Jacques O'Neill has seemingly confirmed his relationship with Stephen Bear's ex-girlfriend , as they enjoyed a night out at a trendy eatery. The 25-year-old Love Island star was spotted holding hands with influencer Ellie O'Donnell, 27, as they headed to Sexy Fish restaurant in Manchester after speculation began last month that they were dating. Jacques had a controversial time on the ITV2 dating show with Paige Thorne complaining that he 'gaslighted' her over events in the villa, while Ellie used to date former reality star and convict Stephen Bear in 2019 before their relationship collapsed after he admitted to cheating on her.
Ellie looked much happier in the hands of Jacques as they headed out for the evening and an insider had previously told The Sun about the blossoming of their romance. They said: "Jacques and Ellie are really good match and love spending time together. They recently went on a romantic trip together, which made them even more smitten than before and they are now thinking about moving in together.
Jacques gets on really well with her sister Daisey as well and they often all hang out together." Jacques finished his time on Love Island after his coupling with Paige came to an end and he cited his mental health and ADHD as reasons why he couldn't cope with life in the villa any longer. At the time, Jacques said: "Life has been very overwhelming recently and admittedly I've probably not handled myself in the best possible way.
I take full responsibility for.
