Love Island's Teddy Soares in 'loved-up' romance after Faye Winter split
Faye Winter admits he's "loved-up at the moment". The former Love Island star split from ex co-star Teddy six months ago and now insists he's "really happy". Teddy and Faye met while filming with ITV back in 2021.
They split up after 18 months together and have both kept a low profile, until now. Teddy revealed he's now dating a mystery woman, spilling all the details while speaking to reporters at a recent red carpet charity fundraiser event.
He confessed to "seeing someone" but didn't reveal the identity of his new flame, teasing that his new partner is a "total vibe" and that she makes him "very happy". Teddy has been single since February, but has clearly found love again.
"I am loved-up at the moment," he told The Sun. "Well maybe I shouldn't say loved-up but I am seeing someone and really happy." Speaking at the Pink Ribbon charity fundraiser for breast cancer, he added: "It is early days and I'm not going to say who it is. We are just taking our time and getting to know each other.
"I think at this stage we are just finding out about each other and becoming best friends which is really nice. She makes me very happy. She's a total vibe. I'm not sure I should be saying all this as I've not spoken about her before but yes I'm into her.
Corrie's Sue Cleaver says I'm A Celebrity stint helped her to push boundaries"She may not know it but yes I am really into her." It comes after Faye shared a cryptic dig on social media after Teddy claimed he still pays for her phone bill despite having been separated since February. She took to Instagram in August to post a mysterious Story.
Some fans speculated she was responding to her the former financial consultant's recent controversial comments. Speaking on the Laid Bare podcast earlier this year, Teddy insisted he is still on good terms with all of his exes – so much so, that he even foots the phone bill of his most recent partner.
"I don't hate any of my exes. It's all love. I still pay for my ex's phone bill right now," the 28-year-old revealed. The confession sparked quite the response from host Oloni, who quickly asked for more details.
"It's a 24 month contract," Teddy continued, before adding, "Obviously, I could have terminated it." When asked why he was continuing to pay, the Love Islander sighed and admitted, "To be honest... she could be calling Tom, Jerome...whoever."
Love Island viewers were left wondering if Faye's Instagram Story could be a response to Teddy's claims. The Celebrity Masterchef star shared a snap of her dogs and her dinner, a plate of chunky chips with white sauce, with the caption, "Just here trying to decide if I should choose violence."
She didn't offer elaboration on the post, but considering the timing of Teddy's comments, it could very well suggest she's angry at her fellow Islander over his tell-all interview. She's also ruled out any suggestions it could be aimed at her beloved dogs, writing, "God forbid I was talking about the pups" after the post blew up online.
