Chloe Meadows is reportedly dating builder Taylor Barnett.
The 24-year-old ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star has reportedly struck up a relationship with the hunky builder, who is a close friend of Myles Barnett, the boyfriend of Chloe’s best friend Courtney Green.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Chloe is really happy with Taylor. She’s watched best pal Courtney date Myles so it’s lovely for her to be getting to know someone now too.
"Courtney and Chloe love that their boyfriends are close – with them even sharing the same surname. Chloe’s started to take Taylor with her to press events and they’ve been hanging out together as a group too."
The reported new couple were first spotted together earlier this month when Chloe took him to the Jog On To Cancer event in Kensington, where they were seen locking lips.
It’s unlikely Chloe will ever share her romance on screen though, as she previously said her "insecurity issues" are too severe to let her boyfriend appear on television with her.
She said: "My insecurity issues are so bad anyway. I’d crumble if a boyfriend started to get attention from being on television."
Meanwhile, Chloe admitted first went on the reality TV show because she wanted to get her ex-boyfriend back, but was left disheartened when pictures of her on the beach emerged online and shattered her chances.
She explained at the time: "I used to cry when I saw photos of me on the beach. I went on the show to try and get my ex back and when I saw those photos I thought, ‘He’ll never want me back now.’ Those pictures will haunt me forever. I want to lose a stone and a half. My perfect thing would be for someone to say that I look too thin."
