Curtis is yet to comment on his own social media.
Ekin’s post comes just days after she shared a gushing declaration of love for her boyfriend over on Instagram.
Commenting on one of Curtis’ most recent posts amid the launch of his boxing career she penned: ‘I just want you to know how incredibly proud I am of you.
‘Watching you train so hard and give it your all in that match was amazing…. you were strong, focused, and honestly just unstoppable. Win or lose you’re a champion in my eyes. I love you!’
The pair also put on a loved up display prior to the match after Misfits boxing shared a clip of Ekin planting a kiss on her boyfriend’s lips as he taped up pre fight.
The unlikely couple shocked fans after making their relationship official while in the villa back in January and from the get go they were plagued with rumours their relationship was fake.
Laughing off recent allegations that they’re only in a relationship for the publicity in March, Ekin told The Sun: ‘I’ve got respect for anyone’s opinions.’

She added: ‘I think everyone is entitled to think something and I can understand why they think that, because on the show we are theatrical people and when we come together, it is like a performance.
‘But it’s not a showmance, it’s real. It just feels right. It feels healthy and I am myself.’
Meanwhile it has since been revealed that Ekin was in a secret relationship with Married At First Sight UK’s Georges Berthonneau during her time on Love Island: All Stars.
According to Georges, he and Ekin were in love, but she insisted on signing up to the ITV2 show to further her career.
They agreed she would go no further than ‘kissing’ another Islander during her time on the dating series, of which she was the star signing.
But Georges, 32, who confirmed the couple’s 10-month romance for the first time to MailOnline, claimed Ekin betrayed him on national TV when she became Curtis’ girlfriend, leaving him devastated.
In an exclusive interview, Georges told MailOnline he and Ekin had planned a future together, called each other pet names, holidayed in France during the summer and spent Boxing Day exchanging gifts, just 18 days before she entered the South African villa.
The personal trainer said he lived a ‘nightmare’ for the five weeks Ekin was on the dating show as she passionately kissed Curtis, 29, and performed a seductive routine for him wearing sexy red lingerie during the programme’s Heart Rate Challenge.
