"The way I'm so happy Mimii is going on a date and I'm loving how all the girls giving her a [pep] talking bigging up her confidence," one wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another echoed the sentiment: "So happy Mimii needed this the most."
As the girls sat down to meet Reuben and Josh over some candlelit tapas, semi-professional footballer and model Josh made a beeline for Mimii.
