Even though Alex Beattie appeared on the iconic 2017 series of Love Island that aired almost five years ago, we’ve always had a soft spot for him.

How can you blame us? His body transformation over the years has been insane and we are in complete and utter AWE.

Although Alex has taken a step back from the public eye (he now works as a personal trainer), he has delighted fans by confirming his new relationship with girlfriend Caroline O'Mahony.

In new Instagram snaps celebrating Valentines Day, Alex paid tribute to his Irish boo, simply writing, “I love you ❤️ @caroline_omahony.”

Caroline seems to be into fitness just like Alex and is also a personal trainer. They’re made for each other.

Alex’s followers flocked to the comments to share their excitement, with one writing, “Dammmn that’s a good looking couple !! 😍😍😍💕💕🙌🏽✨✨.”

Another commented, “U cuties 🥰😍❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Happy for u!”
