Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu Goes Instagram Official With New Love

 Cülcüloğlu has gone Instagram official with hunky dog food entrepreneur Christopher East after reportedly dating in secret for nine months. 

The Love Island star, 31, has been  

Christopher, also 31, shared a snap of the Ekin-Su as he returned from a trip to Australia as she greeted him in the airport with a loved-up welcome sign. 

It read: 'Three weeks without you, showed me how much of my heart is yours... welcome home Mr Science!'. 

Chris captioned the snap: 'It's good to be home'. 

The hunk founded Rude Dog Food with his brother Patrick and the company specialises in raw dog food which is designed for 'optimal canine nutrition'.

First reported by The Sun, the publication claimed the couple have been dating for nine months but chose to keep their relationship private until now.

The couple were spotted putting on a loved-up display as they danced together at a charity ball last month.

Last year Ekin took aim at her ex Georges Berthonneau after he claimed they were dating when she entered Love Island: All Stars.

Daily Mail revealed that Ekin-Su had been dating the MAFS UK star when she went on the ITV dating show, where she met boyfriend Curtis Pritchard, whom she coupled up with in the villa before splitting upon their return to the UK. 

Georges said he believed she loved him until he witnessed her 'painful betrayal' with the dancer.

But Ekin-Su hit back, after she seemingly directed a savage TikTok at her ex.

She shared a TikTok clip of herself in gym gear before removing her running jacket to the backdrop of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi. Winking at the camera, Ekin-Su danced around to the lyrics 'I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me'.

In a further swipe, Ekin-Su captioned the clip: 'It's giving obsessed'.

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, 33, who confirmed the couple's 10-month romance for the first time, claims Ekin betrayed him on national TV when she became Curtis' girlfriend, leaving him devastated.

In an exclusive interview, Georges told Daily Mail 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 says he lived a 'nightmare' for the five weeks Ekin was on the dating show as she passionately kissed Curtis, 30, and performed a seductive routine for him wearing sexy red lingerie during the programme's Heart Rate Challenge.

But after Ekin shunned Georges once All Stars was over, only reaching out to him a week after the final, he finally ended their romance, saying: 'I can't be with someone who has another boyfriend…'

Georges said: 'We were boyfriend and girlfriend from April last year. We were with each other. We spent Boxing Day together.

'She spent time with my family, she came to family events, she met my nephews, sister-in-law, uncles, everyone. I met her mum a couple of times and her brother.

'We said we loved each other after six weeks of dating... I fell in love with the girl. She used to call me Bear and I called her Olive because of her olive skin and that's one of her last messages to me, "I love you, my Bear."

'It was a super, super intense and intimate relationship... We had a lot of intimacy, we were very close, and physically and emotionally we showed each other such love, but she threw everything we had away for her TV romance with Curtis Pritchard.'

Ekin returned to Love Island after first winning the show with ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti in 2022.

She told her 4.3million fanbase: '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.'

But Georges, who first connected with Ekin after she sent him a flirty direct message on Instagram, has claimed she only appeared on the show to boost her career, which he felt obliged to accept.

He has even accused the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant of 'gaslighting' after she allegedly told him not to date any other women during her appearance on Love Island: All Stars, where contestants romance each other on a daily basis.
