Nicole Samuel has confirmed she's loved-up with someone new, six months after her split from Ciaran Davies. The two Welsh stars fell for each other in the Love Island villa last summer, ending up in second place, before revealing they'd split in early December. And Nicole, 25, has now moved on with another rugby player, Afan Lido's Dylan Williams with the pair making things Instagram official. Dylan, also 25, took to his Instagram to share a slew of photos from their sun-soaked holiday to Ibiza, showing the couple packing on the PDA at Wayne Lineker's O Beach. Nicole flaunted her slender figure in a tiny red bikini as she cosied up to her shirtless boyfriend and they shared a sweet kiss. 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. And she cemented their loved-up status, by commenting on the post: 'Love you' with a heart emoji, while Dylan quickly replied: 'love you too❤️'. It marked the first confirmation from the couple of their romance, after they previously sparked speculation from fans in April. Eagle-eyed followers noticed the pair shared identical snaps from the same car while on a road trip together. And last month, Nicole took to her Instagram Stories again to share a photo of the pair posing together during a summery day out. A source previously told The Sun: 'She's been dating Dylan Williams, a rugby player from her hometown, for a few weeks now. 'Things are going really well and he's supportive of her career.' Fans have been quick to point out the similarities between Nicole's new boyfriend and her Love Island ex Ciaran, who is also Welsh and plays rugby. Earlier this year, Nicole opened up to MailOnline about her split from Ciaran, insisting they ended on 'good terms' but struggled after 'drifting apart' after leaving the villa. She said: 'We are on good terms, nothing bad happened which makes it easier to deal with it. Coming out into the real world sometimes it just doesn't work and that's OK. 'In there it isn't real life and sometimes you come out and drift apart. We still get on and there's no resentment there.' While she also revealed that ITV approached her to sign up for the 2025 All Stars series, the day after she and Ciaran announced their breakup. Nicole said: 'I got asked to do it [All Stars] this year, but it is too soon. We announced the breakup on the Monday and the next day they were in contact, so it was too soon, I need time to heal. 'I'm not rushing from one thing to another boy. Mentally and physically I couldn't do it. I'm still processing the breakup. 'It's mad watching the people who were in there with me, that was us six months ago. I miss it but it is mad. I'm rooting for season 11 and Elma, she's my girl.' Speaking in January, Nicole insisted she wasn't planning to sign up to any dating apps any time soon, saying she wants to 'focus on being single'. She said: 'No dating apps, not dating at all at the moment, it's not for me. I want to focus on single me, not dating boys but being with my family, experience all the work I've got coming up. At the moment dating shows ain't for me.' A representative confirmed Ciaran and Nicole's split in December stating they had parted ways 'on amicable terms' four months after leaving the villa. They said: 'Over the last couple of days Nicole and Ciaran have made the mutual decision to part ways. 'They have left the relationship on amicable terms, and will remain good friends going forward.' However, following the split Nicole unfollowed Ciaran and deleted pictures of him from her social media, hinting that things were less than friendly between them.
