Former The Only Way Is Essex stars Chloe Lewis and Dan Edgar have gone public with their romance, sharing cosy holiday pictures from Marbella, Spain.
The reality television personalities revealed their relationship after keeping it under wraps for more than a year. They have spent the week posting images to Instagram while staying at the five-star El Fuerte hotel in Marbella, where room rates are around £357 per night.
In a recent post shared by Edgar, both stars showed off their toned figures in swimwear during a joint mirror selfie. Edgar also shared a photo originally posted by Lewis, showing him resting on her thigh while lounging beside the swimming pool.
Edgar captioned his post: 'Few days away'.
The couple went Instagram official on Friday night when Lewis shared insights from their Spanish trip.
Social media holiday posts
Among the photos posted by Lewis was a trio of snaps showing Edgar planting a kiss on her cheek during a romantic dinner date. Another image showed Lewis posing in a red gingham bikini in the sun.
Lewis also posted a photo of a shirtless Edgar adjusting a parasol, labelling him the 'umbrella man' as he moved the shade.
In another photo, Lewis wore a white bustier with jeans while posing alongside Edgar.
First public appearance in Bournemouth
Although Lewis and Edgar kept quiet about their romance for over a year, venue employees spotted them together last month in Dorset.
Staff at the Tonic Terrace rooftop venue inside the Hilton Bournemouth hotel photographed the couple during a Saturday night visit. The establishment shared the images on the Tonic Terrace Instagram page.
The venue captioned the upload: 'Amazing to have @chloelewis91 & @danedgar pop in and see us on Saturday night. Hope you enjoyed your cocktails and come back and see us soon!'
Wedding romance in Mallorca
Lewis, 35, and Edgar, 36, have known each other for years through TOWIE and the wider Essex social scene.
They found love last June at the second wedding of fellow TOWIE cast members Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet in Mallorca, Spain. Mallorca is the largest island in Spain's Balearic Islands archipelago.
Despite falling in love at the ceremony, the pair remained tight-lipped about their relationship for more than 12 months, merely alluding to their union before publishing photos from Marbella.
Past relationships and TOWIE history
Both television personalities have long histories on The Only Way Is Essex, the British reality series set in Essex, England. Lewis appeared on the show between 2015 and 2019, while Edgar recently marked 11 years as a cast member.
Lewis originally joined the series alongside her childhood sweetheart Jake Hall, following their on and off relationship on screen. Hall died in May at the age of 35 after falling through a glass door on holiday in Mallorca. Lewis has since been open about her heartache over losing him in such a harrowing fashion.
Lewis is also the mother of six-year-old son Beau, whom she shares with her former partner Danny Fisher.
Edgar has been involved in several high-profile relationships on the show. He previously dated his teenage sweetheart Kate Wright, who later married former England football player Rio Ferdinand and is now known as Kate Ferdinand.
Edgar later dated co-star Amber Turner, who cheated on her boyfriend Jamie Reed to be with him. After splitting from Turner, Edgar dated TOWIE cast member Ella Rae Wise before beginning his romance with Lewis.
