After weeks of rumours about her love life, TOWIE icon Megan McKenna has gone Instagram official with her new footballer boyfriend – and he’s pretty fit.
The reality TV star turned country music star is currently dating Millwall player Oliver Burke and went public when she shared a series of photos from their romantic getaway to Paris.
Megan captioned the post, “The perfect trip with the perfect person 🖤.”
Things are clearly getting serious as Oliver commented on the post, “I love you ❤️.”
Megan’s friends and followers were loving the Instagram debut of her relationship, with fellow TOWIE alumni Nicole Bass leaving two love hearts in the comments section.
Charlotte Dawson wrote, “So happy for you my miley so deserved xxxx,” while another of Megan’s followers remarked, “Aww yay one who doesn’t think he’s a G by hiding his identity 👏🏻😂 Nice to see you happy! 💞💞💞.”
She's had a series of explosive relationships and heartaches play out during her time on TV - especially TOWIE – but Megan seems happier than ever in her new relationship.
Megan also previously dated Pete Wicks and, is it just us or does Oliver Burke kinda have Pirate Pete vibes? We're not sure if it's the sleeve tattoo or the facial hair but it's safe to say our Meg has a type. A tattooed hand type.
Megan rose to fame on TOWIE and Ex On The Beach, but in recent years has reinvented herself as a singer – winning The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019, performing at last year’s Glastonbury Festival, and selling out tours with her country-infused pop songs.
And Megan says that – just like her music idol Taylor Swift – she gets her songwriting inspiration from her own relationships. She told Closer, “I’ve just written a new song called Dear Mr Right – I like to write about my personal experiences.”

4 of 8Josh Riley
It first came to light that Megan was dating Josh in August 2020 and it wasn't long before the reality star opened up about her man, telling the Daily Mail, "He is so supportive of my music. He really understands the industry, he does his clothing brand, and he understands it all. He loves listening to my songs. When I come home and I've written one, I play it to him. He's very proud of me. It's going really well and I'm really happy with him. I like the way it is and it's good to keep some things back, my family likes him too."

Megan and Mike Thalassitis started dating in January 2018 with the TOWIE star admitting she had "completely fallen in love" with him. However their relationship didn't last and in July 2018 they split. Mike sadly ended his own life the following year.
6 of 8Pete Wicks
Pete Wicks is probably Megan's most famous relationship, as their doomed romance played out on TOWIE for a good few years. They began flirting over Twitter in 2015 and their romance was confirmed when Megan showed up on Pete's arm for the 200th episode Great Gatsby themed party. Megan and Pete were one feisty couple and their relationship was littered with cheating scandals and screaming matches in the street. However, despite trying many times, Megan and Pete were just not meant to be. In 2019, they both reunited on dating show Celebs Go Dating, where they both agreed to be friends.
7 of 8Scotty T
After stints on Ex On The Beach, Megan entered CBB and romance was soon brewing with none other than Geordie Shore's very own Scotty T. But their romance was short-lived and was over by the time they left the CBB house. The pair blamed it on distance, with Megan down in Essex and Scott all the way up in Newcastle.
8 of 8Jordan Davies
Megan also met Ibiza Weekender's Jordan Davies in 2017, on the same season of Ex On The Beach she met Bear. Jordan and Megan got along pretty well for a while, well enough for him to get down on one knee and propose to her ON TV. Safe to say, things didn't work out and the engagement was very short lived as Megan was soon in the CBB house cuddling up to Scotty T. But Megan isn't one to shy away from dramz.
