Love Island stars Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and Jordan Odofin confirm they are officially dating.
The TV personalities entered the villa days apart and were able to get to know each other thanks to Love Island ’s sister show, Aftersun.
They pursued a romance after messaging each other simultaneously and were later seen enjoying a romantic meal at Aqua Kyoto in London’s Soho.
Zara, 25, and Jordan, 28, recently appeared in the latest episode of Reality on YouTube with host Will Njobvu.
When asked whether the speculation on their relationship is true, Jordan answered: "Yeah. We're dating... we're dating.
"I already said to her that it felt like I knew her. Meeting up, the energy was still the same as what I saw on the show."
Zara added that they kept messaging each other and "couldn't stop talking".
"He's my type to a T on the outside world, here we are. The connection was just there," she added.
"It's just a shame because we spoke a lot about the show and how it would be nice if we were matched on the show. These things happen, it is a TV show."
Last month, the pair admitted they felt "robbed" for not meeting on air despite being perfect for each other on paper.
Zara told the Sunday People : “They [the producers] knew Jordan was my type before I even walked in.
"I left the villa thinking my dream man doesn’t exist, and days after Jordan arrives. I understand they have storylines to follow but I deserved to find love.”
Senior HR adviser Jordan expected to couple up with Zara in South African villa only to find she had already jetted back to the UK.
He said: “Before going in I was asked for my top three and I said Zara was my number one, so naturally I was looking for her. It made my villa experience very different – I was in a friendship couple the whole time.”
Speaking about their first date in Aqua Kyoto, Zara revealed Jordan was the perfect "gentleman".
She said: "He got me a taxi there and back and paid for the meal. I obviously don’t expect guys to do that but it was really nice of him."
