Love Island's Cara De La Hoyde confesses she and Nathan don't 'really' have sex anymore

Love Island winner Cara De La Hoyde has admitted it's "been a while" since she and her husband Nathan have had sex, as the parents-of-two are so busy.

Cara, 32, won the second season of the show with Nathan Massey, 30, and the pair went on to wed in 2019 and have two children.

The star, who is known for her honesty about family life, says the pair's love life has taken a backseat as they look after their young kids, Freddie and Delilah.

"We don't really have sex, to be honest. We don't do it enough, it's been a while," Cara said.

But the TV star added to Closer magazine the pair are still up for it, it's just about having the time.

"Believe it or not, for a little guy, Nathan's well-trained, and he's very enthusiastic, but it's just finding the time," she said.

Cara added by the time the couple have tucked the kids in and got into bed themselves it's 11pm, and she just wants to go to sleep. She said that many mums feels the same, adding: "they're just so overwhelmed."

Elsewhere in the interview, Cara said she hasn't watched Love Island for years, joking that she doesn't want to kook at 18-year-olds in bikinis.

While the ITV dating show aired in the summer, Cara blasted recent seasons of Love Island as scripted, compared to her tenure in 2016.

On Instagram the reality star shared a throwback snap to her time in the villa, and hit out at how the show has changed over the years.

Cara, who was taking questions from her fans, was asked on social media: "In honour of Love Island being on, was any of your season fake and scripted or was it real."

The business woman wrote in response, on her Insta story: "No ours wasn't at all but things have changed so much since the good old days," finishing with googly eyes and laughing face emojis.

Alongside the question and answer, Cara shared a sweet clip of herself and Nathan in the villa together, talking to someone on a screen, with Cara saying: "I have told him we are going to have kids and go Disneyland when we get out."

The clip was then followed by lots of cute pictures of the pair and their children on holiday in Disneyland, and taking in the sights of the tourist attraction.

Another follower asked Cara if she regretted cutting her long dark tresses into a stylish bob in April, to which she replied: "Nope I love it, so much easier to do myself, it'll be short for a little while longer," followed by a thumbs up emoji.

Cara and Nathan starred in the series alongside Malin Andersson and Olivia and Alex Bowen, who are now married and have a child together.

The couple were paired up on the first episode of the show.
