However, the businesswoman and mother of three didn’t have the best start in life.

From the age of five, Emily was in and out of foster homes as her mother, who was a drug addict, was often missing.

And then, when Emily was six, her mother passed away and she was taken into permanent foster care.

When she arrived at the foster home, Emily said she was filthy and full of nits and didn’t even know how to use a knife and fork.

However, his life began to change due to the positive influence of his family.

“Being with them was very positive for me because they were normal people and a normal family,” she told Femail.

“I had a mother and a father and they had three children.”

When she was 13, Emily went to live with her grandmother, but she still stays in touch with her adoptive parents to this day and said she can’t thank them enough for the life they gave her.

Emily said she has always had an interest in luxurious things, a love that comes from watching her grandfather buy gold.

After meeting her husband, Adam, the two founded Love Luxury together and now resell items from brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Cartier.

In 2023, Emily, Adam and their children moved to Dubai to expand their business.

They also run a TikTok account, which has helped their business grow and now has over 1.9 million followers.

Discussing how her time in foster care helped her become the woman she is today, Emily said: “For many years I was on the destructive path and I think what I learned from being a child in foster care was that I was ‘no good. enough.

“Nobody wanted me and even though that wasn’t true, that’s how I felt.

“When I realized, actually, this is as far from the truth as you can get, it helped me see everything and everyone in a new light, I took resilience from it.”

And Emily is making sure her kids get everything she never had growing up, especially her youngest daughter, 11-year-old Moo, who is known as the “billionaire’s daughter.”

She previously told Fabulous: “My daughter’s favorite thing to wear is her Yeezy 350 sneakers.

“She has a special collection of designer handbags and fine jewelry, most of which are family heirlooms.

“She loves bags and knows them so much that she buys them when she spends time in the store.

“She loves being involved in the business and is now very interested in designer fashion.”
