And Chloe went public with her new man, Ruben Moreira, in February, as she moved on from her former romance with Toby Aromolaran, 25.
Now, in a sweet Instagram story where she went social media official with her beau, the star wished him happy birthday, while enjoying their holiday in the Maldives.
Pouting next to her man while wearing a white top and pink earrings, she said: 'Happy bday baby hunny princess ruben_moreira1 long live the queen x.
'Also yes I don't tan cba being on holiday with u is annoying.'
Chloe's new man Ruben could be seen standing next to her looking dapper in a white top, while on holiday.
A source previously told us about their budding relationship, saying: "It's early days for Chloe and Ruben but they have known each other a while through Liam Reardon and they get on like a house on fire.
"They holidayed in Australia together in a big group at the start of the year and romance blossomed there.
"Now they are on holiday together in Dubai, so it's heating up.
"Chloe thinks he's gorgeous and she knows he's a decent bloke as she trusts Liam wouldn't be mates with someone who wasn't a good guy."

Chloe met Ruben through fellow Love Island 2021 co-star Liam Reardon, as the two men are friends.
Liam dates Chloe's BFF and co-star Millie Court.
Millie and Liam proved the eventual winners of their reality TV series.
Yet they have faced relationship struggles of their own, splitting up before reuniting for their next chapter together.
Meanwhile, Chloe and her man have already jetted off on holiday together, and lapped up the sun in Dubai in February.
Chloe, who shot to fame on Love Island's 2021 season, posted a picture on her Instagram Stories of her and Ruben at the time.
Fans immediately took this to mean she was "soft launching" her new relationship.
Taking to Reddit, one wrote: "Love that for her. That's literally so fun for the four of them as friends, hope it all works out!!"
While another said: "So happy for Chloe."
This one added: "This is great news."
Chloe took to her Instagram Stories to capture their cute date night at Shimmers eatery, with a plate of fresh fish and salad seen on the table.
Another snap saw her posing for a sultry selfie with the caption: "Get me to bed with some Brooklyn Nine Nine now."

Sabrina Carpenter fans are 'missing point' of controversial new album cover
Fans of singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter have been left divided after she shared the cover art for her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, which will be released in August When Sabrina Carpenter unveiled her upcoming album's cover, set for release this summer, it instantly ignited a storm of controversy about its underlying message – but some music fans argue that critics are "missing the point". The diminutive songstress has carved out a niche with her infectious tunes that cleverly weave satire and societal observations, all delivered in her distinctively bold and risqué pop princess style. The 26-year-old songbird has been navigating the music scene for more than 10 years, with her first album dropping in 2015. However, it was her fifth studio offering, Emails I Can't Send, released in 2022, that began turning heads on a larger scale. Her 2024 hit track, Espresso, fully propelled her into the limelight and secured her position as a pop star. Her sixth album, Short n' Sweet, soon followed and took the music world by storm – clinching the top spot on the Billboard 200 and earning her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2025. Recently, the singer confirmed on Instagram with a duo of pictures that her latest album, Man's Best Friend, is slated for an August 29 release. The album cover features Sabrina down on her knees with what seems to be a man's hand gripping her hair. Accompanying this is a second photo, which zooms in on a blonde puppy sporting a light blue dog collar adorned with a gold heart, etched with the album's name. The controversial announcement has raked in more than four million likes so far but it's sparked a deluge of comments from people upset by Sabrina's perceived submission in the first image, especially during such a politically tumultuous time for women. Instagram users flooded the comments with their thoughts. One said: "Love Sabrina - but this picture - why is the man in there like that? It's not a very empowering image for women." Another voiced their confusion: "Explain to me again how this isn't centering men? How this isn't catering to the male gaze?" A third remarked: "Okay - it's sarcastic? Satire? Art? Symbolism? But what about the men or boys who see this on billboards, on Instagram, in music promos - and consciously or not, internalise that this is what power looks like: a man objectifying a woman. Does that image challenge objectification or reinforce it?" TikTok pop culture commentator Holden Smith – who boasts 178,000 followers – labelled the debate over the album artwork "so wild". In a widely viewed video, Smith said: "To me, it just felt very 'Sabrina'. 'Man's best friend' is a dog, a female dog is also called a b***h. "Sabrina on all fours, with a man pulling her hair, is feeding into that. I believed, in a cheeky way." The content creator then addressed some of the extreme reactions and continued: "There are a lot of social media comments saying that this is extremely degrading and that she has set women back hundreds of years and, to me, that is a crazy statement." Holden speculated: "Sabrina could also be using the cover to hold a mirror up to the public and say, 'this is how you guys are saying that you see me, for the male gaze rather than for the female gaze'." Smith then said: "I found it extremely interesting that this is the main conversation around her new album. As someone who was the breakout artist of the year last year, who truly got, like, no negative press; this switch up feels kind of crazy - especially when she's giving us a second album in two years." Holden expressed disappointment that the album announcement wasn't met with joy, noting it "felt like it should be a crazy happy announcement" rather than sparking intense debate over its cover. Sabrina, who doesn't shy away from expressing her sexuality and sense of fun, has yet to elaborate on the provocative choice of imagery for her latest album.

Wynne Evans returning to radio for ‘amazing community' who ‘supported me'
The 53-year-old announced he had been dropped from his BBC Radio Wales show in May after apologising for using 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing tour. The Welsh opera singer said he will present The Wynne Evans Show from next week, live every weekday from 9am to 12pm on the website Evans said of the show: 'This show is for my amazing community – The Wynners – who've supported me through thick and thin. 'After so many messages and calls asking me to come back, I knew I had to do something special. 'This show is my way of giving back – a space where we can come together every morning, share a laugh, play the music we love, and just be ourselves. It's more than a show – it's a proper family.' The programme will be a mix of music, chat and guests hosted by the singer, who is best known for his appearances on the insurance adverts. Earlier this year, he apologised for language that he called 'inappropriate and unacceptable' after The Mail On Sunday reported that Evans was heard making a remark to a woman in a video filmed during the Strictly launch event. It is understood he was given a warning over the remark by tour producers. In January, he said: 'I've agreed with the BBC that I'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing. 'I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. 'Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.' The singer, who won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef, told the Sun on Sunday earlier this month that the Strictly comment was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast but was a nickname for fellow contestant, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick. He told the paper: 'I didn't see the statement. 'Old spit-roast boy' was a nickname for Jamie Borthwick. I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a misogynist, I'm not any of these things.' Evans added: 'And so I went: 'I'm so sorry', and that was taken as a formal apology, so the press team issued a statement. I didn't see it. 'When I read the apology within the context of the story as it had been written, I was absolutely horrified.' In May, Evans claimed in an interview with the newspaper that he had not seen the apology statement before it was issued, an assertion believed to have been dismissed by the BBC It is understood any statement issued on Evans' behalf by the BBC was fully approved by him, and the singer also posted his own statement on Instagram in which he apologised. During his time on Strictly, there was controversy over footage showing him placing his hand on his professional partner Katya Jones' waist, which she moved. They both apologised claiming it had been a 'joke'. The Wynne Evans Show will launch on June 16.

Danish influencer slammed for 'damaging' Skye beauty spot
August Vallat, who goes by the username outdoorgingerchannel and has more than a million followers on Instagram alone, has been told to 'show some respect' after he allegedly damaged a protected beauty spot in the Outer Hebrides. Locals reportedly discovered scorched trees, felled birch wood, and discarded bottles at the Cuillin Hills, near Glenbrittle, which prompted widespread outrage on social media. Vallat, who regularly promotes the ethics of leaving no trace while camping outdoors in his videos, has been accused of hypocrisy after allegedly leaving the area where he stayed 'like a festival site'. Walkers visiting the site after Vallat had stayed allegedly found burnt grass, food wrappers, and trees damaged, the International Business Times reported. READ MORE: Plans for Sicilian-flavoured spaghetti Western backed entirely by female funders Vallat has reportedly deleted several posts from social media relating to his time at Glenbrittle and has blocked people from commenting on certain videos on his Instagram account. In one video posted on Wednesday, which is still on his Instagram, Vallat states he's going to 'survive' in Scotland for three days. In the short clip, he can be seen using an open fire on top of what appears to be a grass verge. Later in the same video, he can be seen, along with two other men he said were Scots, adding what appears to be tree branches to the open fire. Vallat says at the end of the video: 'It's more beautiful than most of the nature I have seen in my life.' However, people have been quick to criticise the Dane with one person commenting under the video: 'What a shame that you think it's ok to come to the Isle of Skye and cut down trees. 'Spread rubbish everywhere. Damage the ground with your fires. 'You then complained when a well known mountaineer 'hurt your feelings' for telling you to clear up your rubbish as you camped on the Cuillin, one of the most spectacular places in the world. 'Unbelievable. Go and educate yourself.' Meanwhile, a second person said: 'Scotland is 'the most beautiful nature' you've seen, yet you choose to come here and cut down trees, leave scars on the landscape from your fire and basically leave it less beautiful than when you arrived. 'How dare you treat our country like this. 'If you actually give a shit about the outdoors, I hope that you take a good hard look at how you have been behaving and think about what you are encouraging your followers to do. They added: 'Show some respect for these beautiful places that you are lucky enough to travel through and the people who live here.' In another video, Vallat and the two other men are then seen drinking bottles of beer while standing in a waterfall. One person commented: 'Leave no trace means exactly that — leave no trace. 'You should be ashamed of the way you vandalised the natural environment.' However, Vallat has denied the claims that he left any of the areas in poor states after he visited them, as he said the reports were 'fake news'. He said: 'The article is fake news. We did not leave any trash behind us at the campsite. 'I don't even know how this got in a journal. 'I have been camping for three years, and I have never had a problem like this so don't believe in everything you see on the Internet.'
