Adam and Laura went public with their romance in October 2023, after the sports presenter ‘accidentally’ posted a slew of later-deleted loved-up snaps.

Earlier this month, Adam wished his girlfriend a happy birthday with a gushing message and a sweet album of snaps.

The Love Island star took to his social media to share an array of adorable black and white photographs to celebrate Laura turning 37.

Laura, who has played a key part in ITV’s coverage of Euro 2024, looked happier than ever as she beamed into the camera.

Adam, who starred on Love Island in 2018 and 2022, also appeared on Celebs Go Dating last year, but he met Laura through cheekily sliding into her DMs.

The reality TV lothario proved the couple’s relationship has blossomed ever since as he dubbed Laura a ‘rockstar’ with a cute post on her birthday.

The reality star opened up about how the pair got to know each during an appearance on a an episode of the Getting Lippy Gossip Show in December.

He said: ‘I’d followed her on Instagram because I’d seen a Lionesses game or something like that and then I DMd her because she put like a funny meme on her story.

‘I will hold my hands up, yes I acknowledge that even though she’s had my life about this a lot of times.’

That same month, Adam told OnlyAccounts.com: ‘I’m protective, whether it’s Laura, or my family, my friends. I want to get married. I want to have kids as well. I’ve always thought, what type of person will I be? How can I protect my kids?

‘Obviously I’ve never had a kid, but I don’t think I’ll be plastering it all over [social media]. I want them to have a fair fight and a chance not to be judged straight away.

‘As long as my really close circle knows exactly who I am, I don’t care. I think you have to take everything with a pinch of salt.’

Adam added that he is not concerned about the eight age gap between himself and Laura, saying: ‘We are not necessarily the average everyday couple.

Since going public, the couple have not shied away from giving an insight into their romance, with both posting snaps of each other on Instagram. 

The couple went on a lavish holiday to Mexico in March, after they went skiing in the French Alps with a group of friends in February. 

Adam shared a slew of smitten snap with his girlfriend from their romantic trip to Tulum, Mexico.

The Love Island star and the sports presenter looked utterly besotted with each other in the sun-soaked shots.

Captioning the string of shots, he wrote: ‘a story from tulum…’
