Love Island star Liam Reardon has moved on swiftly from his high-profile split with fellow Islander Millie Court, reportedly finding romance with a 21-year-old law student named Lara Grace. The news comes just as his ex-partner prepares to re-enter the famous villa for the highly anticipated Love Island: All Stars series, which kicks off next week.
A New Chapter for the Personal Trainer
According to reports, the personal trainer and the brunette student from South Wales have grown close after a string of dates over the Christmas period. The pair were recently spotted looking cosy at Caldicot Football Club, where they were said to be "inseparable all evening, laughing, chatting and clearly comfortable in each other’s company."
It appears Liam has already made a positive impression on Lara's family. Sources indicate that her mother was present during one of their festive outings, where the couple enjoyed drinks with friends. The romance is believed to have started approximately two months ago, and the pair now follow each other on Instagram, further fuelling dating rumours.
Millie's All Stars Mission: Finding 'The One'
Meanwhile, Liam's ex, Millie Court, with whom he won the 2021 series of Love Island, is gearing up for a return to television. The pair dated on and off after their victory but ultimately parted ways in September last year. Insiders suggested their long-distance relationship proved too "difficult" to maintain.
In interviews ahead of the All Stars launch, Millie, who turns 30 this year, hinted at her readiness to settle down. "I am on the hunt to find my husband and someone who I can have kids with because I don't want another relationship that doesn't work out," she stated. "I want to find the one."
Reflecting on her past experience in the villa, where Liam famously strayed during the Casa Amor twist, Millie admitted she has matured. "I won't take as sh** this time," she said, before adding, "who knows? You know when you really like someone, sometimes they make a mistake... hopefully I won't take any s**t."
Lessons Learned and New Approaches
Millie also revealed she is willing to step outside her usual dating preferences to find lasting love. Acknowledging she has a "very specific type"—often tall, brunette men with beards—she admitted this approach may not be working. "Maybe I need to switch it up a little bit," she said. "Give some other boys a try that aren't my usual type."
When questioned about the possibility of another long-distance romance with an international contestant, Millie was firm: "Only if they agree to move to London - I'm not moving!" This comment seemed to be a clear reference to the challenges she and Liam, who is from Wales, faced.
As one former couple embarks on separate journeys—Liam exploring a new relationship and Millie seeking love once more on national television—fans will be watching closely to see how both their stories unfold.
