Ex on the Beach star Jess Impiazzi confirmed she is dating ex-footballer Jermaine Pennant.
The reality star made an appearance on Access All Areas on FUBAR Radio to talk to Bobby Norris and Stephen Leng to discuss the rumours.
It was previously reported that the 32-year-old and the footie star had been dating 'secretly' for five months, with the two also holidaying together in Tenerife.
When asked if Jermaine had enjoyed the holiday, Jess laughed and joked: "Everyone had a nice time!"
The hosts then pressed her on the reserved response, so she added: "Everything’s going well and I’m happy."
She was previously married to rugby player Denny Solomona but the two went their separate ways in 2018 after she found out he apparently had an affair.
Jess added that she plans to keep her new relationship private as she learnt from her very public divorce.
The star added: "I thought, this is going to be different. I just want to focus on my career and that’s how I’ve kind of kept it. I just want something for me now."
A source had told The Sun about her 'blossoming' relationship earlier this week and said 'things are going well'.
"Jess and Jermaine have been dating since last November and things are going really well," the insider claimed.
"They have both had really public relationships in the past, but are keen to keep this one away from the public eye."
They added: "This holiday has really cemented their relationship and Jess's friends are really pleased to see her so happy."
Jess was once linked to Hemel Hempstead Town player Samir Carruthers after being pictured at the Mulan film premiere in London in 2020.
However, things 'weren't working anymore' and the two decided to split and focus on their careers.

The Celebrity Big Brother star previously opened up about finding out her ex-husband Denny had slept with another woman.
She discovered the heartbreaking news while she was in Australia and struggled to deal with the betrayal.
In 2018, after being married for 15 months, Jess said that she was thinking of starting a family with Denny when she was hit with the devastating revelation.
She immediately packed her bags and spent a few nights in an airport hotel where she took a number of pills and drank alcohol with the hopes of ending her life.
Writing in her book, Jess recalled: "I’d thrown it all away - my career, my happiness, my self-esteem. I’d made such a stupid mistake. I completely blamed myself."
Paramedics and the police later arrived to check on her and she ended up being perfectly fine.
