The couple are said to be inseperable already
Model Ellie, 27, dated Stephen back in 2019, but split up after he confessed to cheating on her.

An insider said: “Jacques and Ellie are really good match and love spending time together.

“They recently went on a romantic trip together, which made them even more smitten than before and they are now thinking about moving in together.

“Jacques gets on really well with her sister Daisey as well and they often all hang out together.”

Ellie has huge following on social media alongside her sister and the pair are known as the O Dolls.

Jacques rose to fame when he appeared on Love Island in 2022 and struggled with the breakdown of his relationship with Paige on the show.

He made the decision to quit and later admitted he struggled to “be myself” while struggling with his mental health and ADHD.

During his time he was accused of ‘gaslighting’ Paige and islander Remi Lambert later claimed he felt bullied by Jacques.

He apologised for his actions at the time, saying:  “Life has been very overwhelming recently and admittedly I’ve probably not handled myself in the best possible way.

“I take full responsibility for my actions. I’m aware I’m far from perfect and that there is work that needs to be done on myself.”

Meanwhile Ellie dated Bear on and off for a while but failed to make it work as he struggled to remain faithful.

He admitted at the time:  “I cheated on Ellie with somebody else and she found out about it. We were going through a hard time, always arguing. It wasn’t nice at the end.”

He added: “I don’t want no one else. I want to have kids with her and no one else. I just need to prove myself.”

Stephen spent most of last year in prison for sharing a sex tape of his Towie ex Georgia Harrison.

The Sun has contacted Jacques rep for comment.
