Love Island star goes public with his EastEnders actress girlfriend
A former Love Island star has confirmed his romance with an EastEnders actress months after the duo were spotted on the red carpet together A former Love Island star has made their new relationship with an EastEnders actress public as they confirm their pairing. Michael Griffiths, 33, and Rukku Nahar, 29, finally made it Instagram official this week after months of speculation. The duo were spotted on the red carpet together last year but their latest outing has confirmed their status as a couple. Taking to his Instagram Stories, Michael reshared a post where he is giving the actress a peck on the cheek as she smiles. The image is paired with Tems' tune, Love Me JeJe. It came as the pair enjoyed the boxing on Saturday night as Oleksandr Usyk brutally dispatched of Daniel Dubois to remain undisputed heavyweight champion. Michael shared a number of images on his grid of the pair enjoying the occasion at Wembley Stadium. In the first, the former Islander is seen grabbing his partner as she beams. He also uploaded a shot of the pair of them taking their own selfies of each other in their cute coupling. And the final image in his reel showed the duo posing for a picture together as they wrapped their arms around each other's waists. Michael captioned the post: "Her first official fight night. And what a night it was, here's to many more adventures." The followers were quick to react to the official relationship announcement. Among them was former Love Island pal Liam Reardon, who simply put two flame emojis. Fellow islander Josh Denzel also replied with only emojis, typing to clapping hand emojis. And MAFS star Laura Jay Vaughan also said: "I love you both so much." She added a love heart emoji and a character with love hearts for eyes. The duo first appeared to be a couple at last year's UK premiere for The Venom: The Last Dance. At the time, they looked happy together and posed for shots as a pair, but stopped short of confirming their relationship status. At the time, neither Rukku nor Michael had admitted to dating, and they hadn't featured on each other's social media accounts either. However, Michael was spotted leaving flirtatious comments under some of Rukku's Instagram posts in the build-up. While Michael made a name for himself on series five of the ITV2 dating show, Rukku is best known for playing the role of Habiba Ahmed in Walford. Michael was locked in TV drama in his series as he was involved in one of the show's most unforgettable love triangles. At the time he abruptly dumped Amber Gill for Joanna Chimonides. His relationship with Joanna only lasted a few months post-villa before ultimately ending.

Fact Check: Are BTS' V and BLACKPINK's Jennie dating? Fans debunk Lovestagram clues, couple items, and more
Fresh dating rumors between BLACKPINK's Jennie and BTS' V (Kim Taehyung) have resurfaced online following his military discharge. However, devoted fans from both fandoms were quick to shut them down. Though a handful of new 'clues' gained traction on social media platforms, netizens swiftly debunked the claims. They point out inconsistencies, coincidences, and past clarifications. Love Me Tete The renewed speculation began when V shared a celebratory Instagram post after completing his military service. With the post, he wrote the caption 'Love me TeTe' while including the song Love Me JeJe by singer Tems. Almost immediately, some internet users began to interpret the caption as a cryptic reference to Jennie. JeJe symbolises Jennie and TeTe refers to Taehyung. Although the theory sounded compelling to some, long-time fans of BTS quickly came to V's defense. They explained that TeTe is a name ARMY has used affectionately for years, and there was nothing unusual about V referencing himself in a caption. As for the use of Love Me JeJe, fans argued that it was more likely a coincidence or simply a musical choice rather than an intentional hint. With no concrete connection to Jennie, the idea was dismissed as over-analysis. Cake connection debunked Another point of rumors was a photo of a cake that V included in that Instagram post. He received it to mark his discharge. The cake's inscription read, 'I'm happy to be with you.' It prompted some fans to suggest that it might have been a romantic gesture, potentially from Jennie. However, ARMY members quickly squashed the theory. They recalled that V's close colleagues in the Special Duty Team had given him a similarly decorated cake during his active service period. Given the design and the timing, fans logically concluded that the discharge cake was most likely from his SDT peers rather than from a romantic partner. Matching accessories? not so fast Adding to the speculation, a few users pointed out that Jennie and V had each been seen with similar keyrings. They suggest the possibility of 'couple items.' However, this claim was also debunked by fans who discovered that the keyrings were mass-produced and extremely popular in Korea. Moreover, V had earlier disclosed that he received his keyring directly from the designer, Kim Hee June. So, it's possibly from him but in a different color this time. A recurring rumor with no confirmation This isn't the first time V and Jennie have been at the center of dating rumors. Back in 2023, the two were linked when blurry images allegedly showing them together in Paris surfaced online. Despite weeks of media speculation, both HYBE and YG Entertainment chose not to make formal statements. And the gossip eventually died down. As again speculation cools, many fans are voicing frustration over the constant recycling of unfounded dating rumors. Both ARMY and BLINKs have called out sasaeng-level behavior. They are urging others to focus on their achievements rather than spreading false narratives.
