Now he has gotten close to Brianna Balram, who starred in the Netflix reality series, Too Hot to Handle.
The pair posed closely in a post on Instagram where they revealed they had cooked together during Brianna's recent visit to London.
Brianna and Lochan smiled happily to the camera while standing in a kitchen, and as she held up a plate of food in the two photos.
"2 worlds 🇬🇧🇺🇸 [Great Britain and United States] + 2 foodies and 1 recipe. Can you guess what me and your fav chef @lochan_nowacki cooked up while I was in London?' Brianna captioned the post.
Fans of the pair rushed to the comments to speculate whether the pair were a couple or not.
"If they are dating he'll be the luckiest guy coz bree is one of the most beautiful girls ever," wrote one person.
"They look good together," commented another.
But another person was not convinced, writing: "Where in the caption does it suggest they are dating? It just looks to me they partnered up to make a dish... or am I missing something?"
Lochan himself described their meetup as a "collab" on his Instagram Stories and told fans to "keep ya eyes peeled" for the upcoming video of their cooking session.
The former Love Islander is a self-confessed foodie who regularly posts mouth-watering recipes and rates London's restaurants on his social media platforms.
Love Island's Whitney reveals bizarre way she reacted after Lochan dumped her - and 'real reason' he gave her
Just weeks after his split form Whitney, Lochan was spotted cozying up to influencer Nguyen Yeats-Brown, after meeting at a celebrity tennis tournament.
In the short video, they appeared to have great chemistry and at one point Nguyen put her head on the former Islander's shoulder.
Shortly after their breakup, Whitney revealed she felt "bamboozled" by her split from Lochan.
Speaking on her podcast, she said: "Some people don't wanna compromise."
"Because my last relationship...." Whitney then trailed off before announcing she was "getting into it".
She then explained that when he would "come over" he told her how much she had "changed".
Whitney recalled how he said: "I've seen how much you've changed, and you're becoming like the woman that we always spoke about you becoming.
"And I'm just not willing to do that."
Josh, Whitney's friend who stood in for podcast co-host Lizzy, then said how he feels that some men "don't like seeing the other partner grow".
Whitney then admitted: "I was bamboozled. This is the person that you told me you wanted."
She then spoke to listeners and said how she hadn't "changed for a man" but instead changed how she spoke to him.

Victoria and David Beckham narrowly avoid awkward run-in with Brooklyn in St Tropez
The feud surrounding David and Victoria Beckham and their son, Brooklyn, is still rumbling on - despite Sir Elton John's best efforts at playing peacekeeper Victoria and David Beckham narrowly avoided a red-faced run-in with their firstborn, Brooklyn, and his wife in St Tropez last week. The Beckhams were in the south of France for their annual jaunt onboard a luxury £16 million yacht with their kids Romeo and Harper after Brooklyn and Nicola were seen larking about on the heiress' father's boat nearby. Brooklyn and Nicola were spotted just 48 hours before the Beckhams arrived in St Tropez having a slap-up lunch with the wannabe chef's godfather, Sir Elton John, who reportedly tried to play peacekeeper between Brooklyn and his parents. However, despite the Sorry star's best efforts, the feud appears to be rumbling on after Brooklyn and Nicola swerved David's 50th birthday celebrations in May amid reports the 26-year-old was angry with his family for the way they had allegedly treated Nicola. Brooklyn's siblings Harper and Romeo were the first to be spotted in St Tropez, with smiles a mile wide onboard a speedboat. It comes after the former photographer unfollowed both Romeo and younger brother Cruz on Instagram, with one source claiming there was "no way back" for the famous family. Also seen lapping up the luxury at sea were Victoria and David as they treated Harper and Romeo to dinner onboard the family's yacht while Cruz and girlfriend Jackie Apostle reportedly soaked up the sun elsewhere in the star-studded town. It comes as Brooklyn and Nicola shared snaps of themselves, appearing to be in the UK, while the Beckhams were in France. The husband and wife are said to have jetted into Blighty for the weekend and seemed to be enjoying downtime in the English countryside. It comes after Victoria and David's close friend, Elton, reportedly tried his best to oil the wheels of peace between the Beckhams as Brooklyn's concerned godfather. The music legend recently hosted the self-confessed 'nutter in the kitchen' and his wife for lunch in Cannes alongside his husband, David Furnish. The gathering took place at the upscale La Guerite beach club, where the group reportedly addressed the strained family dynamics. 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,' a source told The Sun in relation to the star's peace-keeping attempts, adding: 'He's utterly neutral in this row.' And while the Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) star may have previously leaned into celebrity rivalries, such as his past feud with Madonna, those close to him say he's now more interested in maintaining peace. The source continued: 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn, but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy."

Scottish police drama with 'palpable tension' races up Netflix top 10 chart
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Netflix viewers are rushing to watch a 'suspenseful' Scottish crime drama that's drawn comparisons to Broadchurch. Initially airing on ITV in 2017, The Loch was created by Stephen Brady and follows DS Annie Redford (Breaking Bad's Laura Fraser), an officer with the Scottish Highland Police as she investigates the murder of piano teacher Niall Swift after he is found dead at the bottom of a cliff in the picturesque village of Lochnafoy, Loch Fyne, Inveraray.

Last week the six-part series (which was titled Loch Ness in the US) was added to Netflix, with viewers quickly taking the chance to binge it. The Loch is now the second most-watched TV show in the UK on the platform. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

'This tartan-clad Broadchurch shows a lot of promise, not least in the way it plays on people's Loch Ness fascinations,' the Express wrote in its review. 'The peel-the-onion format here is familiar by now, but Stephen Brady's script and a group of fine performances keep it intriguing, nonetheless. A fine diversion for summer evenings,' The New York Times shared. Untamed Loch Ness Amy Bradley is Missing Critical: Between Life and Death Angi: Fake Life, True Crime The Sandman WWE Smack Down My Melody and Kuromi Squid Game The Jury 'You'll probably figure out the ending to Loch Ness well before the fog lifts, but my hunch is you're here mainly for the luscious scenery,' The Washington Post said. 'It does a good job of slowly building up a portrait of a troubled but brilliant man with little regard for authority but great regard for the law itself. Definitely worth a look,' The Post NZ added. Meanwhile user amwilson-50395 said the show 'feels fresh and has you second guessing at every clue uncovered'. 'The desire to uncover the truth is overwhelming. Suspenseful moments intertwined in a mix of both fast- and slow-moving plot points, if you are into British crime dramas, this needs to be added to your must watch list,' they wrote on IMDB. Others said it was 'compelling', 'gripping' and 'superb'. At the time of The Loch's premiere, its star Laura said the following when asked to describe it. 'It's all very dark and creepy but also has moments that are quite tongue-in-cheek. It reminds me a wee bit of the classic movie An American Werewolf in London. It has that that vibe and there's a lot of animal symbolism – wolves, crows, mutilated sheep and, of course, plenty of mentions of the Loch Ness monster.' More Trending When initially teasing details of the show, ITV shared: 'What secrets lie beneath the surface? In this stunningly set crime drama, some monsters are no myth. For Detective Annie Redford, the hunt is on to catch a killer. 'A murder in a small Scottish town sends the community into shock, and local detective Annie Redford is thrust into her first murder case.' The Loch also stars Don Gilet as psychological profiler Blake Albrighton, John Sessions as Annie's boss DCI Frank Smilie, Gray O'Brien as Alan Redford, Annie's husband, and William Ash as local tourist operator Leighton Thomas.
