Former Love Island beauty Jessica Hayes has found love again, eight months on from her "devastating" split from fiancé.
The stunning star got engaged to Dan Lawry last spring – a joyous event that came six months after the couple lost their second child to a late miscarriage at 19 weeks – a little boy named Teddy.
After losing Teddy and then splitting from Dan, the 28-year-old has since gone on a complete lifestyle overhaul in a bid to get healthier and happier.
Losing weight, getting breast enlargement surgery and getting her old hair back – Jess seems happier than ever in her interview new! magazine, where she also revealed that she is now dating a new mystery man.
She told the publication that she feels like the "old Jess again – but a better version," which is all down to being a healthy weight and focusing on herself for the first time in a long time.
In October the star started an eating plan called MuscleFood, which has seen her shed a substantial amount of weight – seeing Jess go from 12st 7lbs to a slender 9st 7lbs.
Revealing some information about her new beau, Jess told new! magazine that it's still early days and the whole thing was "very unexpected."
"It’s going well. I’m happy, I’m in a good place. But I feel like I don’t want to say too much at the moment because it’s such early days," she told the magazine.
Not ready to reveal how they met, she said that it seems like things "were meant to be" before explaining that she has got "a good feeling" about her new romance.
When she split from her fiancé she spoke to new! magazine again, when she explained that the whole ordeal had been "really difficult" to process, but she was trying to remain positive going forward.
"At first I found it really difficult. It was hard to get my head around it," she told new! magazine.
"If you'd asked me this time last year, I never would have expected this ... you don't expect everything to unravel so quickly."
"To lose a baby and the person you thought you were going to have more children with and get married to, it's been a bit of a shock really."
At the time, Jess didn't rule out getting back together – but it seems that this is now completely ruled out since the stunning star has a new beau in tow.
But despite having a new love in her life, Jess still shares son Presley with Dan, and the pair co-parent their little tot.
Speaking to new! magazine, Jess lifted the lid on co-parenting with her ex-fiancé.
She told the publication: "I can’t lie, it’s not been easy. But I know I’m better off on my own and do feel happier that way. But it has been hard at times. We are getting there."
Jess then gave a glimpse into how their son is coping with it all, explaining that she thinks he's adjusted quite well.
She added: "When I drop him at nursery or he gets picked up [by Dan], I miss him. Everything is so quiet and I’m like, 'Oh my gosh!' – it’s very strange. But it is also nice to have my own time. It’s hard, but I’m hoping it will get easier over time."
