Liam Reardon has shared an update on his relationship with Millie Court, after rekindling their romance.
The couple, who won Love Island back in 2021, called it quits last summer – but recently decided to get back together.
In a new interview with The UK Mirror, Liam said: “Me and Millie, we’re doing well. We’re taking things slow and kind of keeping it between us as much as possible. And just taking it day by day – we’re enjoying it.”
The Welshman continued: “I live on my own, she lives on her own and we’re seeing each other throughout the week and it’s going nice. We’re not putting too much pressure on it.”
Revealing why they are keeping their relationship out of the public eye this time, Liam explained: “We just feel like before it was a case of me, her and everybody else in the relationship and, you know, it’s between me and Millie and that’s kind of it.”
“Like I said, baby steps, but I’m enjoying the process.”
He added: “It was partly the reason why we went our separate ways back last year, so now we want to kind of just have some sort of control.
“And some people say, ‘Oh no one even cares that much’. I’m not doing it to try and be mysterious about our relationship, it was just the fact that a lot of people – the person saying that might not be – but a lot of people are very invested and sometimes it’s nice, but it can get a bit too much sometimes.”
Liam and Millie won the 2021 series of Love Island, but their relationship hit the rocks last year and they announced their split in July.
In April, Millie confirmed she is off the market again, but she refused to name her beau.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, the 26-year-old said: “I’m not ready to tell you guys [who I’m dating] yet.”
“It’s early doors, and when you’ve experienced a whole full-blown meeting someone, relationship on TV, the whole thing, and then everything afterwards.”
Addressing her split from Liam, Millie said: “It is a lot when you have all eyes on you and everything in your relationship. Lots of judgements, lots of people sending you messages because they’ve seen the other person out.”
“It means absolutely nothing, they’re just speaking to another person. I’m told, ‘They’re cheating on you’ when they’re just having a chat. I chat to boys on a night out. I’m making friends. There’s nothing in it.”
“I struggled with that a lot because it wasn’t nice when people were involved in my personal relationship. It ruined things. It was a big part of why my last relationship ended. It’s been a while since then.”
Shortly after Millie confirmed she was seeing someone, she was spotted on holidays with Liam – confirming their romance is back on.
