Essex beauty Gemma Collins has an eventful year since the coronavirus pandemic began back in 2020.
The 40-year-old social media star has spent the last twelve months going through a painful split with former co-star James Argent and watched her dad Alan Collins hospitalised with the deadly virus, all while embarking on a health and fitness regime.
It seems that 2021 is looking a lot more positive for the reality TV star as she rekindles her romance with ex-fiancé Rami Hawash.
Earlier this month, Gemma confirmed the rumours that she was dating her on/off again 45-year-old beau were true and has taken to social media to flaunt their rejuvenated romance.
In a new video posted on her Instagram account on Friday, the blonde beauty shares a romantic kiss with her former fiancé in the swimming pool of her £1.35m Essex home.
In the clip shared with her 2.2 million Instagram followers, the former TOWIE stat can be seen enjoying a dip and locking lips with the businessman as she films a video for her latest fashion campaign.
Wearing blue swimming shorts, the recipient of Gemma's kiss seems to be a mystery at first until it's later clear that man joining her in the water is a grinning and radiant Rami.
As the star flaunted her newly toned physique in a floral patterned swimsuit from her new range, businessman Rami can be seen pulling the 40-year-old in for a quick kiss before later smiling for the camera, revealing his identity.
The loved-up couple first ended their on/off again relationship back in 2014, briefly reuniting again in 2017.
Rami, who is the owner of a repairs company, once even appeared on the hit show The Only Way is Essex alongside his reality TV star girlfriend.
The 45-year-old made a cameo on the ninth series of the ITV hit, jetting off to Marbella to see the blonde beauty.
However, just a few episodes later, the pair split and he never graced the screen again.
While it wasn't filmed for the show, Gemma and Rami did continue their relationship away from the cameras in the years that followed.
The couple even once got engaged in 2013 but The Only Way is Essex star has since revealed she has since had regrets about accepting his proposal.
Appearing on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, she said: “I knew it wasn’t right because when he asked me to marry him I zoned out and sort of stared into space. I should have said no, but I didn’t have the guts.”
Their engagement came to an end in 2014, just weeks before they were set to tie the knot, and since their break up, Rami became a father to a three-year-old son called Tristan.
Following Gemma's final split from James Argent last year, the on/off lovers rekindled their romance earlier this year and hope it will work out this time.
