and that right there is why I married you.

You are an incredible husband, not just in the big moments, but in the quiet ones where you hold me up without even realising you’re doing it.

You are my person. My MF person.
I couldn’t and wouldn’t do this life without you. No matter how many times we stumble, break, or fall into a rut, we always find our way back to each other. That’s what makes this love fu***ng real. Not perfect. Real. Strong. Ours.

That is love. Choosing each other again and again, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Definitely was not on my 2025 bingo card to go off and do another professional contract buttttt life has a way of snapping you back into old passions!

Absolutely thrilled to not only be a Dancer but also DANCE CAPTAIN which if anyone knows has been a dream of mine to fulfil a role as such.

So here I go. It's never to late to accomplish your dreams or goals. You truly can have it all 😭

I look good for a dead b*tch.
Welcome back to the living for me.

New era unlocked. Back to auditioning back to booking jobs so here's to the new journey.

The past two years have been some of the hardest on us.
Balancing grief, a new life on land, multiple businesses, friendships, our marriage and everything else stacked on top of it sometimes it felt like we were worlds apart, even when we were in the same room.

But no matter what, you are the beginning and the end of my life.
You’re the bookends that hold me together.
Life gets in the way, and sometimes we have to find our way back to each other but I know, if anyone can do it, it’s us.

You are always going to be my person.
You’re the one I wake up to, the one I fall asleep with, the one I look to for everything. You’re the person I care about more than anyone else in this entire world.

Life has been crazy. We’ve faced new challenges and new stressors we never saw coming but through it all, the best thing I could ever ask for is my husband, my best friend, grabbing my hand and saying, “I’ve got you, no matter what.” That’s the greatest gift I’ve ever been given.

Thank you for always, and I mean always , loving me, even when I’m not perfect.
You truly are the love of my life.

Thank you for being the lighthouse who always guides me back home when I get lost in my darkness.
