It's safe to say we are totally OBSESSED with KISS presenter Tyler West and Molly Rainford's relationship, with the pair giving us complete couple goals since they started dating after the 2022 series of Strictly Come Dancing,

As well as delighting us with loved-up red carpet appearances, the pair have also enjoyed some GLAM holidays over the past year, and now they are taking the next step in their relationship!

That's right, our very own Tyler has moved in with former EastEnders actress Molly, with the 27-year-old telling the Daily Mail: "We are good and going strong and are actually moving in together - we're just going through, you know dining tables and sofas and all that kind of stuff, it's exciting.

"Molly's turned into a whole interior designer so I'm just taking a complete back seat!"

Tyler and Molly teased the big move back in December, when the pair took part in an interview with HELLO!

Tyler told the publication: “We’ve just bought our first home together. It’s mad to say that but when you know you know… it’s the right time."

23-year-old Molly then added: "We never saw this coming but everyone who meets us says it’s as though we’ve been together forever – and that’s exactly how it feels."

After both appearing on the 2022 series of Strictly Come Dancing, it wasn't until the Strictly tour in January 2023 that they grew close, with Molly revealing things developed towards to end of the tour and progressed from there.

Following dates and spending more time together, the pair announced they were dating in March 2023 and haven't looked back since.
