A former Love Island star has made their new relationship with an EastEnders actress public as they confirm their pairing. Michael Griffiths, 33, and Rukku Nahar, 29, finally made it Instagram official this week after months of speculation.

The duo were spotted on the red carpet together last year but their latest outing has confirmed their status as a couple. Taking to his Instagram Stories, Michael reshared a post where he is giving the actress a peck on the cheek as she smiles.

The image is paired with Tems’ tune, Love Me JeJe. It came as the pair enjoyed the boxing on Saturday night as Oleksandr Usyk brutally dispatched of Daniel Dubois to remain undisputed heavyweight champion.

Michael’s team members were seen enjoying the occasion at Wembley Stadium in a number of photos on his grid. The former Islander is seen embracing his partner as she beams in the first scene.

He also shared a photo of the pair taking their own selfies in a cute coupling. And his final reel photo of the pair posing for a picture together while their arms spanned each other’s waists was captured in his reel.

Her first official fight night was the post’s caption, according to Michael. What a night it was, and a lot more adventures ahead.

The followers were quick to react to the official relationship announcement. Among them was former Love Island pal Liam Reardon, who simply put two flame emojis. Fellow islander Josh Denzel also replied with only emojis, typing to clapping hand emojis.

Laura Jay Vaughan, the star of MAFS, also said, “I love you both so much. She added a character with love hearts for eyes and an emoji of a love heart.

The Venom: The Last Dance premiered in the UK first as a couple last year. They posed for photos together as a pair at the time, but they never got a chance to confirm their relationship status.

Rukku and Michael had not acknowledged their relationship at the time, and neither of them had shared their social media accounts. However, Michael was spotted leaving flirtatious comments under some of Rukku’s Instagram posts during the preparation.

Rukku is best known for playing the role of Habiba Ahmed in Walford, despite the fact that Michael made a name for himself in ITV2 dating show series five. Michael was tasked with producing one of the show’s most memorable love triangles, which entailed a TV drama in his series.

He abruptly swapped out Joanna Chimonides for Amber Gill at the time. Before it ended, his relationship with Joanna only lasted a short while after Villa.
