Love Island's Jess Shears and Dom Lever announce engagement

It's only been three months!

Published 18th Sep 2017

They made it through tough rumours at the start of their relationship, and now it seems Love Island stars Jess Shears and Dom Lever are unbreakable as they've shocked fans by announcing that they are engaged!

Despite only meeting each other for the first time back in July, the couple seem very loved up and Dom has asked his girl to marry him.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Jess revealed Dom got down on one knee and popped the question to her earlier in the month. She said, "It happened the night before the TV Choice Awards. We were staying in a lovely apartment in London."

By Jess' description, it seems Dom went all out for his proposal. She added, "Dom filled it with flowers and had got us a bottle of champagne ... I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when Dom got down on one knee, he said afterwards that he had never seen me smile like that!"

Despite Dom's romantic proposal, the reality star admitted he wanted to pop the question abroad, but he was so desperate to get engaged they had no time for a holiday due to work commitments.

Dom said, "If I'd waited I don't know when it would have had time to do it because we're so busy at the moment. It felt like the right time."

As if the big engagement wasn't enough, the couple certainly aren't hanging around as over the weekend they announced they have moved in together.

Sharing a photo of the pair standing outside of their new house, Dom wrote, 'So yesterday me and @jessica_rose_uk moved in together and words cannot describe how happy this girl makes me. Clearly neither of us were ready for this photo 🏡👫❤️'.

Congratulations to the couple! 💍

Jess and Dom were rocked by cheating rumours early on in the relationship. After a whirlwind romance in the Love Island villa, Jess was evicted from the show with her fellow co-star 'Muggy Mike'.

After Jess and Mike were spotted 'getting cosy' together, Dom was left heartbroken and met up with the pair when he left the show. After clearing up the rumours, Jess and Dom have seemed to be loved up ever since!

See what the other Love Island stars have been up to since leaving the villa:

Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies

The current Love Island champions dodged a number of issues during their time on the show but now they are out in the real world, the pair seem totally loved up!


Attending a number of appearances together, including a pool party in Mallorca last weekend, Kem and Amber often share snaps of each other to their Instagram pages.


The pair wasted no time in meeting each other's family and friends when they left the villa, Kem shared a cute snap of Amber and his mum with the caption, 'The two most important women in my life'.

Despite the 2017 winners looking loved up, Kem was forced to defend his romance last weekend when his 'friends' said he would break Amber's heart.

One of Kem's friends reportedly said, "It all looks like the modern day fairy tale from the outside, but there is already trouble in paradise. And knowing Kem, it will only be a matter of time before it all goes wrong."


They look loved up enough to us!

Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood

Ahh Chris and Olivia, they were on and off more than the garden light bulbs during their time in the villa, but it did look like their romance was going well on the outside world.


Attending appearances together and even taking their fake baby Cash Hughes on nights out with them, the pair shared snaps declaring their love for each other.

That was until new rumours this week that the pair had split after Olivia was caught 'getting close' with another man!


According to reports Chris had dumped Olivia after she joined Blackburn Rovers footballer Bradley Deck at a nightclub on Sunday night.


A source close to Chris reportedly told a national newspaper, "Chris has told his close friends it's all over. He's furious and heartbroken to see her all over someone else."

Chris and Olivia have both now slammed the rumours, with Chris supporting his girl at a recent event.

The pair then delighted their fans once more when Camilla shared a snap of them travelling to a refugee camp, something that is very close to Camilla's heart.


Captioning the shot with, 'We are on our way! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us so far - we will keep you all posted on how we get on.'

Alex Beattie and Montana Brown

From the moment they left the villa, Alex and Montana were faced with numerous rumours that they'd not continued their romance outside of the show.


Unlike the other couples, the pair haven't been spotted attending events together and have kept loved up snaps of each other to a complete minimum in the last week.

And as Montana prepares to become clothing brand Pretty Little Things' brand new ambassador, Alex has signed a modelling deal with Boohoo Men, leaving the pair with very little time on their hands for a romance.


Montana has now confirmed her split with Alex after admitting it has been 'hard' on the outside world. Despite the split, the pair have remained friends.
