As well as being known for his cheeky charm, handsome good looks, and vibrant personality, TOWIE star Joey Essex has also been known to have his way with the ladies.
Following his steamy kiss with Love Island star Maura Higgins last year, many have been speculating whether Joey has turned his sights to his Dancing on Ice partner Vanessa Bauer.
An insider recently told The Sun: “They’ve certainly got close very quickly but maybe it’s no surprise – Vanessa is stunning and Joey has always been a charmer.

“As soon as he was paired up with her those who know him reckoned he’d fancy her like mad, and he’s clearly not wasting any time making a move.”
But as things appear to be heating up on the ice, Daily Star has taken a look back at Joey’s previous romances.

Joey first dated his co-star Sam Faiers when they both starred together in ITV’s hit reality show, The Only Way Is Essex.
The couple’s romance first ignited in 2010 and they both documented their blossoming relationship while on the show.
A year later the couple decided to part ways but ended up reuniting again in 2012, with Joey even asking for Sam’s hand in marriage in the same year.
But after another year together, the couple called it quits.
Sam is now in a relationship with her long-term partner Paul Knightley with whom she shares three children with.
Amber Turner
Before blonde bombshell Amber Turner even became a TOWIE cast member, she was was papped leaving a nightclub holding Joey’s hand in 2012.
This took place during Joey and Sam’s relationship when they were very much off, and years before Amber started dating Dan Edgar, who is Joey’s former friend.
During an episode of TOWIE, when Sam found out that Joey was with Amber, she was clearly engulfed with rage.
Speaking to sister Billie, she said at the time: “I’ve woken up this morning to find out Joey went home last night with another girl. Everyone saw it. He was with her all night.
“He went home with her, he walked out the club holding her hand, they got a cab, just two of them, and went home.”

Joey met American television personality Stephanie Pratt while filming Celebs Go Dating in 2016.
But although the pair were tasked with finding romance with ordinary people on the show, they ended up falling head over heels for each other.
At first things did seem promising between the pair but it quickly became clear that they wasn’t going to last as they ended up parting ways one month later.
A few months later Joey was back on Celebs Go Dating.

Joey was also linked to Love Island star Ellie Brown back in 2018.
In October 2018, Ellie was snapped snogging Joey Essex following her split with Love Island co-star Charlie Brake.
A month later, Joey and Ellie allegedly confirmed their romance with a kiss on Instagram.
But although many though Joey had met his match, their relationship fizzled out a few months later.
In 2020, the former couple came face to face when they both appeared on the Celebrity version of MTV’s Ex On The Beach.

While appearing on Celebrity Ex On The Beach in 2020, Joey met model Lorena Medina.
On the outside, things appeared promising for the pair with Lorena moving into Joey’s Essex home shortly after the MTV show came to an end.
But their relationship came to a halt when Joey was pictured leaving Rita Ora’s house in the early hours of the morning following a night out with pals.
Lorena ended her relationship with Joey as a result.
Both Joey and singer Rita denied any romance with Joey later stating: “We have known each other for years. She’s a nice girl but we’re just friends.”

After splitting from Lorena, Joey moved on to model Brenda Santos three months later.
The couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance, with Brenda confessing that they had sex at least once every day.
Sharing details on their romance, Brenda previously said: “We would have sex every day. Sometimes we would do it many times a day, depending on the mood.
“He was giving and generous in bed. Joey said he loved my body, especially my ‘bum-bum’ as you say in Brazil.”
Brenda moved in to Joey’s Essex home and met his family and close friends but after rowing during lockdown, the couple decided to go their separate ways.

Last year Joey caused an internet meltdown when he was snapped sharing an intimate kiss with former Love Island stat Maura Higgins.
As they both attended the Pride of Britain Awards in October 2022 things got hot and steamy when it was rumoured that the pair left together.
Finally breaking his silence on what took place, earlier this month, Joey said: “I don’t know! I can’t even remember.’
“I mean all I remember is her tongue being down my throat to be honest!” He added.
