Love Island’s Jess ‘soft launches’ new boyfriend with Towie star brother on TikTok
LOVE Island’s Jess Spencer has moved on as she ‘soft launches’ her new man – who is a Towie star’s brother.
The reality beauty, 25, took to TikTok to share a video of her and her new squeeze just months after splitting from Ayo Odukoya.
The TikTok showed the mystery man put his arm around her as the couple walked through a Christmas market together.
Jess looked all loved up as she lip-synced to SZA’s popular track Big Boy captioning the post “Itss cuffinnnng seaaaasoooonn”.
Fans raced to the comments to try and work out who her new boyfriend was. One person said: “Already know this is an upgrade”
“jessss!! who that ina back????” wrote a second.
Love Island winner Mimii Ngulube, who had previously been coupled up with Jess’s ex Ayo on the ITV2 dating show, commented: “ Hell Yeah (heart eyes emoji)”
Fellow cast member Jessy Potts also penned, “Oooooooo soft launch !!!”
The Sun can reveal that Jess’s new man is the brother of Towie star Roman Hackett, 22.
Braydon Hackett is a designer and creative director, as well as founding his own clothing company. He can also be seen on his socials enjoying a jet-setter lifestyle.
A source revealed: “It’s early days but Jess is dating Roman from Towie’s brother, Braydon Hackett. They’re getting on really well and all their friends hope that she’s found someone after the drama with Ayo.”
The news comes just two months after the brunette bombshell’s split from ex Ayo, Jess confirmed their breakup back in October after telling fans to “Let it go”.
The couple were not officially boyfriend and girlfriend when they left the villa but appeared to be going from strength to strength.
Rumours of a rift between the pair first sparked when Ayo removed any trace of Jess from his social media.
After posting a video of her outfit on TikTok, Jess was told: “Girl he needs to ask you [to be exclusive] yesterday.”
To which she replied to her follower, writing: “‘Girl says who?? The internet??
“He doesn’t need to ask me anything because we’re not together. Let it go.”
Ayo and Jess bagged fourth place in the villa, but their journey was anything but smooth sailing.
Drama erupted when Ayo made a shocking Casa Amor move, ditching Mimii for Jess—a decision that left viewers and islanders questioning his true feelings.
Despite committing to Jess, many were convinced Ayo still had feelings for Mimii.
Their connection remained a hot topic, sparking several heated arguments, even after Mimii moved on with Josh, her eventual winning partner.
The tension wasn’t just among the contestants it spilled into family day when Ayo’s brother admitted he wasn’t entirely sold on Jess, adding yet another layer to the controversy surrounding their relationship.
However, during the final episode, Ayo declared his love for Jess, saying: “I am obsessed with you.. I know we say ‘Love you’ in passing, but the reality of it is that I do love you.”
