ELLA Morgan has updated fans on her relationship status with Celebs Go Dating boyfriend Alex.
The E4 show saw Ella, 30, go on a string of dates with eligible men but Alex ultimately stole her heart.
Speaking to Daily Record, the Married at First Sight UK star revealed “it was the worst kept secret” having to hide the pair’s relationship while Celebs Go Dating was airing.
She shared: “Me and Alex are still together. I don’t know what it was, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut because I was just so happy.
“Even now I just tell random people, “this is my boyfriend Alex” or I’ll show them a picture of me and him.
“Even though they probably don’t care I still want to show him off anyway. I’m really happy and he’s really happy, well I hope he is anyway.”
The reality star added: “People still message and ask if we are still together and, well, I wouldn’t be posting about him if we weren’t.”
Meanwhile, Ella opened up about how Alex has adapted to her public lifestyle.
“I actually had a conversation with him when we finished filming Celebs Go Dating and I explained this was my kind of life and if he didn’t want to be part of it I would understand”, she revealed.
Continuing, Ella said: “I obviously didn’t want it to stop us from still being together because I know it’s probably a lot for him, but he’s taken it really well and come to events and he is enjoying it.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily something he would want to do for himself – he’s happy to be on the sidelines.”
She also addressed how “supportive” fans have been of her new relationship.
Ella remarked: “Most of the comments have been so supportive on my new relationship and it has been so lovely.
“I think people just wanted me to find someone whether they watched me on MAFS or Celebs and now I’ve found someone people just love that I’ve found love – and it’s so nice.”
The star added: “He’s coped with it really well and we have a really honest and open relationship where we communicate how we feel about certain things.
“If he ever doesn’t want to come to an event, he doesn’t have to and it’s always his choice, but I do like having him there with me.”
A source previously told The Sun: “Ella and Alex have been inseparable since they met on Celebs Go Dating and have remained together since filming wrapped in July.
“They’ve finally made their relationship official after Ella brought Alex as a plus one to a number of recent high-profile events, such as the Married at First Sight launch.
