Chris Hughes CONFIRMS he’s dating Jesy Nelson: ‘I’m the happiest I’ve ever been’

Chris Hughes has finally confirmed he is dating Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson.

The Love Island star, 26, first sparked speculation he was dating the singer earlier this year after the pair were supposedly spotted at a Harry Potter-themed bar together.

The couple were then spotted kissing at the airport after enjoying a romantic getaway to Dublin.

Hughes has since spoken out about the romance, admitting he is the “happiest” he could be.

The reality star couldn’t resist gushing over his romance as he went on to praise Nelson, 27, for her caring nature.

Hughes added: “She's got a heart like she was your mother or something. She's so caring. We just get on like best mates, and that's the beauty about it."

Appearing alongside his best friend, Kem Cetinay told how he has “never seen him like this” over a relationship.

The sweet comments come after Cetinay, 22, jokingly warned Nelson not to “take him away.”

Speaking on Lorraine earlier this week, he said: “I know he posted the photo [of them together]. He seems really happy. I’ve never met her before, he says really nice things about her.

“He seems really happy and that’s all that matters. As long as she doesn’t take him away from me too much.”
