Rylan Clark has shared a series of romantic snaps from his recent holiday in the Maldives with boyfriend Kennedy Bates. The TV presenter, 37, confirmed his relationship with the funfair boss in August and took to Instagram on Friday to document their 'perfect' trip.
The couple stayed at the Adaaran Select Meedhupparu hotel, where they enjoyed cocktails on the beach and sunbathing. Kennedy drew a heart on Rylan's back with suncream, and the pair were seen holding hands while taking in the scenery. They also swam together in the ocean before joining friends for dinner.
Rylan captioned the post: 'Maldives. You were perfect. New year, new friends, new beginnings.' Kennedy replied: 'A fantastic little holiday we had.' Friends including Rob Rinder, Zoe Ball, Craig David and Christine McGuinness expressed their delight at seeing Rylan happy, five years after his divorce from Dan Neal.
Rylan first spoke about his relationship with Kennedy on Louis Theroux's podcast last year, saying he had been 'blatant' about their romance and had introduced Kennedy to his family. The couple have also discussed having children together.
