If there's one thing we love at Closer Online, it's a reality TV romance crossover. So we were buzzing when it came to light that Love Island's Matilda Draper and TOWIE's Roman Hackett are dating.
And now Matilda - who starred on Love Island 2024 - has opened up about their relationship and revealed it all really kicked off at a Halloween party.
'I first met him at someone's birthday, just after I broke up with Sean. We were just friends before I went on Love Island, he's friends with one of my friends and they went on holiday together and he'd always pop up on her Instagram Stories about me.
'So I knew he fancied me,' she admitted on the Not My Bagg podcast.
She continued, 'Then I went to his event on Halloween and I ended up snogging him and then we were in Dubai at the same time alone, so we had a holiday romance.
'It was so weird though because I'm usually an ice queen but he's really just melted my heart.'
Cuuuute.
As it turns out, fellow Islander Jessica Spencer is dating Roman's cousin Braydon and they've been going out as a foursome.
'We're always double dating,' Matilda admitted.
'We're always together. It's really fun,' Jessica added.
And while the girls weren't super close in the villa, it was being in the final together that really cemented their friendship.
'How the villa was set up is, they like you to have certain chats with certain people so the people that they would ask me to have chats with would be Jessy [Potts] and Grace [Jackson],' Jess explained.
'They would never set up chats with me and Matilda which was kind of annoying but then it wasn't until the final when they couldn't split us up into groups of two so they let the four of us speak to each other.'
It all paid off and Jess confirmed they're best pals after posting a TikTok from a double date with the caption, 'bestied so hard we're dating cousins.'
Major slay girls.
