Love Island's Laura Anderson linked to The Bachelor's Alex Marks

They looked VERY cosy together

Author: William MarriottPublished 23rd Sep 2019

Love Island's Laura Anderson and The Bachelor's Alex Marks have sparked rumours that they are dating, after putting on a cosy display at the Creme de la Creme Ball on Saturday (21st September).

Laura arrived at the ball, which is hosted by The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Dawn Ward, arm in arm with the TV hunk, whilst dressed in a stunning, tight red gown.

The reality TV stars, who have not officially confirmed their romance, joined the likes of fellow Love Island contestant Gabby Allen, reality TV QUEEN Gemma Collins and Waterloo Road actress Denise Welch at the event, which raises money for the children's charity Caudwell Children.

Laura's latest 'relationship' comes after she called it quits and split from Love Island 2015 winner Max Morley.

The pair were dating on and off for the past year and had been plagued with rumours of splitting throughout their whole time together.

Last Christmas Max took to social media to slam reports of them splitting. On an Instagram story, he wrote, 'Just want to say a few words regarding stories released today!! Whoever the person is calling up the tabloids please to get a life it's embarrassing! Just hows how stories can be fake news!'

He added, 'Me and Laura had a fantastic holiday in Barbados and are very much looking forward to Christmas! We would like to keep our relationship as private as possible to stop stories like this being written! But to clarify me and Laura are good, Merry Christmas.'

We hope Laura has finally found love!

Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland (2016): STILL TOGETHER

Olivia and Alex were one of our absolute fave couples from Love Island's second season buuut, fun fact, they didn't actually couple up until almost three weeks in 👀.
They're now married and literally as strong as ever. We like to live vicariously through them, to be honest.

Dom Lever and Jess Shears (2017): STILL TOGETHER

Jess was Love Island season three's 'bombshell' walk-in, and stole Dom from fellow Islander Montana Brown.
Turns out, it was a smart decision because, these days, Jess and Dom are SO together, in fact, they got 'married' on Good Morning Britain on Valentine's Day 2017. They then got, y'know, properly married. And THEN, they welcomed a baby boy, aww.

Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow (2017): STILL TOGETHER

An absolute success story of Love Island 2017, Jamie and Camilla and Jamie are still the cutest of couples and, to top it all off, they're engaged and THEY'VE ONLY HAD A BLOODY BABY.

Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague: STILL TOGETHER

They faced an obstacle when Maura entered the villa and turned Tommy's head but he decided to stick with Molly-Mae and the rest is history...
They surprisingly came runner up during the Love Island 2019 final but they're still very much happily in a relationship and they now live together in a PLUSH apartment in Manchester.

Paige Turley and Finn Tapp (2020): TOGETHER

Paige and Finn coupled up as soon as Finn entered the house as the one of the first boy bombshells and stayed thick as thieves throughout the whole series without even a hint of head turn.
They've made things work on the outside, spending coronavirus lockdown at Paige's family home in Scotland, and have recently moved to Manchester. Finn's even been talking about proposing 👀.

Siânnise Fudge and Luke Trotman (2020): TOGETHER

Despite Siânnise struggling at the start thanks to her love rival Rebecca Gormley, Luke did eventually couple up with Siânnise and they remained together the whole time.


They spent coronavirus lockdown in Luton with Luke's fam and have recently moved into a flat in the capital. They've even bought a puppy together.

Callum Jones and Molly Smith: TOGETHER

Callum broke the heart of fan favourite Shaughna Phillips when he returned to the main villa from Casa Amor with Molly. But the new couple turned out to be super sweet.
Back in the UK, they are still going strong and, in November 2020, the pair moved in together.

Nas Masood and Eva Zapico: TOGETHER

The nation WASN'T pleased when Nas returned from Casa Amor with Eva, leaving Demi single, and the couple were the next to be booted.


Despite spending lockdown apart, they met up (at a safe distance!) throughout the pandemic and have gone official with their relationship. From the looks of it, the pair have even moved in together.

Katie Salmon and Adam Maxwell (2016): SPLIT

Adam claimed he was '100 percent single' shortly after leaving the villa and, um, that was that. #Kadam; gone but never forgotten.

Rykard Jenkins and Rachel Fenton (2016): SPLIT

At least they lasted 18 months. Not bad going...

Scott Thomas and Kady McDermott (2016): SPLIT

Scott and Kady managed a year before splitting in 2017.

Malin Andersson and Terry Walsh (2016): SPLIT

He did date fellow Love Island-er Emma-Jane Woodhams eight months in actual real life before calling it a day. AH WELL.

Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville (2017): SPLIT

Gabby dumped Marcel after he was apparently caught cheating as they holidayed TOGETHER. Blimey.

Sam Gowland and Georgia Harrison (2017): SPLIT

Sam seems to be doing alright for himself on Geordie Shore, so we don't think he's too gutted.

Olivia Attwood and Chris Hughes (2017): SPLIT

The couple were plagued with cheating rumours throughout their relationship (who can forget that whole Chris Hughes and Katie Price debacle?). Since their ITVBe show Crackin' On ended, Olivia's confirmed she's back with ex-boyfriend Bradley Dack and they're now engaged.

Tyla Carr and Jonny Mitchell (2017): SPLIT

Oh it was never gonna last, was it?

Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies (2017): SPLIT

The Love Island 2017 winners split in December 2017; five months after the finale.
That said, a cheeky TikTok like has us thinking the pair might be reuniting in 2021...

Montana Brown and Alex Beattie (2017): SPLIT

These two split just weeks after returning to the UK. Sad times.

Sam Bird and Georgia Steel: SPLIT

You know how this one went. Sam accused Georgia of cheating on him with her ex, which she denied. It's safe to say they didn't split on the best of terms.

Zara McDermott and Adam Collard: SPLIT

Zara and Adam called it quits at the beginning of 2019. WAH. She's now dating Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson.

Megan Barton-Hanson and Wes Nelson: SPLIT

Megan and Wes did move in together, but announced their split in January 2019 following rumours Wes was getting close to Dancing on Ice partner Vanessa Bauer. Uh oh.

Josh Denzel and Kaz Crossley: SPLIT

Josh and Kaz announced their split in February 2019, with Kaz saying, "Sometimes things don't go the way you planned, but you have to be grateful for the journey. Thank you for everything especially showing me how to love myself again."

Samira Mighty and Frankie Foster: SPLIT

Frankie reportedly cheated on Samira and that was that. Done. Over. thank u, next.

Laura Anderson and Paul Knops: SPLIT

There's no bad blood between Laura and Paul, but they split just months after making it to the final of the show.

Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer: SPLIT

Dani released a statement via Instagram Stories (how very 2018) announcing the winning 2018 couple had SPLIT, before they got back together just days later. Hmm.


However fast forward to April 2019 and Jack announced they'd split. Dani's had a baby boy with partner Sammy Kimmence and Jack became a dad in 2020.

Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea: SPLIT

Amber and Greg were together for less than two weeks but managed to win over the nation and Love Island 2019. But before they could even make things official they split, with Greg reportedly dumping Amber by text.

Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard: SPLIT

Probably one of the most shocking Love Island recouplings was definitely Maura and Curtis. Against all odds the pair made it to the final and weeks after leaving the villa they became an official couple.


They lasted eight months before splitting, with Maura linked to her Dancing on Ice co star and reports they'd been keeping up a 'showmance' for months.


Maura HAD been dating fellow islander Chris Taylor, but earlier this month, the pair announced they'd called their relationship quits.

India Reynolds and Ovie Soko: SPLIT

Ovie and India have definitely been the most successful bombshells of all time. The basketball player entered the villa during Casa Amor and India joined the show just weeks before the final. Needless to say, we were obsessed with them but they've since called it quits.

Belle Hassan and Anton Danyluk: SPLIT

Belle and Anton just missed out on the Love Island final and didn't seem to be spending a whole lot of time together back in the UK. Sure enough they split after five weeks, with Belle reportedly freaked out by his Craig David obsession. There's since been speculation that they'll reunite but nothing came of it.

Harley Brash and Chris Taylor: SPLIT

Despite being latecomers to the Love Island villa, Harley and Chris won the public over - even after their drama following the Sidebar of Shame challenge. Two weeks after leaving the villa they called it quits and Chris then started dating Maura (spoiler: they've now broken up, too)

Jourdan Riane and Danny Williams: SPLIT

Jourdan and Danny left the villa shortly after the Casa Amor stint and after confirming they were in a relationship they moved in together. However in October, Jourdan ended their relationship following reports Danny was partying with random women.

Joanna Chimonides and Michael Griffiths: SPLIT

Michael left us - and the villa - shook when he decided to recouple with Joanna, leaving Amber single. Despite the awkwardness, Michael and Joanna seemed to kind of be working - until she was dumped from the island and then he said he still has feelings for Amber. He was then dumped from the villa and Joanna was then spotted 'kissing' Michael at a festival. Michael has since sparked rumours that he's recoupled with another Casa Amor star.

Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt: SPLIT

Lucie and Joe had a rough time in the Love Island villa, especially after the sandwich maker was accused of "gaslighting" his other half. Post villa they revisited their relationship back in the UK but split in late 2019.
Lucie is now dating Love Island 2020's Luke Mabbott.

Demi Jones and Luke Mabbot: SPLIT

Luke and Demi were the shock last minute couple who made it to the final after their respective rollercoaster rides in the villa.


They lasted a valiant four months but spending lockdown apart meant they were the first to split in June.


Luke is now dating Love Island 2019 star Lucie.

Ched Uzor and Jess Gale: SPLIT

Jess was left heartbroken when her twin, Eve, was the first to be dumped from the villa and struggled to form a connection with any of the lads - until Ched showed up during Casa Amor.


They made it to fourth place but split due to being separated during lockdown.

Connor Durman and Sophie Piper: SPLIT

Connor and Sophie were an original couple but when Connor was dumped from the villa and Sophie didn't follow, the future became uncertain.


They did hook up again after arriving back in the UK but never went official and last featured on each others' social media back in February.

Mike Boteng and Priscilla Anyabu: SPLIT

Despite surviving a worldwide coronavirus pandemic together, the pair called it a day in June 2021, just over a year after they met.

Lucinda Strafford and Aaron Francis : SPLIT

Lucinda left viewers shook when she moved on from Brad McClelland just two days after he sacrificed his place in the villa for her. Aaron and Lucinda were together for a couple of weeks before they found themselves dumped from the island following a public vote.
Plot twist though, just 72 hours after landing back in Blighty, Lucinda announced that she and Aaron were just friends. She was then pictured holding hands with BRAD on a night out in Brighton, declaring that it 'was early days'. BLIMEY
