A few weeks ago, one of our Thursdays shone a little brighter – the weather was also pretty lush, tbf – as we were paid a visit by Love Island 2022 royalty, finalists Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page at our studios in London.
These two genuine babes were last year's Love Island golden couple from day one (quite literally), despite that minor blip during Casa Amor, of course (yes, #titgate). A year on, they have moved in together, single-handedly redefined couple goals on every red carpet in London, and now they're gearing up to take a HUGE next step in their relationship – that's right, it's 'baby' time.
We say 'baby'... what we actually mean is 'puppy'. Although Tasha did call the new addition the couple's "baby", so that's why we've got all over-excited and run with that.
Although, Tasha shared a snap of their new puppy, Luna, on Instagram this week, Closer got the first look and all the details while filming an episode of Closer's Phone Unlocked with the couple two weeks ago.
When asked to reveal the last WhatsApp message she sent for the YouTube series, Tasha revealed, "I basically rescued a dog, so I messaged the woman to get more pictures of her, so they've literally sent us a video of our dog."
Naturally, we poked and prodded for more puppy content.
Andrew addd, "She's adopted from Spain. The mum is a Pedenko and we don't what the dad is.
Tasha then went on to reveal their puppy's adorable name, "She's like a Spanish breed. We've called her Luna, and she's going to be our baby in two weeks."
See – "baby".
While listening to this live in Closer's studio, for a split second we thought Tasha was going to say 'Luca' when she revealed the name of their little family's latest addition, and thank the reality telly gods she didn't because that would've killed off half the Love Island fandom.
Tasha recently posed a snap of Luna (definitely almost typed 'Luca' there) on her Instagram story, with the caption, "Two more days until you're in our arms @andrewlepage @aloradogrescue. I can already tell she's going to be a sassy one x."
We can already tell these two are going to be great parents – mainly because we remember what they were like with baby Leo last year and (not to mention Andrew telling Leo about Tasha's superpower around the fire pit 🥺 ❤️).
Congrats, guys.
