The couple have been enjoying their time together over the past year since leaving the show. The model and activist was the first deaf contestant on Love Island and admitted she "didn't expect to find someone like Andrew". But her boyfriend has even been a "voice" for her since leaving the show after she felt pressure to act a certain way because she wore a cochlear implant throughout her time on the show.
They recently jetted to Spain for Tasha's seventh holiday this year where they were seen soaking up the sun in Marbella and keeping fans up to date with some snaps on Instagram. So far this year, they've enjoyed holidays in Cornwall, Australia, Paris, Spain, Mexico and California.
To celebrate their one-year anniversary this summer, the couple headed on a romantic trip away to Paris. Sharing the trip to Instagram, Tasha wrote: "A year ago today I asked you to be my boyfriend and a year later here we are! You’re the kindest, sweetest, loving person I’ve ever met. Thank you for being the light in my life, the best light. Here’s to many more memories and giggles with you! Let’s go drink some more champs, ily!!!"
