Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu set the record straight after rumours swirled about her dating life when she was spotted with Married At First Sight star Georges Berthonneau.
Earlier this month, Turkish actress Ekin-Su and reality star Georges were pictured looking friendly as they headed to the gym together. They arrived at the gym in Essex in Georges' car but headed inside to exercise separately. Ekin-Su last dated fellow Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti while Georges was with Peggy Rose.
However, both their relationships went through extreme ups and downs before they became single. In a new interview, Ekin-Su shut down the claims that she and Georges are together but added that she signed up to celebrity dating application, Raya, in hopes of finding someone new.
"No I'm not dating, I'm single," the reality star insisted. "That's not true [not dating Georges], it's how it works - you get seen with someone. I know him [Georges] but we're not dating." Ekin-Su went on to claim she's currently not having any luck with men on dating websites.

A representative for Georges slammed the rumours, telling the Mirror: "I was surprised by the article myself as Georges is happily dating someone not in the public eye. He and Ekin are just friends who happened to go to the same gym that day."
Ekin-Su famously entered the spotlight in 2022 as a contestant on the eighth season of ITV's Love Island where she won the show with then-boyfriend Davide. But the pair dramatically broke up months after leaving the villa amid accusations of cheating - and Ekin-Su had a rocky time during her time on Celebrity Big Brother at the beginning of the year.
Georges, meanwhile, found fame himself on E4's chaotic dating series Married At First Sight in 2023 where he tied-the-knot with Peggy Rose Lawrence, 32. The two explosively split amid cheating rumours earlier this year. His MAFS wife Peggy slammed Georges and claimed 'fame went to his head'.
“Boys like attention, especially when boys haven't had the attention before. I feel they get a bit big headed,” she told The Sun. “He even said to me on the show that he's been sexually desired by all his ex-girlfriends. Who says that?”
