Love Island's Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint CONFIRM they're back together two weeks after splitting as they're seen in a cosy heart-to-heart at boohooMAN bash
Just two weeks after it was revealed they'd split for the second time, the couple were spotted in the middle of a low-key exchange at the bash, with sources saying they're 'focused on making their relationship a success.'
Earlier this month, MailOnline shared that Ronnie and Harriett had split after a string of fiery rows in Ibiza, but just a week later, it was reported they were back together.
And while Harriett and Ronnie didn't pose for snaps together at the boohoo party, they were seen in the middle of a deep conversation once inside the bash.
A source told The Sun: 'Harriett and Ronnie looked very close again as they had a heart to heart at the Boohoo party last night.
'They have worked things out and are focusing on making their relationship a success.
'But they aren't going to make a big announcement because that puts pressure on things and they don't need that.'
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint for further comment.
Just last week it was first reported that Harriett and Ronnie had rekindled their relationship, just a week after calling it quits.
The couple met during the 2024 summer series but split soon after being dumped from the villa. They then reunited on January's All Stars and gave their romance a second go.
A source told The Sun at the time: 'Harriett and Ronnie are speaking again and getting back together.
'They're so on and off - it's like they row when they're together but can't live without each other.'
Ronnie had reportedly been getting to know social media influencer Lauren Watson - who boats 153,000 followers - after claims they were seen flirting in Ibiza earlier last week following the news he had split from Harriet.
Ronnie was at the launch of the Unexpected Hotel on the Spanish island on Tuesday, and he is said to have spent most of it 'flirting with Lauren.'
It's thought that the pair already follow each other on social media.
A source told The Sun: 'Ronnie looked really into Lauren, and certainly wasn't spending his time pining over Harriett.
'He's always had an eye for the ladies, so it was no surprise that Lauren caught his attention.'
Ronnie and Harriett deleted all traces of each other from social media following their shock split.
They met on Love Island last summer but struggled to make their relationship work outside of the villa.
It wasn't until Harriett surprised Ronnie as a bombshell arrival on All Stars in January that the couple reconnected, hoping to commit to each other for the long term.
But after fiery rows in Ibiza, they called it quits, just months after failing to make the All Stars final.
A source told MailOnline: 'It's true that Ronnie and Harriett have ended their romance, they have tried to make it work but the arguments between them made it difficult.'
An insider added: 'There has been a lot of love between Ronnie and Harriett, but they have always been a fiery couple and in the end, they struggled to see eye to eye.
'On Wednesday night, they flew back from a trip to Ibiza and decided they are better off not together and right now, they're not even prepared to be friends.
'They have unfollowed each other on Instagram, which isn't the first time, but the feeling is it's over now for good.'
Ronnie, who's close friends with former Love Island star Olivia Attwood and her husband Bradley Dack, met dancer Harriett on the ITV2 series last summer.
But the pair's romance was short-lived after Ronnie strayed, leaving Harriett devastated.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's new Netflix deal 'IS a downgrade' and more like a 'we'll call you' than 'here's the chequebook', experts say
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 's new Netflix deal is a 'downgrade' and more of a 'we'll call you' than 'here's the chequebook', experts have claimed. The couple signed a new 'multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects' with the streaming giant - understood to be worth less for the pair than their previous contract. The 'first-look' arrangement means Netflix can say yes or no to new film or television projects before anyone else - allowing them to pick and choose what they invest in. PR expert Mark Borkowski described the new deal as a 'downgrade', claiming it falls a long way from the jackpot figure of Harry and Meghan's original contract in 2020. He told the Daily Mail: 'I think Netflix has done a very neat job of pivoting away from two very expensive people who didn't deliver, and they've taken that deal off the table, and they've given them a modest one. 'It's not like they're gradually uncoupling – it's a downgrade. Netflix are not going to expose themselves to those budgets again. It's Netflix saying, "Let's have a look at your content, but we'll pick and choose, mate".' He believes the pair will be paid for each production selected by Netflix rather than receiving an overall fee, such as the reported $100million of their first deal. 'I would be surprised if it's not pay-as-you-go and it's well, well below that first mark,' he added. The couple's new output will include a second season of the Duchess's 'With Love, Meghan' lifestyle show later this month, as well as a Christmas special in December. The Sussexes are also working on 'Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within' - a documentary about orphaned children in Uganda, where the 'shadows of the HIV/Aids crisis linger'. There is also 'active development' on other projects with Netflix which 'span a variety of content genres', including an adaptation of romantic novel Meet Me At The Lake. But Mr Borkowski said the couple will not be granted the same budget as they were under their previous contract with the streaming service. 'They have shot the golden goose of 2020 - more of a "we'll call you" than "here's the chequebook",' he said. 'It's a first-look deal, which means Netflix gets first dibs but no obligation to bankroll every semi-royal whim. 'I reckon Netflix is trimming fat industry-wide, so this is less carte blanche, more curated cameo. 'They're still in business together - Meghan's. As ever brand and seasonal specials keep them in the Netflix shop window but make no mistake, this is a slimmed-down sequel to the blockbuster original. So Harry and Meghan's new Netflix chapter [is] less champagne budget, more Prosecco by the glass.' Netflix has already released the first series of With Love, Meghan as well as Polo, Heart of Invictus, Live to Lead and the couple's bombshell documentary Harry & Meghan as well as being a business partner on Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever. Five years ago, Harry and Meghan secured a lucrative contract thought to be worth $100million (£74million) with Netflix after quitting as senior working royals in 2020. The renewed deal was described by the Sussexes - who made the announcement with Netflix - as 'extending their creative partnership' through Archewell Productions. But the new terms are understood to be worth less for Harry and Meghan than their previous contract, according to a person familiar with the deal, and represent Netflix loosening its ties with the couple. In a statement, Meghan said: 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand.' Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria said: 'We're excited to continue our partnership.'

How Starmer and Sunak inspired new Netflix drama
Actress Suranne Jones visited the House of Commons to watch Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak 'battle against each other' in preparation for playing the prime minister in a new Netflix drama. In Netflix's new drama, Hostage, Jones plays a fictional British prime minister whose husband is kidnapped. On her preparation for the role, Jones said: 'We spoke to people in positions of power. 'We went to the House of Commons, and we watched Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer battle against each other. 'We met with the Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle. We looked at Nicola Sturgeon. And Jacinda Ardern (the former prime minister of New Zealand). 'We looked at Theresa May. And Lucy Powell (MP for Manchester Central). 'We had fun developing it. It made me think about what being a woman of power means, and what it costs.' She added: 'The whole thing is about you, your family unit, how women split themselves between work and home, what the cost is, how you want to be portrayed, how the world perceives you as a woman, and what you have to battle with, before you start your day. 'All of that is going on before you put your heels on. 'And you might not want to put your heels on. And your power suit. But actually, you have to in order to make a mark in the room.' The series, which will be released on the streaming platform on August 21, sees Julie Delpy play a fictional visiting French president who is blackmailed, leaving the two leaders to face unimaginable choices. Jones rose to fame playing Karen McDonald on ITV soap Coronation Street, and the actress is due to star in the third series of BBC police drama Vigil, which is being filmed this year with a release date yet to be announced. The full interview can be read in the latest edition of Radio Times magazine.

Reality TV star explains why being a housewife is ‘very empowering'
On the surface, The Real Housewives franchise may just seem like a reality TV series where rich women traverse through life in their respective mansions and cities – but for the new cast of the 30th instalment, The Real Housewives Of London, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that has landed in their laps. The six bold, stylish and glamorous women, who will be balancing ambition, family and friendships on the show, include social media influencer Juliet Angus, 48, Panthea Parker, 51, who is known for her high-society lifestyle and social circle, and former actress turned creative producer, Juliet Mayhew, 48. Former cast member of The Real Housewives Of Jersey, Karen Loderick-Peace, 50, also makes a return, and is joined by the founder of the Chelsea Cake Company, Nessie Welschinger, 42, alongside Amanda Cronin, 56, who runs both Amanda Caroline Beauty and The Secret Door. Across 10 episodes, Hayu's first-ever original series will follow the cast as they navigate their day-to-day lives, excel in various industries, and make their mark across some of the most prestigious parts of the capital. Like all franchises of The Real Housewives – the first ever iteration was The Real Housewives Of Orange County, which aired on March 21, 2006 – there will be lavish dinners, luxury escapes and the constant rebuilding of bonds over bottles of champagne. At the end of the series, Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan, 42, will host a reunion special. But the ultimate goal for this cast is to 'entertain people so they can switch off, forget about real life, their problems and all the tragedies the world is facing'. Ahead of the release of The Real Housewives Of London, the housewives discuss where their confidence comes from and the legacy of the franchise. What it means to be a housewife in society has changed. What does being a housewife mean to you? Karen Loderick-Peace: It's empowering for me because we're running our household. We're looking after our children. We have patience and time for our husbands, and we have our everyday career lives. To call yourself a housewife, to wear that crown, is very empowering for me and the girls. Juliet Angus: We're a modern version of a housewife. We can do it all. Maybe not perfectly, all the time, but we try. We want to be businesswomen. We also want to be great partners and mothers. Juliet Mayhew: I think the greatest honour and the greatest roles I've ever had the privilege to play are wife and mother. And that doesn't take away from anything else that we do, but that's certainly where my starting point is. I think to be able to have the platform now to be on Housewives is a huge honour. Amanda Cronin: Housewives is a brand, a franchise. When you think about where it started in Orange County and where it is today, rebranding is not ideal. But today, the Housewives are powerful women, independent and hard-working businesswomen, the face of modern women in society. Why is it important to show the diversity of women on screen? JM: We all come from different places in life. We've had different experiences, and it's really important to focus on that uniqueness and celebrate it. We bring different aspects, different opinions, different passions, and I think it's interesting for us to reflect and respect that. KLP: Sometimes we think the world is so open and understands everyone's culture, but there are still people in the world who aren't quite educated about other cultures. So it's nice for us to show our diverse, true, authentic selves, to educate others. We're all people, and we can get along. And if you cut us, we all bleed. London is a melting pot of people from all walks of life – it's a big deal for us to represent that. How has London contributed to who you are today? AC: I see her as a woman. She will chew you up and spit you out if you don't respect her. You have to be careful. I've had to learn a lot from being in London. I came with no friends, no contacts and and had to make my way. She's tough, but at the end of the day, London protected me when I needed her, and she's always been there for me at a time when I had a situation where maybe I would have had to leave the UK and live abroad in Monaco. I chose London. She made me who I am today, but she's a cruel mistress. Nessie Welschinger: I was born and bred in London. So I spent all my childhood here. And obviously, I also come from immigrant parents who moved from Singapore and Egypt to find a home in London. Growing up in a multicultural home and experiencing different walks of life, particularly in London, I truly believe that has shaped who I am today. That's opened my eyes to the difference that London makes to the rest of the world. I feel like The Real Housewives Of London brings out the best of London. Where does you confidence come from? JM: My journey has been fuelled by my faith. I've been blessed with incredible parents who prayed for me and spoke words of affirmation over me from the day I was born. And I do that with my children. I look to what God says about me, I'm uniquely created in His image. I'm a child of God. I sit at the right hand of Christ. That's something that I hold on to, and it helps me every day. Panthea Parker: It just always came naturally to me. I think I've been confident since I was eight-years-old, and I've never had a problem with it. Even though I'm not religious, God is within me. I really believe in God deeply, and I think that things happen for a reason. I know it sounds ridiculous to say maybe God wanted me to do the show, but it landed on my lap. My Instagram – compared to everybody else's, which is open – was closed, and they still found me. If anything, I would say that this show has actually brought my confidence a bit down. I've just always lived my life being me, but in this show, sometimes just being you – with five Alphas – can start to play with your head.
