Ex on the Beach legend announces he's engaged to stunning pilates teacher ten years after finding fame
EX on the Beach legend Joss Mooney has announced he's engaged to a stunning pilates teacher.
Ten years after finding fame on the hit MTV show, personal trainer Joss, 38, shared a series of snaps from the magic moment in Marbella, Spain.
Posed on one knee in front of his partner Emma, he gazed up with a beaming smile in the courtyard of a stunning villa.
Dubai -based Emma covered her mouth in shock before pulling Joss in for an adorable kiss.
Wearing a sparkly silver minidress, she flashed the sparkler for the camera while tucking into a tasty-looking banquet with her other half.
Joss, donning a casual blue shirt, puffed away on a cigar while enjoying the special day.
In his caption, he penned a romantic open letter to his new fiancee, telling her he's on "cloud nine" and promising to "stand by her side" forever.
He wrote: "Dear Emma, As far as clichés go, I've spent most of my life chasing things. Success, experiences, material rewards. I thought those were the things that would make me happy. And yes, I've built a good life but deep down, something was always missing.
"Now I know why… And I could look back and say it was wasted time, but the truth is, it all led me to you.
"You came into my life at a time and place I least expected. I wasn't searching anymore and I'd stopped looking for 'the one.' And then there you were.
"I still remember the first time I spoke to you. The way you looked at me. That moment is engraved in my memory forever, along with last night when I dropped to one knee.
"Now I truly understand what happiness is. It's not what you have, it's who you share it with. Everything else is just extra.

"Right now, I feel like I'm on cloud nine. The old me would've kept this to himself. I'd of cringed at this kind of message…but today, I'm proud. I'm proud to say I've found my person.
"Thank you, Emma. For loving me, for believing in me and for making me the man I am today.
"I promise to love you, protect you and stand by your side for the rest of our lives. 10.06.2025."
The couple received heaps of support from their celeb friends in the comments section.
Towie star Jasmin Walia commented: "Josssss (lyn) so happy for you !"
Geordie Shore 's Kyle Christie added: "Congratulations to both of you, always thought you were already married @roguesnaps."
Love Island alum Tom Clare chimed in with: "Congratulations!" with Scott Thomas saying: "go on the boy," followed by a string of heart emojis.
Claudia Fogarty, Gabby Allen, Holly Hagan, Cally-Jane Beech, Davide Sanclimenti and Anton Danyluk also sent words of support.
Joss first rose to fame in 2014 when he joined Ex on the Beach series one, arriving as Talitha Minnis's ex.
He also had flings on the show with Emma Jane Lang and Chloe Goodman, and returned for Ex on the Beach: All Stars.
He later competed on MTV's The Challenge, becoming known for his athletic ability and competitive streak.
Off-screen, Joss had a short-lived romance with Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison and was later linked to Shelby Billingham, Olivia Walsh, Kayleigh Morris and Ellie O'Donnell.
But in recent years, the fitness coach has kept his love life mostly under wraps - until now.
He and Emma have been together for over two years, currently living between London and Dubai.
Joss Mooney's illustrious love life
HE made waves on Ex on the Beach over a decade ago as one of the show's most notorious heartthrobs.
Since then, Joss Mooney has had his fair share of on-screen drama and off-screen romances - but now, the fitness star has finally found lasting love after years of living the Lothario lifestyle.
Talitha Minnis (2014)
Joss entered Ex on the Beach Series 1 as Talitha's ex. Their fiery reunion set the tone for the drama-packed season, which aired in April 2014.
Emma Jane Lang (2014)
She arrived halfway through the series as another one of Joss's exes. The pair had a steamy connection, but things didn't last off-screen.
Chloe Goodman (2014)
Chloe and Joss shared a brief flirtation in the villa, adding to his growing rep as a ladies' man.
Shelby Billingham (2014)
Joss and Shelby had history before the show — and when she showed up in episode 6, it sparked more tension. Rumours of an off-screen reunion followed.
Vicky Pattison (Late 2014 – Early 2015)
After Ex on the Beach, Joss was linked to Geordie Shore's Vicky. The pair were pictured together several times but never made it official.
Kayleigh Morris (2016)
Joss returned for Ex on the Beach: All Stars in 2016 as Kayleigh's ex. Their on-screen chemistry reignited interest in their past, though it didn't last long.
Olivia Walsh (2016)
Also in Series 5, Olivia arrived as one of Joss's exes. Viewers saw sparks — but nothing serious materialised beyond filming.
Ellie O'Donnell (2019)
Joss went Instagram official with influencer Ellie in 2019. The couple looked loved-up in snaps but quietly split after a few months.
Emma Louise (2023 – now)
After years of high-profile flings, Joss went Instagram official with pilates instructor Emma Louise in early 2023. The couple now split their time between London and Dubai. On June 10, 2025, he popped the question during a romantic dinner in Marbella — and she said yes.

Love Island fans spot clue Islander is pretending to fancy her partner after awkward recoupling
LOVE Island fans say they have spotted a clue that one of the Islanders is pretending to fancy her partner, following last night's awkward recoupling. Ever since they first coupled up on Monday night, fans have been convinced that Meg is faking her feelings for hunky Dejon. 6 6 6 Dejon and Megan were coupled up during the launch show, and have remained together ever since. However, during last night's recoupling, fans were left unconvinced (once again) of the blonde beauty's true feelings for her man. Although Meg still chose to couple up with Dejon, fans thought her speech wasn't genuine. They also think her body language during last night's recoupling was "awkward" and a sure sign she's just not that into him. Taking to social media one fan said: "I want to believe in Meg and Dejon but I fear one man making a move on meg might send the relationship collapsing." While another added: "Meg doesn't like Dejon - simple." This one said: "Meg says the right things but her energy and body language is offff (sic)." "Meg is so fake omg she's just waiting for her bombshell," a fourth added. This isn't the first time that fans have been unconvinced of Meg's feelings for Dejon - in fact it's been happening a lot since they first coupled up. Their first kiss was also slammed by viewers for being "painfully awkward". Love Island fans spot tell tale signs villa beauty hated snog with show hunk On Wednesday, the pair went up to the terrace to discuss their relationship so far. Dejon started the chat, and said: 'I like the way that things are going.' She replied: 'Yeah, same. I feel the exact same.' But the tension was hard to ignore as she adde:, 'I feel like we talk… everyone else's f*****g business.' 6 Trying to take things to the next level, Dejon asked if she still wanted to share a bed with him, to which she said yes. Then came the kiss but before Dejon leaned in, Meg awkwardly asked: 'Oh, you're going to kiss me?' And once the kiss was over, she laughed and said, 'Is that enough?' Fans took to social media to discuss the painfully awkward moment, with one writing beneath some grabs of the scene: ''Oh ur gonna kiss me' & 'was that enough' – she DID NOT want that." Another added: 'That was so false hahaha she doesn't like him. Her face afterwards said it all.' A third agreed: 'SO TRUE she don't like him like that.' 6 MEG'S U-TURN Meanwhile, viewers previously slammed Meg after she made a huge U-turn in bid to stay in the villa. And it came just a day after she seemed "underwhelmed" when she chose Dejon during the Love Island launch. On Monday night, Meg picked Dejon, but when they met for the first time, fans were convinced there was no attraction on either side. In fact, she then went onto tell the rest of the girls later in the episode that she wasn't really "feeling him". 6 But as Tuesday's recoupling loomed, Meg seemed to change her tune. In fact when she saw US bombshell Toni chatting to Djon, she was heard saying to her fellow Islanders: 'I don't have my man, Dejon's gone - that's it!' This didn't go unnoticed by fans, who took to social media to vent about her "game plan" One said: "Meg doesn't like Dejon but she's got to secure her place in the Villa, baddd!" While another chimed in: "All Meg is worried about is going home, she don't care about Dejon." This one added: "Meg defo has a game plan! "She's being all sweet to Dejon to stay on the show."

Martha Stewart, 83, reveals her secret behind her taut skin as she showcases her age-defying looks
Martha Stewart has revealed the secret behind her taut looks as she showcased her age-defying looks in a youthful Instagram post on Thursday. The TV personality, 83, who shot to fame in 1990 after launching her magazine Martha Stewart Living, looked incredible as she confessed laser treatments are behind her snatched features. Martha visited WellTech client, LYMA's brand HQ in London where she experienced a signature LYMA Lift facial and picked up her own Laser PRO device. Sharing a snap of herself with the device - a clinical-grade cold laser technology claiming to reduce the appearance of wrinkles - Martha looked sensational as she held the device under her chin. Worth £4,995, it is 'engineered to make skin look younger by triggering a genetic switch inside each cell' and Martha branded her facial, 'the best she has ever had.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Alongside her snap, she penned: 'Last thing we did in London was visit @lucygoffy @lymalife for a facial and red light laser treatment performed by Scottish aesthetician Yvonne Martin, wow if all I can say!!!!!' Martha's MUA Daisy Toye has previously dubbed LYMA 'the best at-home laser in the game,' adding that both she and Martha 'love' the latest device. Laser light is uniquely constructed which allows the device to retain more energy as it penetrates the skin. Martha's post comes after she weighed in on the RecipeTin Eats plagiarism scandal after Brooke Bellamy was accused of copying the recipes of fellow Australian cook Nagi Maehashi. The celebrity chef said during her live event at Sydney 's ICC on Wednesday night that it was difficult to prove a recipe had been copied. 'I have so many recipes and it's hard to develop a recipe without having a repertoire behind it,' she told the audience. 'I don't think too many recipes are owned by anybody, they are handed down, used and changed.' However, Martha claimed that it can be considered plagiarism if a recipe is 'copied word for word'. 'If you print somebody else's recipe word for word in your own cookbook then it might be plagiarism but I think it's very hard to prove who actually came up with that recipe,' she said. 'So unless they are word for word, you can't say they're yours.' It comes after a second author accused social media cooking sensation Brooke of stealing recipes for her bestselling cookbook Bake With Brooki. Hours after RecipeTin Eats founder Nagi raised allegations of copyright infringement last month, Sally McKenney, the US author and blogger behind Sally's Baking Addiction, made similar claims. Brooke, who owns the popular Brooki Bakehouse in Brisbane, denied the accusations, saying she had been making and selling her recipes before Nagi's were published. The allegations relate to Nagi's caramel slice and baklava recipe, along with Sally's Best Vanilla Cake recipe. Sally posted her claims on social media, saying she was first alerted to the similarity months ago. She said her recipe was first published in 2019. 'One of my recipes was also plagiarised in this book and also appears on the author's YouTube channel,' she said. 'Original recipe creators who put in the work to develop and test recipes deserve credit - especially in a bestselling cookbook.' Bake With Brooki is a bestselling cookbook published by Penguin in October last year and retails for $49.99. Brooke quickly became a global sensation after sharing videos on TikTok, which receive millions of views each day. She is best known for her cookies and has opened pop-up stores in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Both Penguin and Brooke deny the allegations.

Dancing On Ice pro Alex Murphy sobs as she reveals ‘hellish' fertility journey & shares incident that made her suicidal
DANCING On Ice pro Alex Murphy has broken down in tears after sharing her "hellish" fertility battle. The 37-year-old and husband Paul Klein, aka one half of YouTuber duo Woody & Kleiny, have been trying to conceive for two years. And while they've undergone numerous tests to find out why they haven't been successful, they ended up finding "nothing" - which Alex said is almost worse than finding something that can be fixed. 6 6 She appeared on Amy Hart's Mum's Club podcast earlier this month talking about their attempts to fall pregnant, as she said: "It wasn't a thing to me that I would have a time limit, but then when you start trying to conceive, all of a sudden everybody talks about the time limit, and you're like 'Oh my God'. "We started trying when I was 35, I hit 37 and I wanted to drive my car off a cliff." Alex added she feels "embarrassed" that her "body's not working", but still has "so much faith it's going to happen". She then further opened up in a video on her TikTok page, sobbing as she recalled an incident that had "derailed" her entire day. "I walk into town and this woman, who meant no harm by this in any way, shape, or form, comes up to me and she's like, 'Alex, so good to see you, how are you?'," she said. "She gives me a hug, goes, 'Haven't seen you in a while', grabs my belly, touches my stomach, and goes, ' No babies yet?' "If I can give anyone a piece of advice, I don't care if you're a mum or a daughter or a granddaughter or a sister, do not go up to someone and talk about pregnancy. "I don't care if they look nine months pregnant, don't talk to them about their pregnancy. "Do not ever ask them if they're pregnant, do not ever ask them why there's no babies, don't ever ask them anything. A Miracle Baby Story "Shut up and don't say anything." Alex said she had to sit there and grit her teeth as she said "No, none yet". "I am going through torture with my husband at this point, we are going through hell," she continued. "And this is the stuff that happens to me on a weekly basis - this is why I couldn't get away with hiding it from people anymore. "This is why, I would never go up to someone and touch their stomach." And while she insisted she knows the woman "meant nothing by it", she couldn't help get upset by her comment. Why being the child-free friend isn't as easy as everyone thinks By Josie Griffiths, deputy digital Fabulous editor. Josie Griffiths said: We get it, having kids is exhausting. And yes, there are loads of benefits to not having them - weekend lie-ins, more disposable income, freedom to make your holidays all about you - which trust me I am aware of. But as all your friends and family members start becoming parents, the truth is it's not THAT easy being the one who hasn't taken the plunge. My girlfriends regularly tell me how their annual leaving is clogged up by parents calling first dibs on the entire summer, or fret that close mates won't come to their wedding now they're parents. It's not unfounded either, we had five friends, including one my husband was best man for before he started a family, drop out of our wedding citing sick kids and other child-related issues. The truth is that once people have babies, life becomes all about them. And while those babies are of course lovely and we dedicate many weekends to visiting them, there is sometimes a gnawing thought in the back of my mind, that we have become second-class citizens. Not only are you the one constantly expected to adapt and evolve to children's nap times and swimming lessons, but the things you care most about suddenly become 'frivolous', met with an eye roll and a 'must be nice'. As someone who really wants children myself, I hope this is a short-term pain, but if we experienced any sort of fertility issues I know this would be made 100 times harder. I have friends who are in that position, and my heart breaks for them. And I also have female friends who've decided not to have children, for very well-considered and thought out reasons, who shouldn't ever be made to feel like their lives aren't as important as anyone else's. When it comes to people who are child-free by choice, we all need to learn to celebrate their wins more - whether it's renting their own flat on one income, getting the promotion, or taking a sabbatical to travel the world. But there are downsides too, they're just whispered over glasses of wine in restaurants and shared in private WhatsApp chats, instead of being plastered all over social media. "Don't touch someone, don't ever touch their stomach, don't ever insinuate anything about getting pregnant, don't ever insinuate anything about babies," she said. "She has fully derailed my entire day. "I was having a really good day, I was feeling really good and really positive about everything, we had gotten some hope, we had a really good call with the doctor last night, and that has derailed my entire f**king afternoon. "And now I have to go home and pull my s**t together again and ultimately just try not to think about this because I'm tired." Alex admitted she's felt like she needed to share their fertility struggle publicly, because if she doesn't she's "going to completely combust". "And if one more person comes up to me and touches my stomach, I'm going to slap them," she sighed. "And that's not like me. I'm not aggressive. "I'm trying my best to keep my s**t together as best I can. "But the thing with being in the public eye, people thinking they're entitled to knowing you and that I can't deal with anymore. "So it's out in the open. "We are struggling. We have some hope but my whole f**king afternoon is ruined because of this now. "It's literally ruined my whole afternoon and now I have to sit here and cry in my car and try to get my s**t together and not feel like I want to drive my car off a f**king cliff." She concluded by begging: "Please be better to the people around you. Please be better. "Be more cognitive. Be more aware and never touch somebody's stomach - whether they're pregnant or not." She added in the video caption: "Ladies, we have to do better. This is about the 10th time this has happened to me in the public with someone coming up to me and touching me and openly talking about this as if they have any right to know. "Now I know this wasn't done with any bad intent, but it has got to stop." "Aww Alex, this is heartbreaking to watch," one person wrote in the comments section. "I can't believe someone, anyone, thinks that's ok to say to anyone." "That is not acceptable on any level…. some people are just insensitive, please don't let one person ruin your day," another said. "I felt every word of this," a third admitted. "I get this from family and friends regularly, despite them knowing my struggles." 6 6
