LOVE Island star Ella Thomas has confirmed she’s found love with Charlton Athletic footballer Lloyd Jones.
After weeks of rumours linking the model to the 29-year-old defender, Ella finally shared her first Instagram post with the footballer today.

Lloyd was the one to make it Instagram official first, posting a sweet photo of Ella proudly supporting him as he accepted his club’s Player of the Season award over the weekend.
On Monday she returned the favour by sharing loved-up photos of the couple on a night out together.
Fans were quick to flood the comments congratulating the couple.
But not long Lloyd’s post, Ella’s ex Tyrique Hyde appeared to respond in classic cryptic style.
The Love Island star took to his own Instagram Stories, sharing a throwback photo of himself during a confessional on the show.
In the shot, he’s seen smiling – but the subtitle underneath reads: “Nah, I’m very sad, trust me.”
The timing didn’t go unnoticed by fans, with many interpreting it as a subtle dig or reaction to Ella’s new relationship reveal.
Ella and Tyrique reached the final of Love Island 2023 and placed third, but confirmed their breakup last year.
