She called for a "Free Palestine" as she said in the caption: "The Palestinians have taught me so much, most importantly to honour human connection, make love your motivator and to keep refreshing it. So after almost a year break…this was one way of pressing the refresh button. " it wasn't Venice…that was fully booked. It was Cable Street in Shadwell where I was born and where my heart belongs.

Ronnie and Laila had an on-off romance for years, with the two first meeting in 2012 and getting engaged a year later. Ronnie even became stepdad to Laila's daughter, Inez, from her marriage to Nasir Khan. However, they put any idea of marriage on the "back burner" as Laila said they were "enjoying their time" and there was "no rush". Their relationship soon struggled in 2022 and their split up. Laila, known for Holby City, wrote at the time: "After nearly ten years of love and memories, Ronnie & I have parted ways." It wasn't long before they worked things out, with Ronnie insisting he was "happier than ever". He said: "It's good. She's great. I love her. She's great company and I love being around her. She's very supportive. I have to behave myself. I know when to go, 'Alright, you're in charge'. But she's also really good at going, 'Listen, you've got a busy life, you've got a lot to do, just get on with it'." In 2024, their relationship hit another rocky patch as Ronnie moved out of their £2million home in Essex, with the couple listing the house up for sale. "They've tried so hard but they just can't make it work," it was claimed at the time. And now, the couple found their way back to each other again and tied the knot.
