Pawgli, the 27-year-old influencer who has been dating Chelsea full-back Pep Chavarria, revealed that her first days in London were interrupted by a squirrel. She said the animal forced her to walk an extra hour and a half, a claim she supported with a TikTok video.

A Sudden Detour

Pawgli, who has more than 1.1 million followers on TikTok, was on a 50-minute walk to a nail salon when she encountered a squirrel standing in the middle of a forested path. She recalled asking ChatGPT whether squirrels attack, receiving a warning that they can, and then backing away. The squirrel did not leave, prompting her to retrace her steps and take a longer route that added an hour and a half to her journey.

Mixed Emotions About the Move

The influencer moved to London after Pep Chavarria was signed by Chelsea for £18 million. Pawgli admitted that the move has caused her to question her career and personal life. She said she is “panicking” because she will lose opportunities in Madrid, where she has a thriving fashion, beauty and lifestyle brand. She also expressed concern about losing her Spanish-speaking audience and the need to learn English.

The Relationship Context

Chavarria, who made his LaLiga debut at 24 and spent the last four seasons with Rayo Vallecano, and Pawgli have been together since November last year. Pawgli stated that she loves her partner and wants to build a future and family with him, but she also emphasised that she will never depend on anyone for her income. She said she will keep her own projects and brands in Madrid while living in London.

A TikTok Debrief

In a 90-second TikTok clip, Pawgli shared a picture of the squirrel and described the ordeal as “scary.” She also mentioned that she has not yet moved into a house with Chavarria, as they will not have a home in London until the 28th of the month. The video ended with her saying she is “mega-happy” for her partner but still uncertain about the long-term impact on her career.

Looking Ahead

Pawgli said she will continue to create content wherever she goes and that being in London could open new opportunities. She also noted that she will keep her Spanish audience while exploring English-speaking opportunities. The incident has become a viral moment for the influencer, highlighting the unexpected challenges of relocating for a partner’s career.
