It’s been a few months since TOWIE’s Liam ‘Gatsby’ Blackwell revealed he was dating someone new, however the reality star and rapper has kept the identity of his new flame under wraps until now.
Following his split from Dani Imbert and a romance with recently axed co-star Hannah Voyan that never really got off the ground, Gatsby revealed he was romantically involved with a “classy” new lady that “wasn’t like the typical girls [he] usually goes for”. Shade? We think so.
Although Gatsby didn’t reveal the identity of his mystery woman, he’s seemingly given his Instagram followers a rare glimpse of the lady in his life.
Taking to his Instagram Story to update fans on a trip to A&E, Gatsby could be seen sitting in a hospital waiting room resting his legs on an unidentified woman.
The woman was wearing a hoodie and a face mask, meaning we could only see her eyes and her hair peeking out of the hood.
Although Gatsby didn’t explain who she was, we’d put money on the woman being his girlfriend.
Gatsby first spoke about his new girlfriend back in October as he revealed, “She’s different to all the other girls I’ve dated.
“She’s classy, she’s educated, she's pretty and she’s just from a different world and she’s not like the typical girls that I usually go for, it’s worlds apart.”
He told The Sun, “We’re just seeing how it goes. We’ve been dating for two months now.
“She’s not an Essex girl... It’s refreshing."
Um, she's classy and educated and so different to the other women he's dated? OUCH.
Despite seemingly going public with his new girlfriend, Gatsby also shared some festive frolics with one of his co-stars last month. We're of course talking about Chloe Brockett, who was once accused of locking lips with Gats after they swapped flirty texts.
Back in December, Gatsby shared a video on his Instagram account that showed him stepping out into the snow clad in a dressing gown - which suggests to us a sleepover because of course it does - then picking up a handful of snow and throwing it at the person filming.
"Why would you do that? Dickhead," said a person who sounds remarkably like Chloe and who we would bet our last Rolo is Chloe.

Gatsby's girlfriends
1 of 7Gatsby and Ferne McCann
Gatsby quickly set his sights on Ferne McCann when he joined the cast of TOWIE back in 2015 and they shared a couple of dates. Remember his iconic rap lyrics, "Helicopter ride on the first date, imagine what I'd do on your birthday?" Oh, the memories. Sadly, things didn't work out for them and their blossoming romance fizzled out.
2 of 7Gatsby and Chloe Sims
They're perhaps an unlikely pair on paper but Gatsby was linked to Chloe Sims at the end of 2016. When TOWIE returned to our screens in 2017, she finally confessed they'd enjoyed a secret fling after growing close at Christmas. While Gatsby revealed he had caught feelings for Chloe, they weren't reciprocated and they eventually called time on their whirlwind romance.
3 of 7Gatsby and Isabella Cirinski
Following his split from Chloe, Gatsby bounced back with LA-based Swedish model Isabella Cirinski. At the time, a source told The Sun, "It's about time Liam had some happiness and Isabella is the perfect woman. It's not hard to see why Liam's keen on her - she's gorgeous."
4 of 7Gatsby and Summer Monteys-Fullam
Gatsby briefly dated Paul Hollywood's ex Summer Monteys-Fullam in December 2019. He later revealed their romance "fizzled out" as he got stuck in America during lockdown. He told Metro, "Basically we’d been on a date around this time last year, like around Christmas time. It was a nice date, but then I went to see my family over in LA for Christmas. I ended up staying there for a couple of months and I got stuck there over lockdown. I was out of the country for like seven months and obviously we’d only been on one date, it fizzled out."
5 of 7Gatsby and Sophie
There was romance in the air for Gatsby during The Only Way is Essexmas in 2020 when he revealed he'd been dating someone new, a woman named Sophie, for a month. He later made things official with her during the episode when he asked her to spend Christmas with him. However, Gatsby and Sophie had split by the time the next series of TOWIE hit our screens.
6 of 7Gatsby and Dani Imbert
Gatsby was set up on a date with Dani by their mutual friend Rem Larue on series 27 of TOWIE. The pair hit it off and went on to make their relationship official. They dated for ten months but split in December 2021. When they came face-to-face six months later on TOWIE's 30th series, Dani accused Gatsby of "treating her like sh-t" throughout their relationship.
7 of 7Gatsby and Hannah Voyan
Following his split from Dani, it seemed like Gatsby was going to move on with TOWIE newcomer Hannah Voyan when he admitted he fancied her and the feeling appeared to be mutual. However, it seems like things have already fizzled out between them as Gatsby has since revealed he's dating someone new.
