Love Island icon Ekin-Su Culculoglu is reportedly dating a top sports star.
It has been claimed that the 30-year-old reality TV icon has “enjoyed a string of secret romantic meet-ups” with former world number three tennis player Grigor Dimitrov, reports The Sun. MailOnline have also said that the star is keen to keep their rendezvous away from the public eye.
Ekin-Su and Grigor were reportedly introduced by mutual friends over recent months and have been jet-setting the world, with stop offs in London, Paris and a sighting in Monte Carlo. A source told MailOnline that the pair were looking “friendly” together.

“They were just casually walking together in Paris, taking pictures with fans and they were so friendly. They were getting lots of attention but it was all a bit surreal, nobody expected to see them together. They were just trying to lay low, they weren’t trying to attract attention.”
“It’s a couple you would never have expected walking the streets of Paris, but they were just hanging out, they looked good together. She was smiling and laughing and they just looked like they were having fun. Ekin-Su seemed really relaxed, it was obvious there was chemistry and you couldn’t help but notice them.”
The source said that the duo “looked really comfortable in each other’s company” while on the trip. Fans will remember Ekin-Su’s fiery reality TV debut on 2022’s summer Love Island series, during which she had an on again-off again relationship with co-star Davide Sanclimenti.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing for the pair, but they eventually defied the odds and went on to win the ITV2 dating show – however, the split just a year later in June 2023. Ekin-Su went on to star in Dancing on Ice, The Wheel, The Traitors US and Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
Grigor is a Bulgarian professional tennis player, ranked “as high as world no. 3 in singles by the ATP” which makes him the highest-ranked Bulgarian player ever. He has won nine ATP singles titles to date and won Bulgarian Sportsperson of the Year in 2014 and 2017.
