Georgia Toffolo’s mum Nicky said: “Welcome to the family James thank you for being so thoughtful, kind and generous and making my little girl so very happy . Thrilled to bits for you two special people xx”

Georgia and James’s happy news comes after the couple experienced heartache earlier this year after James’s father Jim passed away, only six weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 

James Watt said: “Early this morning, I lost my absolute hero and my forever rock as we said goodbye to my dad.

“My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer only 6 weeks ago and it was heartbreaking to see his decline so quickly. Only 8 weeks ago he was still catching lobsters on his boat The Serene BF 453.

“My dad meant the world to me, and we were incredibly close. After I started BrewDog, I could not afford to pay myself a wage for the first 4 years, so I moved into my dad’s spare room and lived there until I was 29 years old. I also spent 7 years working side by side with my dad on  North Atlantic trawler.

“I lost one of my closest friends Dan Bolton to pancreatic cancer only in January and we lost my grandfather who was also a lobster fisherman last June. 12 months ago, I could not have imagined my life without one of them, let alone what it would be like to lose 3 of them in such tragically quick succession. I miss them all greatly.”

James also said that “You were always unconditionally there for me from the minute I was born and you being my father has been by far the greatest privilege and honour of my life so far. “Dad, I love you.”

Georgia Toffolo also said: “Made me cry. I’m so glad you met James when you did. It’s almost like it was fated. He may have dealt with all this very differently if you and Mont dog weren’t around xxxx there will be sun through the cloud soon xx Rest easy fellow seafarer.”

Georgia Toffolo and James Watt started dating in 2023 after reportedly being set up by a mutual friend.
