EXCLUSIVE Love Island's Olivia Hawkins and Too Hot to Handle star Louis Russell are 'all over each other' as pair break show rules by 'growing close' on Celebs Go Dating
Love Island: All Stars ' Olivia Hawkins has 'grown close' to former Too Hot to Handle contestant Louis Russell during filming of Celebs Go Dating. The pair have broken show rules by being 'all over each other' in Ibiza, where the cast, which includes Kerry Katona and Christine McGuinness are currently shooting the new season. MailOnline understands the reality pair have become each other's love interests despite the premise of the series being for celebrities to date contestants who aren't famous. According to a TV source, Olivia, 29, who starred on Love Island in 2023 before returning for the All Stars series earlier this year, has fallen for Louis, known for his appearances on Netflix 's Too Hot to Handle. They aren't the first couple to break the show's rules after Lottie Moss and Adam Collard started dating after being cast on the same season in 2023. Joey Essex also romanced The Hills' Stephanie Pratt after they met during filming and Made In Chelsea's Sophie Hermann hooked up with DJ Tom Zanetti. A TV insider revealed: 'Olivia and Russell are all over each other. 'It's only been days since filming for Celebs Go Dating started in Ibiza but they're already so close. 'They are very much each other's types and the attraction was instant, it's just not ideal for producers. 'The show has become famous for celebrities hooking up instead of forming long-lasting relationships with the contestants, which is the whole point.' After starring on Too Hot to Handle, the Netflix show which challenges contestants who are afraid to commit to in relationships change their ways, on two separate occasions, Louis claims he's finally ready for a 'real partner.' He said of joining the dating agency, which is overseen by relationship expert Paul C. Brunson and Anna Williamson: 'I'm really excited to join the agency... it feels like a fresh start for me in dating. I'm ready to move away from hookups and focus on finding a real partner.' This year's singletons on Celebs Go Dating include Christine, who will be exploring romantic connections with men and women, former S Club 7 singer Jon Lee, and Kerry, who previously featured on the show in 2019. Mother-of-three Christine, who hasn't publicly dated since her separation from TV presenter Paddy McGuinness, has signed up to the programme to help pay for the ex-couple's costly divorce. MailOnline has contacted Celebs Go Dating and Olivia's spokesperson for comment. After starring on Too Hot to Handle, the Netflix show which challenges contestants who are afraid to commit to in relationships change their ways, on two separate occasions, Louis claims he's finally ready for a 'real partner' Like Louis, Olivia has also struggled to find a partner despite two appearances on Love Island. The influencer, who says she has never had a boyfriend, dated former Blazin' Squad star Marcel Somerville during her appearance on the All Stars series but their romances was short-lived. She had a flirtatious connection with co-star Luca Bish but their attraction didn't lead to anything. In an interview with MailOnline before her stint on Love Island: All Stars, Olivia said: 'Since the show, my dating has actually got worse. 'I haven't been on many dates, I have focused on myself, and I have always been an independent person, for a long time and throughout my 20s but it's definitely the right time, I'm ready to settle down now. 'I do find it hard to let people in, it's hard to trust people but I am starting to let my walls down a bit, and I feel ready to start letting people in.'

Spencer Pratt shares the secret to his successful marriage with Heidi Montag after 17 years
There's nothing superficial about this relationship. After meeting on 'The Hills' as 22-year-olds living out their dreams in Los Angeles, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag knew they had found the one. They have been married for 17 years and share sons Gunner, 7, and Ryker, 2, and are rebuilding their lives after losing their house in the Pacific Palisades fires. 8 Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt pose for a portrait at Spotify Studios on August 29, 2023. Roger Kisby Through it all, they have each other — something that has never wavered since the early aughts. And there's a key reason behind their successful union. 'I always go back to comedy. Heidi's so funny. I have a lot of dark humor,' the Pratt Daddy Crystals founder, 41, exclusively told The Post at Hulu's Get Real event. 'And my mom always calls her like all Pollyanna or Mary Poppins because pre our house burning down, we had a lot of like first world problems, real-life problems, and she always just stayed so positive.' Taking a moment to gush over his other half, Pratt added, 'It's just more Heidi being an angel that makes it a lot easier. I always say like, 'I don't know if marriage would work out if I wasn't married to you.'' 8 Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt attend Hulu's Get Real House at Casa Lago on April 22, 2025. Getty Images Along with being a wife and mother, Montag, 38, is fresh off her Coachella debut after the pop star's music career exploded in January. Montag's 2010 debut album 'Superficial' went No. 1 on the iTunes chart 15 years later, and she hasn't stopped since. 'Shout out, Kourtney Kardashian and Poosh,' Pratt exclaimed. 'Even though I'm a Swiftie, I ride for Kourtney Kardashian. She never said anything about Taylor, so neutral grounds, so I'm safe here. But yeah, it was incredible. The event was unbelievable.' The father-of-two noted there were some technical difficulties, but 'Heidi powered through it.' 8 Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag take their two boys Gunner and Ryker out to a pumpkin patch in Los Angeles. MEGA 'Once your house burns down and your whole town, you start really believing anything's possible,' reiterated Pratt. 'I was always like, 'Crystals. Manifesting. Put positive energy [out there].' And then your whole life, starting from zero, you're like, anything can happen. So, it is unbelievable.' For Montag, it's time to go harder. 'Heidi's performing in San Francisco for Pride for 23,000 people. Seattle for 20,000 people and Mighty Hoopla in London for 30,000,' Pratt proudly revealed. 'These are clearly just miracles, and I'm all in.' 8 Heidi Montag performs at Camp Poosh. / BACKGRID 8 Heidi Montag performs at Camp Poosh put on by Kourtney Kardashian. / BACKGRID The TikTok sensation knows it is all thanks to the fans who keep streaming, downloading and reposting Montag's music. 'People watching this, and posting and sharing, there's no label or network that's making this happen. It's the people that are supporting Heidi and myself and our family,' confessed Pratt. 'So that's the most empowering piece of it. It is not a gimmick – these are real people pushing Heidi.' Pratt always knew his wife, whose new single 'No Going Home' about losing their house is out now, was destined for stardom. Now, after a collaboration with Pitbull for Montag's song 'I'll Do It,' there are many more surprises in the works for fans. 8 Heidi Montag at Camp Poosh. Shane Drummond/ 'There are some pretty amazing ones already done that I'm not allowed to talk about,' Pratt teased. 'Shout out, Pitbull! Like, what an angel. He was sick, and he's like, 'I'm sick, give me a week.' So I'll always be like team Pitbull forever.' Loyal followers will remember when Montag went head to head with Bad Bunny and The Weeknd for that No. 1 spot on the charts – which she won. So, naturally, Pratt thinks a collaboration with either artist would be epic. 'I really wanted Bad Bunny because of us fighting for number one,' he confessed. 'Either Bad Bunny or The Weeknd. I feel like [it] would be funny because of taking their number one spot. But there's so many incredible artists we met. It's not really the same sound, but obviously we love Gracie Abrams. There's just so many incredible artist, so that's the whole point of music, is collabing and being with cool people. I'll take whoever wants to work with Heidi.' 8 Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag attend Hulu's Get Real House at Casa Lago on April 22, 2025. Getty Images With big things brewing behind the scenes, viewers can also catch Pratt back on their television screens in the new Hulu reality competition series 'Got to Get Out.' Pratt lived in a mansion for 10 days with other contestants while they competed to win challenges and a grand prize of one million dollars. 'The Bold and the Beautiful' actor is no stranger to causing chaos in front of the cameras, and this time around was no different. 8 Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag at Revolve Festival 2025. Getty Images for Revolve 'Right off the jump, I asked the producers, 'What level Spencer do you want?' And they're like, We just want you to try to win the million dollars,'' Pratt recalled. 'So, I was very invested in getting the million dollars. So, it was the most fun I've ever had – without Heidi obviously – doing the reality show. It's an incredible game, and I loved all the cast. We are in a group chat that messages more than my mom!' All episodes of 'Got to Get Out' are now streaming on Hulu.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Developing a Hulu Project About Losing Their Home in Pacific Palisades
'The Hills' reality stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are developing a project with Hulu about their lives in the aftermath of losing their home in the Pacific Palisades in the fires that devastated Los Angeles in January. Pratt shared the news while the couple was participating in a conversation at the Variety Entertainment Marketing Summit presented by Deloitte on Thursday. More from Variety Issa Rae and Hoorae Team on 'Scrappy' Marketing Plan for Debut Film 'One of Them Days,' And If There Will Be a Sequel 'The Notebook' Author Nicholas Sparks Outlines His Rules for Writing Novels: 'What Are the Ages of the Characters Who Will Fall in Love?' Entertainment Marketing Summit to Gather Major Industry Leaders, Lessons Learned From 'A Minecraft Movie' and 'Longlegs' The two said they would be open to doing a series that revolves around rebuilding their lives after the loss. They also have been looking to do a series on their family in general. 'The music would be part of it, our family life, our dynamic, our team,' Montag said during the session moderated by Kate Aurthur, editor at large for Variety. A series is not officially in the works yet. 'If not Hulu, I hear YouTube is really easy to work with,' Pratt said, drawing laughs from the audience who had heard about YouTube's marketing strategies earlier during the event held at Neuehouse in Hollywood. The pair also shared an update about their general situation. When asked about whether they would rebuild their home, Montag said the couple were unsure if they could, given the high cost and insurance issues. 'We're kind of just going to take it one day at a time,' Montag said. The couple and their children live in Santa Barbara at the moment. 'The good news is the hummingbirds are coming back,' Pratt said. Pratt talked about rallying people to financial support the family by streaming Montag's album, 'Superficial.' He admitted that he found it was difficult to turn a profit. 'One thing I learned about the music business is, it takes a lot to make money,' he said. 'Yes, we made some money, but I probably should have just done more cameos,' Pratt added. Montag teared up speaking about how the couple dealt with the situation and how Pratt would livestream on TikTok to boost support for the family. 'I was really with the kids and having to put them in a new school and move them, and it's emotional, and just be able to talk them through kind of what was going on. So I was really proud of Spencer, and it was incredible for him to be able to do that for our family, and to have our kids be able to have that as an example as well, and to show that you can move forward,' Montag said. Pratt also explained his approach to using social media, a tool that didn't exist in the days of 'The Hills,' to build an audience. 'I feel like the more you engage with the communities, whatever platform you're on, and just be in the comment section… I'm responding as many DMss and writing back and sending emails. And I feel like that keeps people understanding who you are, and they want to support you,' Pratt said. Most recently, the couple appeared on the Hulu reality competition series 'Got to Get Out.' Pratt said he's been pitching an idea for a show tied to Montag's music. 'I don't know if Hulu, ABC, Disney have blocked me because the amount of texts, emails I've sent like 'Hey, we can do our own show with like, Heidi being a pop star in 15 countries where she's No. 1,' ' Pratt said. The couple also talked about how they were able use the paparazzi ecosystem to their advantage over the years. Pratt broke down the series of events that led to his partnerships with paparazzi, and Montag explained their reasoning for establishing those relationships. 'When we started talking to Perez, we were really looked down upon for talking [to him],' Montag said. She said the couple were advised to 'stay away,' but they, thought 'Why wouldn't we be in with him? Doesn't that make more sense?' Up next, Montag has a performance at Mighty Hoopla festival in June. She said it will be her 'biggest performance' to date. 'I'm very excited for that,' Montag said.

Kristin Cavallari denies dating A-lister after rumors swirled for years
Kristin Cavallari is setting the record straight. Cavallari, 38, took to her podcast to clarify who she has and hasn't dated while going over some recent headlines that have surfaced. An article claiming to have the complete dating history of the "Laguna Beach" star caught her eye – especially two names that she hasn't been romantically connected to. "I'm just going to give you two of the ones that aren't true just to show you what bulls--- this is because, again, there's not fact-checking… The first one that's not true is Chris Evans," the TV star said on "Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari." "Chris Evans and I had a similar friend group and I think that we were at an event one night and there was a group of us there," Cavallari began. "We saw each other socially." "I never dated Chris Evans," she insisted. "Ever, ever, ever. Didn't even go on one date with him. Literally nothing ever happened. And there's been these rumors for years that we dated. Well, we never dated." "It's not f---ing true, so you can remove him from my dating portfolio. Thank you very much." Cavallari also said she had never dated "The Hills" star Justin Bobby. "I've said that a thousand times. I never saw him outside of filming. Never, ever. Not one time did I see him outside of filming. I think the only time I kissed him is when they asked me to kiss him on camera. And listen, back in the day I was like, 'Yes, I'm a team player.' I was getting paid for 'The Hills' like I would a scripted show. Like yeah, I'll do that. Made it more fun for me." The reality TV star said the perceived relationship at the time was "all for the show." Cavallari has admitted to a romantic connection between herself and country star Morgan Wallen. At the time, neither Wallen nor Cavallari seemed to be looking for a serious romantic relationship. However, the "Laguna Beach" star opened up about their time together – admitting the country music star "was good in bed." "At the time, quite honestly, I was like, 'I kind of just want a f--- buddy in Nashville,'" Cavallari admitted to Bunnie Xo, wife of country music star Jelly Roll. "That's really hard to find here for some reason. And I wanted to make Morgan that, but..." "He's a great f--- buddy," she noted, before later adding: "But he was so busy, honestly, that it was just like, 'Why the f--- am I like – what are we doing? This is silly.'" Cavallari was also recently linked to TikToker Mark Estes. The two dated for about seven months. The reality star admitted she ended things with Estes due to their 13-year age gap. "Mark and I broke up," she said on her "Let's Be Honest" podcast at the time. "It's hard, because I broke up with Mark because I just know long-term it's not right, and it's not because of love lost or something bad happened. I just know long-term he needs to experience life. He's young," she said. "I started to feel the age a little bit with life experience." Cavallari was previously married to NFL star Jay Cutler. The former couple announced their divorce in 2020. "With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce," Cavallari wrote on social media at the time. "We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of." Cavallari and Cutler share three kids; daughter Saylor and sons Jaxon and Camden.

Former MTV reality star Lo Bosworth steps out in Miami after ‘surprise diagnosis'
Lo Bosworth's been through it, and come out the other side. On Saturday night, 'The Hills' and 'Laguna Beach' alum stepped out at the NEW YOU Awards at 1 Hotel South Beach looking fantastic in a red and pink ensemble. The 38-year-old entrepreneur picked up some hardware for her feminine-healthcare company, Love Wellness. Winning an award wasn't the only good news that the former MTV reality star has received lately. In an Instagram post last month, Bosworth revealed that after roughly a decade of dealing with various symptoms, she finally got an answer from her doctors. The upshot? Bosworth has endometriosis, an incurable condition in which tissue grows outside the uterine lining, often leading to fatigue, cramping, heavy periods and infertility. After undergoing excision surgery in February to remove the back of her uterus, appendix and six fibroids, she told her followers she noticed a huge improvement. 'How I've felt through it all? Grateful. Confused. Overwhelmed. Relieved. Validated. Scared. And … now recovering!' read the post. Being a so-called #endowarrior isn't the only thing that Bosworth has been dealing with over the years, she explained in a separate Substack article detailing her 'surprise' diagnosis. In 2019, she suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) when a swinging kitchen door fell onto her head at a restaurant in NYC. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the 'Gut Feeling' podcaster came down with the disease four times. All the while, she still grapples with chronic pain in both her back and neck from a childhood car accident. 'My always-on symptoms, to me, were explainable. I figured I was simply a sometimes unlucky woman in the low-grade health issues department,' continued her lengthy post. 'Or low-grade because everyone else treated them as if they didn't matter much, and that sucking it up was always the right thing to do.' The California native ends the Substack with her go-forward plan: 'Heal. Pray my symptoms don't come back. Spread awareness. Share my story. Do research. Educate myself. Educate others.'
