Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has confirmed her relationship with dog food entrepreneur Christopher East on Instagram after dating in secret for nine months. The couple, both 31, shared a heartfelt reunion moment as Christopher returned from a trip to Australia, with Ekin-Su greeting him with a romantic sign. Their relationship comes after Ekin-Su’s past romance with Georges Berthonneau, which ended controversially when she entered Love Island: All Stars and coupled up with Curtis Pritchard.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu , the 31-year-old Love Island star, has made her relationship with entrepreneur Christopher East official on Instagram after reportedly dating in secret for nine months.
The couple, both 31, have been keeping their romance under wraps until now, with Ekin-Su making her first appearance on Christopher’s Instagram Stories on Friday. Christopher, who co-founded Rude Dog Food with his brother Patrick—a company specializing in raw dog food for 'optimal canine nutrition'—shared a heartfelt snap of Ekin-Su welcoming him home from a trip to Australia.
The image featured a sign that read, 'Three weeks without you, showed me how much of my heart is yours... welcome home Mr Science!
' Christopher captioned the post, 'It's good to be home. ' The couple’s relationship was first reported by The Sun, which claimed they had been dating for nine months but chose to keep it private until recently. Their affectionate display was further highlighted when they were spotted dancing together at a charity ball last month. Ekin-Su’s relationship history has been a topic of interest, particularly her past with Georges Berthonneau, whom she dated before entering Love Island: All Stars.
Georges claimed they were in love and had planned a future together, even spending Boxing Day exchanging gifts just 18 days before she joined the show. However, Ekin-Su’s time on the ITV2 series led to a public romance with Curtis Pritchard, which Georges described as a 'painful betrayal.
' Ekin-Su responded to Georges’ claims with a TikTok video, where she danced to Lady Gaga’s 'Paparazzi' with the caption, 'It's giving obsessed,' seemingly mocking his accusations. Georges revealed that he and Ekin-Su had a 10-month romance, during which they exchanged pet names and spent time with each other’s families. He described their relationship as 'super intense and intimate,' but said it ended when Ekin-Su pursued her relationship with Curtis on the show.
Ekin-Su, who first won Love Island in 2022 with ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti, returned to the show for its All Stars edition, telling her 4.3 million followers, 'I know I said I was done with Love Island, but here I am, fully invested again. The drama, the chaos, the questionable decisions, I just can't stay away.
' Her new relationship with Christopher East marks a fresh chapter in her personal life, as the couple continues to share glimpses of their romance on social media
