Millie Court 'hints' at engagement with Liam Reardon after the pair reunited last year

Love Island winner Millie Court has been dropping hints about engagement to her Welsh boyfriend Liam Reardon. The couple, who briefly split, reunited and are now happier than ever and Millie confessed that she's been subtly sharing her ring preferences with 24 year old Liam, hoping he'll propose soon.

Speaking to MailOnline, Millie, 27, said: "He's the one in control of proposing and I've given a little hint and showed him a ring that I would like." She added: "Not that it means he'll do it any time soon but I thought better he knows now so when he does decide to, in the future, he knows what ring I like."

Millie also revealed that Liam is aware of her proposal expectations, including the location. Despite living together before their split, they have since maintained a long-distance relationship between Essex and Wales, which Millie believes has strengthened their bond.

She explained: "It's amazing, he lives in Wales now and I'm in Essex so we're doing long distance but it's actually working really well." She continued: "We managed to get that time together where I'll come down to Wales for a week, he'll come down to Essex, and it's almost like it's working because the time that we have apart we can crack on with work and solely focus on that."

They were recently spotted holidaying in Wales where they took a campervan to Pembrokeshire, more on that, here.

Millie admitted that the time apart allows them to concentrate on their work and when they're together, they can focus on nurturing their relationship. She confessed that they struggled with the pressures of fame after Love Island but now believes their relationship is stronger than ever.

She expressed: "I think coming off the show as many couples, it is a struggle to sort of navigate this new life as well as navigating a relationship. So having that time apart meant that we could really get to terms with this new lifestyle and everything sort of happening with that."

"We always wanted to be together, we knew that, it was just timing that was hard and it's much better this time around." Want less ads? Download WalesOnline’s Premium app on Apple or Android.
