After rumors Ella moved on with Charlton Athletic footballer Lloyd Jones, 29, the pair finally went Instagram official over the weekend.
Lloyd was the one to reveal their relationship on Insta when he posted a photo of Ella supporting him as he accepted his club's Player of the Season award.
Not long after Lloyd's post, Tyrique took to his own Instagram to share a throwback photo of him in the confessional on Love Island.
The photo showed him smiling, but the subtitle of his audio read: "Nah, I'm very sad, trust me."

Tyrique posted that photo to his Instagram stories and promoted a livestream he was hosting and party he was attending later that night.
He and Ella first split in November 2023 and called time on their relationship permanently in February 2024 – then their cordial break-up later turned sour, they've been swerving each other at events ever since.
Even though Ella has appeared to move on, Tyrique recently had to shut down rumors he was dating R&B artist Nellie Charles.
He set tongues wagging after he was spotted with the stunning singer on holiday in Morrocco.

Fans first noticed the group had been joined by Nellie, 22 when she posted a Snapchat video which featured a close-up of a tattooed arm and watch, matching a video Tyrique posted on his own Snapchat.

He captioned the post: “Rah I can’t have friends no more ? WTHELLY GANG ……”
Nellie, who has amassed over 30,000 followers on Instagram is a R&B singer who has brought out several tracks last year.
Her latest single, Rain On Me, gained her the coveted Tune Of The Week on BBC 1Xtra.
