Since going Instagram official with their romance in December, Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaei have been hailed as the “celebrity couple we didn’t know we needed”.
The TV stars – who both found fame on the reality TV circuit, in TOWIE and Geordie Shore respectively – have known each other for five years, but it was a charity event organised by Liam Gatsby where Sophie swept Jordan off his feet.
“I see everything happening with her,” Jordan exclusive told heat magazine. The 28-year-old barber is delighted Sophie, 33, has jumped ship to join the TOWIE cast and, by all accounts, she’s a natural…
Congrats on your new romance…
Thanks. So much has changed, and I am so loved-up. It has been about seven months now, and things are moving exactly where we want them to go.
Have things moved quickly?
I was never this massive believer in “If you know, you know”. But it has spun my head completely. I have blinkers on, and I am full steam ahead with her. I see the houses, kids, the future with Sophie.
So, she’s The One then…
I am on cloud nine. Soph and I probably wouldn’t have worked five years ago when we first met. We were at different stages in our lives. Now, it really works. There is nothing that could come between us. She can see straight through [the drama].
There’s a five-year age gap – does that work well between you?
I have always had an older head on my shoulders. I have lived on my own since I was 19, and I tend to get on with older people. Relationships are tough when you are younger. You can’t work yourself out. But Sophie is so confident in herself, and that makes me confident.
Have you met each other’s families?
We have just come back from my dad’s wedding in Antigua, which Soph booked last-minute. My family just fell in love with her. My mum and dad are both happy that I’m now settled.
Is marriage on the cards?
A wedding will definitely happen. Soph is Persian, and in that culture, weddings are huge. We will have a great wedding.
What about kids?
We are not trying, we are not in a rush. But it doesn’t scare me. I am so family orientated – my relationship with my
mum and dad is amazing. I long for that with a son or a daughter. I always have done. We are moving into a lovely house.
What about TOWIE?
Soph’s filmed with me this series, and everyone loves her. It’s great having her around and coming along to work with me. She’s been friends with Amber [Turner] for years. I have introduced her to all the cast and she’s been welcomed with open arms. There is no way you can’t like her. We are a proper team.
TOWIE continues on Sundays at 9pm on ITVBe, catch up on all episodes on ITVX
