Frankie Sims, a former TOWIE star, was open to turning 30 and excited about the possibility of getting married to her handsome boyfriend Billy, among other things…
Frankie Sims is striding into her thirties with a fresh mindset, a new man and zero time for drama. The former TOWIE regular, who has previously dated ex-Love Island star Jack Fincham and footballer Luke Paris, is now loved-up with handsome City boy Billy Jones, 30. She reportedly met him through her friend, one-time Islander Shaughna Phillips.
The pair, who have been dating since May 2024, finally went Instagram official last December. Not only have they already moved in together, they exclusively tell OK!. but they’re also busy planning their future, with Frankie telling us that marriage and babies are on the cards – even if there’s “no timeline”. “I know that it’s what I want for my future,” Frankie says. “When it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen.”

Since shooting to fame alongside her sister, Demi, on The Only Way Is Essex back in 2019, Frankie has been no stranger to reality TV turmoil. From fiery on-screen romances to her and Demi’s explosive fallout with sister Chloe during the second series of their LA-set reality show, House Of Sims, there’s rarely been a dull moment. Here, Frankie, who now runs her own beauty business, tells us why she’s carving out a more peaceful life for her and Billy, and how turning 30 helped her finally find her confidence.
Hello, Frankie! Between you and Billy, things seem to be going very smoothly.
They are ! We recently moved in together, and it’s amazing. We’re now looking to relocate somewhere. We’ll obviously have children and get married after that, but we’re not putting any pressure on ourselves. Although we both know it, there is no set date for when it should occur. There is a lot to do before that!
What about working together as a couple?
Simply put, the relationship seems to be working out really well. I was instantly aware of his identity from the beginning. I felt as though I had the assurance that “Yeah, this is The One.” He makes me feel very secure and joyful because everything is so straightforward. Everything is just settling in as it should.
Do you have any prior relationships with boyfriends?
When you’re in a relationship like this, you realize how completely different it was from my previous ones. However, I’ve incorporated many of the lessons I’ve learned from previous relationships into this relationship. That might be the reason it is working.
Are you quite traditional when it comes to having children first, then getting married?
I’m not at all traditional. I don’t want anyone to be happy with me or for anyone else. Right now, I don’t want to be “this age” when I get married or have children. I firmly believe that everything enters your life at the right moment, and I’ll welcome you with open arms.
What piece of advice would you give to adolescent Frankie if you could?
It’s enough to remain true to who you are and who you are. You lose who you are and lose confidence because you are in your 20s, TV shows, and dealing with things like trolling.
What are your mental health goals?
I enjoy taking time off to enjoy myself. Recently, I’ve been doing something for myself once a month that feels completely at ease and reset. I had a facial massage that included an hour-long lymphatic drainage session last month. I believe I was feeling a lot more relaxed when I left. I also had an amazing experience at a soundbath therapy session. It’s about finding a way to relieve stress from your shoulders by putting life on hold for a second.
How did you actually feel when you turned 30 earlier this year?
I had a lot of fun with it. It’s very dramatic, and I’ve seen people throw funerals, which are typically dreadful. Everyone told me that a decade is about having confidence in yourself and loving who you are, so I was anticipating turning 30. I therefore decided to interpret it as “I’m entering a whole new era, I’m a 30-year-old woman, and this is who I am”!
Tell us about Benny’s 30-year campaign for Frankie &…
We both turned 30 this year, I suppose. Because I used to attend Frankie &, Benny’s in Romford when I was younger, it felt like a full-circle. I discovered my love of food there, and it is now unquestionably my love language. I brought Billy back to the Essex restaurant to see my Love At First Bite choices, which were hilarious to show him.
Food, in our opinion, is a fantastic love language!
Haha, that’s true. I want to show someone that I care about them by providing them with food. I want to prepare meals for them, or I want to go out and try new foods or experiences.
