Love Island's Laura Anderson opens up on potential family plans with boyfriend in Dubai

Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has spoken about plans for a potential family with boyfriend Dane Bowers.

Laura, 33, took part in the fourth season of the hit ITV2 show, which returns to our screens on June 6, but was unlucky in love despite finishing as runner-up alongside Paul Knops, behind winners Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer.

Their relationship only lasted a few months after leaving the Majorca villa but Laura has had more success since returning to Dubai, where she lived before joining the popular programme.

Laura worked as a flight attendant for Emirates Airline for over ten years, during which, she had a relationship with Dane, 42, which abruptly ended and resulted in her appearance on Love Island.

However, Dane and Laura rekindled their romance last year after signing up for MTV reality TV show Ex on the Beach and decided to give their relationship another shot.

The couple moved in together in Dubai in September, with the influencer insisting that they are "the best they’ve ever been".

As they look into the future, Laura spoke about the possibility of raising a family and marriage with the Another Level singer.

She told OK! : "I’m pretty easy, but Dane’s quite set on staying in Dubai.

"Work wise and stuff, if there were any opportunities that would have either of us in the UK for a longer period of time, then I feel like we can be quite flexible.

"I’m happy with Dane and we’ve got quite flexible jobs, but I think for now, my sister’s here and I’ve got family and it’s really good for kids, so I’m quite happy to be [in Dubai].

In December, Laura lifted the lid on her relationship with Dane, explaining why she got back with him despite him seeing someone else behind her back.

The two met in 2017 and instantly clicked but it turned out, at the beginning of their blossoming romance, Dane was seeing someone else at the same time.

"We were dating for six months when I found out he was seeing someone else," she explained. "We weren’t in a relationship at that point, and we never said we were exclusive, but I was disappointed, so I confronted him and ended it."

Laura then went on Love Island and met Paul, but things ended when she heard rumours that he had a secret girlfriend.

"I never thought I’d be able to trust Dane again, but I trust him more than anyone I’ve ever been with – even people who haven’t cheated," she said to The Sun.

"We’ve looked at engagement rings and we’re trying to have a baby, but it can take ages to conceive," Laura added.

Back in September, Laura and Dane shut down claims that they were no longer together.

Laura shared a snap of her and her singer boyfriend and captioned the image: "Me making him do quarantine with me again!"
