Love Island’s AJ Bunker reveals she’s found love 3 years after show after meeting new man on Hinge
LOVE Island star AJ Bunker has found love three years after the show after meeting her new man on Hinge.
AJ, 31, said she is smitten with her new tattooed new boyfriend Jason after he swept her off her feet following a series of romantic dates.
The reality star, who appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2021, said the pair have been enjoying a three month romance after her friends forced her to try dating apps.
Despite being anxious to give online dating a go, AJ said she is glad she did it after meeting businessman Jason.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, AJ said: “I’m with my boyfriend – finally, we’re on our honeymoon period. It’s been three months now.
“We met actually on Hinge. My best friend forced me onto Hinge.
“I box now and I don’t go out and she said I need to start dating and made my profile with me.
“And over winter time, I was looking through and didn’t expect much and he just came along.”
The TV beauty gushed: “He’s treating me good. The last guy I dated was a pathological liar. So it’s so far so good, it’s also our first three months – so we’ll see, I feel like this is when the real stuff happens.
He has nothing to do with social media, he actually owns a steel company.
It’s our first public outing and he didn’t know what to expect.
When asked if he knew she was famous, AJ said: “Not when we matched on Hinge, then I told him and he did the whole Googling and researching.
“I think he kind of liked the fact that I boxed and he didn’t know that I did Love Island.”
The pair looked happier than ever as they attended the Maybelline summer event in London on Tuesday.
A source told The Sun: “AJ looked in high spirits all night, she was spotted with a hunky mystery man and the pair looked very cute.
“They were together all night and just looked happy to be in each other’s company.
“It was lovely to see AJ find happiness.”
AJ didn’t find romance on Love Island and admitted she was gutted to enter the villa only to find out her crush Brad had already been sent home.
She has since taken a surprising new career path now – battling it out on Celebrity MMA on June 24.
The hair extension technician will battle former Playboy model Carla Howe and it seems the sparks are already flying.
At a press conference last month, the Love Island star was kicked in the crotch and scratched on the face by her opponent and there has been a lot of trash talk online.
AJ said: “I’ve gone from lover to fighter and can’t wait for my fight. I’m going to knock her head off.”
