Nathan from MAFS UK and Abi from Love Island are now dating 😲
The pair have gone Instagram official
At one point last year, it had looked like Nathan Campbell and Lacey Martin were going to be the only success story from series nine of Married At First Sight UK, with them being the only pair to still be together during the first reunion show.
HOWEVER, things quickly took a sour turn for the pair, with Nathan shockingly accusing Lacey of wanting a 'showmance' during the second MAFS reunion at the end of February, something Lacey's sister didn't take kindly to on TikTok.
Well, fast-forward a few weeks from then, and now it looks like Nathan has found love with another reality star, in the former of Love Island series 10 Islander Abi Moores.
In the reality TV cross-over nobody saw coming, Nathan and Abi have now gone Instagram official with their romance...
Appearing in a video where she drags Nathan into camera shot, Abi told her followers: 'You guys figured it out 😂🤷♀️ Cats out the bag'. (sic)
Fans of the pair were heavily speculating earlier this month when Abi confirmed she was dating somebody. Although she didn't reveal the man in question's identity at the time, Abi then uploaded a snap of herself holding hands with a mystery man in a spa, with fans recognising Nathan's bracelet.
After seeing the new video, a number of Abi and Nathan's co-stars and fans were quick to comment.
MAFS UK star Hannah Norburn wrote: 'Yayyyy!!! So happy for you both 😍😍', with a fan writing: 'What a good looking couple 😍🔥❤️ Look great together xx'. (sic)
Another the commented: 'Yay, Love it Abi. So happy for you both. 🥰', with somebody else adding: 'So happy for you both ❤️'.
Meanwhile, whilst Nathan appeared on the 2024 series of MAFS UK, we first saw Abi on our screens looking for love during the 10th series of Love Island in 2024. Abi coupled up with Messy Mitch before ending on bad terms after Mitch's head turned for bombshell Ella Barnes. Abi then went on to couple up with Scott van-der-Sluis, but the pair later decided to just be friends after leaving the villa.
Following Mitch's split from Ella, a number of fans speculated if he'd reunited with Abi, after the pair were spotted together at a number of events, but nothing materialised.
But now it looks like Abi is happy dating Nathan!
