Love Island's Ron Hall says he struggles "to be apart" from girlfriend Lana Jenkins, but the pair won't move in together just yet.
After a bumpy ride at the start of the Winter 2023 series, the pair, both 25, settled down and came second, beaten to the £50,000 prize by Kai Fagan and Harrianan.
Since leaving the villa, the couple appears to have remained strong, sharing sweet selfies and even a video of them getting ready together for a date night, on Instagram.
They were recently spotted looking loved up at a Pretty Little Thing event, attended by a bunch of fellow islanders and influencers, and two weeks ago Lana shared a picture of the pair curled up on a sofa, wearing matching tracksuits.
And Ron, who lives in Essex, says the pair have only spent six days apart since leaving the South African villa on March 13.
Speaking to MailOnline, Ron said: "I struggle to be apart from her. We’ve only spent six days apart since coming out.
"Our end goal is to move in together but at the minute we want to be able to buy our own places and then eventually move in together."
While the pair seem to be going from strength to strength, rumours flew they were in trouble before they even landed back in the UK, after the Love Island final, amid reports they had an argument on the flight.
It was claimed ITV producers were forced to get involved after the makeup artist and financial advisor became embroiled in a heated row.
However, the couple have since "set the record straight" on what happened between them.
Answering fan questions for Cosmopolitan, Ron read: "Have you seen any rumours about yourself that you'd like to set straight?"
Lana answered: "There was a rumour that we had an argument on the plane, but really Ron got drunk on the plane."
"I had a great flight," Ron joked.
Lana added: "I looked after him, so I wouldn't say it was an argument, I would say that I literally had to look after him like a baby."
"Yeah, I was a pain in the a**e, I'm not going to lie," Ron admitted. "I was just - I was a problem, but a funny problem. And then they just stuck us in different cabs and then they've just made this thing, so we're setting that straight."
Lana continues: "Yeah, we didn't argue."
All the couples who made it to the final appear to be going strong, but other pairs from the show have gone their separate ways.
Casey O'Gorman, 26, and Rosie Seabrook, 24, were dumped from the villa just days before the final and just two weeks later announced they had split, revealing "life outside the villa is just very different for them".
Another couple to call time on their relationship is Olivia Hawkins, 27, and Maxwell Samuda, 23, who reportedly "drifted apart" after leaving the villa.
After previously insisting they were doing "really good", it’s since been confirmed they’re no longer an item.
