'I never share a bed with my partner of eight years - he sleeps like a Labrador'

A glamorous mum-of-two has revealed that she rarely sleeps in the same bed as her significant other, admitting that their relationship is "never perfect".

Chloe Szepanowski shares her two sons Arti, two, and nine-month-old Sunny, with her partner of eight years, Mitch Orval, and like many parents, they've had to learn to make some adjustments.

From the outside, the 24-year-old influencer's family life looks positively dreamy, but she and Mitch have had to deal with some all-too-relatable parenting pitfalls along the way.

One of Chloe's 609,000 Instagram followers recently asked her, 'How is Mitch and your relationship since expanding your family?", and received a candid response.

Admitting, "it's never perfect", Chloe, who goes by the Instagram handle @chloeszep, confessed: "We argue, get disconnected, he sleeps on the couch majority of the nights (because he sleeps better).

"Sleeping with two kids he says he sleeps like a Labrador HAHAHA."

The Australian model, who lives on the Gold Coast, also dropped some "straight truths" about their sex life, continuing: "We juggle the household and kids.

"And if there's any time at night we will watch something or give each other a massage, have a bath, get frisky. Then other nights we wanna watch our own shows or do our own things."

According to Chloe, parenting two young children has been a "wild ride", but she knows she and Mitch are in it together, and says they share a "mutual understanding".

Sharing a pic of herself in bed, Chloe revealed her two sons still share her bed, continuing: "Sunny starts in his cot in his room and around midnight comes into bed (I breastfeed) and Arti sleeps in our bed still.

"We ordered his bunk bed – it just hasn't arrived yet so we will do the transition soon."
