Jess has been sharing pictures from her trip on social media, but has kept Jermaine out of any public ones.
Friends say she has been posting lots of pictures of them on her Facebook and they look like “a very loved up couple on their holidays”.
Jess, who rose to fame on Ex On The Beach, was left heartbroken last year after her boyfriend – old school pal Matthew Cook, abruptly dumped her.
Prior to that she dated footballer Samir Carruthers but they split after a year of dating.
She was previously married to rugby player Denny Solomona.
Jess told The Sun her world began to crumble in 2018 when her marriage collapsed and she tried to take her own life.
Jermaine’s love life has been just as rocky thanks to his on/off romance with wife Alice Goodwin.
The couple finally called in quits for good in 2020 after nine years being together and even appeared on Celebs Go Dating in a bid to rescue the relationship.
