Over the past few weeks there have been rumours of a new TOWIE romance: Lauren Pope and Jon Clark.
And now it appears the pair have confirmed their relationship - on Jon’s birthday. Lauren posted a pic on Instagram of the two of them posing side by side at the Radio Rooftop Bar in London, captioned “Happy Birthday Baz! @jbclark_”.
Jon replied thanking her, with a LOVE HEART emoji.
Must be love, right?

Fans were quick to comment on how good the pair look together – and even fellow TOWIE star Georgia Kousoulou wrote: “This is so nice.”
There has been speculation that Lauren and Jon have been seeing each other for a while after the two were pictured on dates while filming in Marbella.
A source said: "Lauren and Jon have been enjoying each other’s company in Essex and Marbella. They’ve gone on several dinner dates and have grown close during filming.”
They added: "The rest of the cast think they’re really well suited and even Jon’s brother Chris approves of their blossoming relationship."

Jon previously dated Love Island’s Chloe Crowhurst – and claimed she went on Love Island despite the fact that they were still together.
Chloe has said she doesn’t think Jon and Lauren will last because it’s “not real.”

Lauren on the other hand is most famous for her romances with fellow TOWIE stars Kirk Norcross and Lewis Bloor.
Recently she admitted she regrets going out with Lewis though – she said: “I don’t live by regrets. It’s not a healthy minded way to life. I probably wouldn’t have gone near Lewis Bloor though!”
