Love Island star Leah Taylor has officially confirmed her new romance with England and Aston Villa footballer Morgan Rogers, sharing intimate snaps from their romantic retreat in the Cotswolds.
Going Public with a New Romance
After her time in the Love Island villa ended without finding lasting love, Leah Taylor appears to have struck gold with her new beau. The 29-year-old reality TV star and influencer made her relationship with the 23-year-old sportsman Instagram official during a cosy break away.
She posted a series of images from their stay at the luxurious Cowley Manor Hotel near Cheltenham, with one picture subtly featuring Morgan from behind. Captioning the post "I like it here," Leah signalled her happiness with the new man in her life.
Inside the New Relationship
According to a source who spoke to The Sun, while it's still "early days" for the couple, things are progressing well. "They’ve been on a few dates and it’s going really well but it’s nothing serious yet," the insider revealed.
The source also indicated that Morgan Rogers was initially keen to keep the relationship private, but Leah's excitement got the better of her. "He wants to keep it under wraps, but Leah just couldn’t help herself... she’s due a bit of luck in love after her nightmare on Love Island," they added, referencing her previous split from villa partner Montel McKenzie.
Looking for Love with Intention
This new chapter comes after a period of healing for Leah. In a past interview with the Daily Mail, she expressed her readiness to find a serious partner. "I am genuinely at a place where I feel healed, and I am ready to date again. I would love to meet someone," she stated.
She emphasised that she is now dating with more purpose, explaining, "I want the next man I'm with to be my husband and that is so much pressure." Leah also noted that while she was in no rush, she was open to settling down with the right person, adding, "I'm going to start manifesting it."
Before embarking on this romance with Morgan, Leah had even expressed doubts about returning for a potential Love Island All Stars series, unsure if she could face the villa again. Now, it seems her focus is firmly on building a connection away from the reality TV spotlight.
