She called him her 'date'

Author: Alex RossPublished 14th Mar 2023

She may have left the villa as a single girl after Casey O’Gorman chose to couple up with Rosie Seabrook, but it looks like another romance could be blossoming for Love Island 2023 star Claudia Fogarty!

That's right! Claudia, who is the daughter of former I'm A Celeb winner Carl Fogarty, has hinted there could be a romance blossoming with Keenan Brand, after the pair were dumped from the villa together.

As Love Island fans will know, bombshell Keenan was happy to help Claudia try and win back Casey during his short time in the villa, with the pair striking up a lovely friendship, but if Claudia's latest post is anything to go by, could things be turning into more?

Ahead of the final on Monday (13th March) night, Claudia attended a party in London alongside the likes of Olivia Attwood, Olivia Hawkins, and Keenan, who she called her 'date' in a cute mirror selfie together.

Earlier in the day, Claudia shared a video in the back of a taxi with Keenan, writing: 'Winding you up is my favourite thing ever'. (sic)

The professional rugby player then continued the flirty banter on his own page, re-sharing the video with the words: 'Ya dead funny ha ha'. (sic)

Check out which Love Island stars dated cast members from other series:

Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan

In July 2020, Winter Love Island star Luke Mabbott and Love Island 2019 star Lucie Donlan announced they were dating! The pair grew close during lockdown and in July then enjoyed a lovely little UK getaway together!


Luke M's Love Island BFF Luke T told the Mail Online, "I was asking him about it for weeks but he just told me last weekend. He's been cool, I think they're well suited and I'm happy for them. Hopefully they last."


Well, the pair certainly have lasted! They continue to flood social media on the daily with cute snaps together, looking VERY loved-up.

Wes Nelson and Arabella Chi

Despite leaving the Love Island 2018 villa with Megan Barton-Hanson, the pair split in March 2019, with 2019 Islander Arabella Chi catching Wes' eye on the show.


When Arabella left the villa, the pair enjoyed a number of dates before going official in August 2019.


Although the pair moved in together, just nine months after they went official, reports suggested that Wes and Arabella had split in April 2020.

Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell

Following Love Island 2018 star Kaz Crossley's split from fellow Islander Josh Denzel, Kaz started dating 2017 star Theo Campbell.


The couple made things official and later attended events together, enjoyed a number of holidays and looking very loved-up.

Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell

In August 2019, Kaz proved her love for her man by flying out to Ibiza after Theo lost the sight in his right eye following an accident involving a champagne cork.


Admitting how 'proud' she was of his bravery following the accident, Kaz wrote, 'It's been a hard 24 hours no one here speaks English and he was taken for hours at one point and I had no clue he was in surgery again. I've stayed in his room over night and just want to take him home. He's so brave and positive hopefully it will get better thanks for your kind messages.'


However, in February 2021, Theo confirmed the pair have now split, admitting he got 'slinged'.

Michael Griffiths and Ellie Brown

Love Island 2019 star Michael Griffiths seemed to confirm he was dating 2018 Ellie Brown after the pair both appeared on Celebrity Ex On The Beach. The former fireman even called Ellie 'the one'.


However, just hours later, Ellie denied the reports, admitting they only posted the photo to promote the show.

Joanna Chimonides and Jack Fowler

After Joanna Chimonides was brutally dumped from the Love Island villa in 2019, fans of the show were left in shock when she was met at the airport by Love Island 2018 hunk Jack Fowler.

Joanna was quick to clear up the rumours, revealing she's been pals with Jack for a number of years.


However, fast forward to August 2024, and Joanna and Jack were spotted looking very cosy on a boat trip in Italy. The pair are yet to confirm if they are dating.

Max Morley and Laura Anderson

Although Max Morley won Love Island 2015 alongside Jessica Hayes, the pair split shortly after leaving the villa and Max more or less removed himself from the spotlight.


That was until he started dating Love Island 2018 star Laura Anderson, with the pair posting cute snaps together on Instagram.

Things all ended in sadness though! Just a few months after enjoying a holiday in Barbados, Laura and Max split amidst cheating fears, with Laura blocking her former beau on Instagram.


Laura went on to date Dane Bowers and Gary Lucy, and now she's a proud mum!

Kendall Rae-Knight and Kem Cetinay

Love Island 2017 winner Kem Cetinay and 2018 Islander Kendall Rae-Knight were spotted on a 'date' in 2021, with the pair even sharing a kiss!


However, speaking to heat on Love Island: Under the Duvet, Kendall revealed the pair were just friends, saying, "Aaaah, yeah, we're just friends."

Antigoni Buxton and Jack Fowler

Antigoni Buxton is in the Love Island 2022 villa now, but before entering she dated 2018 Islander Jack Fowler for a number of months.

It comes after Casey O'Gorman admitted he'd like to apologise to Claudia after the pair were caught up in a love triangle in the villa with Rosie Seabrook.

Following his departure last week, Casey told bosses: "Look, it’s horrible. I know more than anyone what it’s like to be in a triangle situation from when I first arrived and was with Lana. I was really happy with Claudia. I felt it was going so well. But I was never closed off, I never misled Claudia.

"So when Rosie came in, there was that spark that I maybe didn’t have with Claudia. I just wanted to explore whether the personality matched up to my initial attraction. I had to give it two or three days to make that decision.

"So for me, I had to be selfish. I went with who I could see a future with and for me that was Rosie. I hated to see Claudia upset as I really did care for the girl. But I came into this wanting to find someone and I feel like I have found that within Rosie."

Despite Claudia and Keenan's recent activity together, the pair are yet to confirm if they are dating, or if they are just friends.
