Harriett Blackmore, the couple’s double dating to other islanders, and her career, Harriett Blackmore, the Love Island star, recently discussed her relationship with Ronnie Vint in the Mirror.
Former Love Island star Harriett Blackmore has shared updates on her romance with Ronnie Vint. She’s spoken about them taking their relationship to the next level after All Stars and going on double dates with celebrity pals.
Harriett, 24, met Ronnie, 28, on the ITV2 show last summer. They began a relationship at the time but just months after they left the villa it was announced that they had split up. They rekindled their romance earlier this year though after having reunited on the latest series of spin-off All Stars.
The pair have officially come together since Ronnie’s second engagement in February, with Harriett last month proposing to be Ronnie’s girlfriend. He has also spent time with her family since the two of them have reconciled, she added.
Harriett shared updates on their relationship whilst speaking to the Mirror earlier this week. She teased in the interview that it feels “completely different” with Ronnie now, compared to when the couple were together months ago.
She stated, “Me and Ronnie are fantastic. I’m just enjoying the new man because he’s completely changed this time. She continued, “Even though it’s the second time, it kind of feels like the first of how it actually should have been.”
When asked if it feels like they have taken their relationship to a whole new level and are in a different stage of it than they did last time, Harriett replied, “Yes, definitely, and I just feel like y’know, before we were together but we didn’t have the boyfriend and girlfriend label. She continued, “I believe it to be a significant deal.” That path was never actually taken by us. We are now our girlfriend and our partner. It’s just completely different, to be honest. But I adore it”!
After their first visit to Love Island, Harriett said she “struggled” being with Ronnie outside the villa. She claimed that being forced to navigate a “new relationship” and a “new job” were “overwhelming” enough without first having to deal with a “new environment” and “new job.”
She continued, “We’ve both been there, so it’s now much more enjoyable.” It has already been done. We are fairly aware of what public and work-related aspects of things to expect. So we’re now just like “y’know letting that happen,” and then we’re just focusing on our relationship.
During our interview, Harriett revealed that the couple have been on double dates with the likes of All Stars winners Gabby Allen, 33, and Casey O’Gorman, 28. She shared that they are also close with fellow islanders Luca Bish, 25, Grace Jackson, 26, Sammy Root, 23, and Elma Pazar, 32.
She stated, “We’ve had a few double dates with Casey and Gabs,” referring to the dynamic between the recent All Stars’ cast.” Because we were undoubtedly friends before, Grace and Luca are very close. We also have a very close relationship with Sammy and Elma. We actually communicate with everyone.
She said, “We just have fun! We just have fun!” and offered more information on double-dating. We all seem to have similar interests and interests, and we all get along really well. It’s just nice to have conversations outside the villa where no one is speaking to you and says, “You can’t say this, you can’t say that,” etc.
Being able to socialize with Casey and Gabby outside of the villa is “more relaxed,” according to Harriett. In a recent interview, she teased that it allows islanders to “have a good time” and relax.
She also revealed in the interview that her and Ronnie have been out with his pals Olivia Attwood, 33, and her husband Bradley Dack, 31. Harriett shared that they had a “really fun” time after filming Olivia’s So Wrong It’s Right podcast.
When questioned about whether the two couples had gone on double dates, she responded, “We have! We left that evening after the podcast. Really enjoyable, I must say. Ronnie always praises them both, and [the] first time because we were both so busy, I didn’t really get to meet them properly, but now it is, and it’s really nice.
Elsewhere in the interview, Harriett teased that she would like to work with Ronnie in the future. She’s also open to following in the footseps of her close pal Saffron Barker, 24, who competed on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2019.
When asked if she would consider doing the BBC show, dancer Harriett said: “I would love to do say Strictly or a Dancing On Ice sort of thing.” She then added: “Y’know never say never but yeah it’s definitely like one of my goals.”
Harriett stated that while working on her career, she wants to work with Ronnie, but that she is also interested in “those kinds of shows.” She stated, “Possibly, I’d like to do something with Ronnie.” similar to us two. However, I would definitely participate in [the like dancing]shows] for myself. She made a joke about how “I would never ever do the Love Island]shows again.”
