It’s only been a few months since the latest series of Love Island came to an end, but the couples from the show have been dropping like flies.
Joey Essex confirmed he’d split from Love Island 2024 girlfriend Jessy Potts earlier this week, while Jess White and Hugo Godfroy, Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins, Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint and finalist Matilda Draper and Sean Stone have all called in quits since returning to the outside world.
But, amongst all the chaos, one couple who are very much still going strong are runners-up Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies. In fact, the pair are even thinking about taking another huge step in their relationship after moving in together.
Nicole was taking part in a recent Instagram Q&A when she teased that she and Ciaran were thinking about expanding their brood – and no, we’re not talking about babies just yet.
One of her followers asked, ‘Would you and Ciaran ever get a dog together?’, to which she replied, ‘I think Bonnie would love a little sister.
‘@ciarandaviesss what do you think?’
Ciaran then reposted Nicole’s story and added, ‘Could be the next step who knows…’
Nicole is already a dog mama to her pet pooch Bonnie, but if her and Ciaran’s latest posts are anything to go by, they could be adding another member to their household.
Ciaran and Nicole revealed they’d moved in together in a post-villa interview with heatworld, although they hadn’t been able to spend much time in their joint home when we spoke to them.
Nicole exclusively told heat, ‘So, we have moved in together. Ciaran's moved in to my home,’ while Ciaran added, ‘Yes, I've moved in to Nicole's house.’
‘Except we haven't been home, we've been hotel hopping. We technically haven't actually lived in the house yet because we're still up in London and my home's in Wales,’ Nicole continued. ‘So he has moved in, but we haven't experienced living in our home.’
It seems that the big move actually didn’t take much consideration as Ciaran explained, ‘We'd spoken about moving in with each other, and I think it was about three or fours before we left for London that we thought, “might as well”, so yeah, I haven't actually been there.’
