Who is Ferne McCann's boyfriend?
Ferne is currently engaged to real estate agent Lorri Haines. They first began dating in January 2022 and took their whirlwind romance to the next level in the summer when he popped the question during a romantic trip to France.
Ferne announced she was engaged when she shared a photo of herself kissing Lorri while holding up her hand and showing off her sizeable engagement ring on Instagram. Alongside the snap, the reality star wrote, “So happily ever afters do exist 🥰💍❤️🇫🇷. I cannot wait to do forever with you baby @lozzahaines ❤️."
The pair are yet to walk down the aisle and, earlier this year, Ferne admitted their wedding was on hold. "I just feel like we’re going to be engaged for a really long time," she told OK!, before adding, "We’re committed to each other; I don’t feel like we need to be married right now."
Ferne McCann and Arthur Collins
Ferne first began dating former scaffolder and businessman Arthur Collins in 2016. They split following a trip to Ibiza but later rekindled their romance after Ferne's stint on Celebs Go Dating.
In April 2017, Arthur carried out an acid attack in an East London nightclub and was later arrested by police. Ferne later announced she was pregnant with their first child but would be raising the baby as a single mum after he was sentenced to twenty years in prison.
The reality star gave birth to their daughter Sunday on 2 November 2017, just days before Arthur was sentenced in court.
Who are Ferne McCann's daughters?
Ferne is mum to two daughters, six-year-old Sunday - who was born on 2 November 2017 - and one-year-old Finty, who was born in July 2023.
Ferne previously revealed the inspiration behind her first daughter's unique name, explaining, "So the name Sunday was because I was using a face cleanser by the brand Sunday Riley. It was like, a clay mask.
"And I just thought like, you know, like many other make-up and beauty brands with a females' first name and second name, you could probably think of some in your head. I just thought that was her name and I was like; ‘That’s so nice! That is just such a lovely name!’”
Ferne McCann's voice notes scandal
Back in September 2022, an anonymous Instagram account leaked voice notes in which Ferne allegedly bodyshamed her friend and former co-star Sam Faiers. More voice notes came to light a few weeks later, with Ferne accused of criticising Billie Faiers for calling her son Arthur, the name of Ferne's criminal ex-boyfriend.
A third set of voice notes were leaked in November, this time featuring a voice claimed to be Ferne slamming one of the victims of Arthur Collins' acid attack. Ferne later released a statement in which she claimed they were "manipulated, edited and taken out of content".
Is Ferne McCann going to be on Dancing on Ice?
Ferne is reportedly the first celeb signed up to be taking part in Dancing on Ice 2025, which will begin in January. A source told The Sun, "It’s been a rough few years for Ferne but she has always been an ITV star, with her roots on TOWIE and then with her first steps into the mainstream on I’m A Celebrity in 2015.
"So Dancing on Ice will be a chance for her to knuckle down, work hard and win over the public.”
