A LOVE Island star has officially 'soft launched' her brand new boyfriend with a matching Instagram post. Nicole Samuel, 25, has found herself a new romance - three months on from splitting with Welsh hunk Ciaran Davies. The TV star fell for Ciaran on last summer's edition of Love Island and left their followers devastated when it was confirmed they had gone their separate ways. But just a few months later, Nicole seems to have found someone new to make her happy. The Sun can reveal she is in the throes of a new romance with rugby hunk, Dylan Williams. Both Nicole and Dylan shared an identical Instagram story as they enjoyed a drive in the same car. Whilst Dylan did not caption his snap, Nicole told her followers that she was making a trip "for work". A source told The Sun of Nicole and Dylan's budding romance: “She’s been dating Dylan Williams, a rugby player from her hometown, for a few weeks now. "Things are going really well and he’s supportive of her career.” Dylan, aged 25, plays rugby for Bargoed Rugby Club in South Wales and lives near Nicole. Eagle-eyed fans of Nicole have already been quick to pick up on her new romance. Commenting about her new relationship on Reddit, one said: "Nicole starting to casually soft launch her new beau." As another added: "Jeez another rugby lad." That comment appeared to be in reference to Nicole's Love Island ex Ciaran who also famously played rugby. Nicole also dated Merthyr RFC captain Paddy McBride during the Covid lockdown three years ago. Nicole and Ciaran called it quits after a six-month romance in December of last year. Once they had left the villa, Nicole and Ciaran tried to prove they were the real deal by moving in together straight away. Nicole even spoke about tying the knot and starting a family with her new boyfriend. She said: “If I didn’t think we were going to get married and have babies one day, we wouldn’t be together, so I’d say that’s definitely on the cards in the future. Ci would be an amazing dad.”
