Joe continues to play an active role with the children, helping out after work and spending time with them during family gatherings. Sue reflected on their relationship dynamics, stating, “Joe will go round after school to help with the kids after he finishes work. He is very hands-on, which is nice.”
Looking Ahead
The Radfords express a desire for Sophie to eventually meet someone new when she feels ready. Noel emphasized the importance of her finding happiness again, saying, “She is in no rush.”
