We're a sucker for romance and when it's a TOWIE star who hints that they have a potential new love interest, we are even more obsessed.
The latest Essex resident to imply that they have a new love in their lives is Chloe Brockett and much like her on-screen nemesis, Ella Rae Wise, did with her former bae, Chloe is only offering snippets of her new fella.
The latest well positioned snaps and not-so-subtle hints come in the form of her Instagram story where Chloe enjoyed a cute little getaway and was accompanied by a tattooed man who enjoys a drink and, honestly, that's all we know at this stage.
Her social media was filled with pictures from her getaway, with Chloe using the term "we" more times than we can count - and seeing as she didn't tag any of her friends and that arm DEFINITELY belongs to a man, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out what's going on.
Chloe also added a photo to her grid which, obviously, her recent boyfriend didn't feature in, but the caption simply read "happy girl era" which led Chloe's friends and followers to comment their love for the reality TV star.
One fan wrote, "We all want to know who you’ve been with cryptic pics with a man . Just being nosey as you deserve happiness ❤️," with her mate Dani Imbert commenting, "I spy a happy queen 😍"
There is still a question mark as to whether Chloe will be returning to TOWIE as she was suspended after she an alleged run-in with ex Roman Hackett and the two unfollowed each other on Instagram. Truly an act of war in the world of reality TV.
But at least her love life is on the up if these photos are anything to go by. Not to mention her On the Record with Chloe B podcast, which will feature pal Saffron Lempriere this week, is being adored by her fans, obv.
The last time Chloe hinted that she was loved-up was during a trip to Winter Wonderland last year.
Knowing fully well that this would send us all into a showbiz meltdown, Chloe shared a snap of a Christmas ornament with her initials AND SOMEONE ELSE'S INITIALS written on it – we think we saw a love heart, too. Chloe blocked out the mystery initials, writing, "Hehe wouldn't you like to see what it says."
The name never was revealed and we have to wonder, is it the same inked up chap who is making appearances on our Chlo's Instagram?

Chloe Brockett boyfriends
Harry Lee
Chloe and Harry both joined the cast of TOWIE in 2019 and quickly took a shine to each other before it was revealed that he had also been cracking on with fellow newcomer Chloe Ross. That didn't stop romance blossoming between Harry and Chloe, though, but just months later she revealed they'd called it quits as they weren't "compatible".
She later went on to reveal that they are not in contact as they have "nothing in common and no reason to be in contact."
Jack Fincham
Chloe was first linked to Love Island winner Jack Fincham in 2020 and although she always insisted they were just friends, the pair only added fuel to the fire when they were pictured enjoying a romantic pre-Christmas getaway together. Chloe and Jack dated on and off for two years before they split up for good and he moved on with her co-star Frankie Sims.
The pair are still friendly and constantly battling romance rumours.
James Lock
TOWIE viewers were left in shock when it was revealed that Chloe had enjoyed a secret summer fling with Lockie following his split from Yazmin Oukhellou. The pair agreed to remain friends after hooking up multiple times, but things got awkward when Yaz made a surprise return to Essex.
Miles Nazaire
Chloe sparked romance rumours with Made in Chelsea lothario Miles when they began filming Celebs Go Dating and viewers couldn't get enough of the obvious chemistry between them. As far as we're aware, the pair never officially dated, though.
Roman Hackett
Although they've never given things a proper go, it's safe to say there's always been a hint of sexual tension between Chloe and her TOWIE co-star Roman. It also spilled over during the cast's trip to Thailand earlier this year when Roman kissed Chloe in her hotel Roman, which abruptly ended his blossoming romance with Dani. Since then, Roman and Chloe were spotted looking cosy at an ITV party, and then suddenly Chloe was suspended from the show for allegedly chucking stuff at him, so yeah, no happily ever after there, sadly.
