Love Island star Hayley Hughes has announced her engagement to a mystery partner, sharing photos of her huge ring as well as her adorable son Cody
A former Love Island star has announced her engagement.
Hayley Hughes has shared a collection of glamorous proposal photographs from Dubai on Instagram, showcasing her stunning engagement ring.
The blonde bombshell appeared on the fourth series of the ITV2 reality programme in 2018, which saw Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham crowned winners.
She captioned the post: “12/12 – my forever love. I love you so much.”
Hayley has chosen to maintain her partner’s privacy by cleverly cropping his face from photographs and avoiding any social media tags, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Her son Cody, born in 2023, features in the images, with one touching moment showing Hayley’s fiancé cradling the youngster.
Unsurprisingly, Hayley’s announcement has sparked an avalanche of congratulatory messages from her supporters.
Rosie Williams, who starred alongside Hayley in the same Love Island series, commented: “Congratulations my girl! So happy for you.”
Fellow Islander Liberty Poole, from series seven, simply added: “Congratulations”.
One fan gushed: “Omg huge congratulationsssss. The ringgg. The flowerssssss.”
Another enthused: “Ahhh best news ever! ! So happy for you, wifey era pending.”
Hayley entered Love Island as an original islander in 2018, but following unsuccessful romantic pursuits with Eyal Brooker – who memorably declared “I’m not your hun, hun” – and Charlie Brake, she departed the villa.
Following her Love Island exit, she embarked on a relationship with DJ Tom Zanetti, even appearing in one of his music videos, though their romance concluded after seven months. As 2023 kicked off, Hayley penned a post about spending “another year” with her enigmatic beau.
In a chat with RadioTimes.com following her villa exit, Hayley reflected: “I did really think that Eyal was a bit full on with Megan [Barton Hanson] so soon and he wouldn’t really let Alex [George] have a chance to get to know and speak to her.”
She added: “Obviously I feel like I genuinely am Team Alex in every way because I genuinely want him to meet someone that he has a connection with, because he does have low confidence and things.”
Love Island is available to stream on ITVX
