Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu Secretly Dating MAFS Star Georges Berthonneau

Reality TV star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has been quietly dating Georges Berthonneau from Married at First Sight UK for several months, according to new reports from MailOnline.

The 30-year-old Love Island winner took her relationship to the next level in August 2024 when she visited Georges’ family home in the South of France. The couple enjoyed some private time away from the spotlight, helping their bond grow stronger.

How Did Ekin and Georges Meet?

Their romance began after Georges, 30, revealed on a podcast that he had a crush on Ekin-Su. After hearing the interview, Ekin reached out to him. They started dating shortly after Ekin ended her short fling with TOWIE star James Argent.

Sources say Georges has treated Ekin “like a princess,” while she tried to keep the relationship secret so she could stay eligible for the upcoming Love Island: All Stars.

A close source shared, “Georges was getting tired of being a secret. He wanted commitment. He’s been telling friends how happy he is.”

Although her team wanted to hide the romance, whispers about their connection have been going around for months.

Trouble for Love Island Plans?

Ekin-Su’s romance with Georges could affect her chances to join Love Island: All Stars, set to air in January 2026. The show only accepts single contestants, and Ekin is said to be at the top of the casting list.

She previously dated Davide Sanclimenti, her Love Island co-star, for 18 months. They officially broke up in January 2024, after rumors of Davide being unfaithful. Ekin later admitted the split left her feeling “angry, hurt, and bitter.”

During her time on Celebrity Big Brother, Ekin was accused of not being genuine. She later said she was emotionally struggling after the breakup and didn’t feel like herself on the show.

“I didn’t want to believe the cheating rumors,” she said. “But deep down, I was scared of being alone.”

Georges’ Side of the Story

Georges became popular after appearing on Married at First Sight UK, where he married Peggy Lawrence. Fans liked him for trying to make their relationship work, even though Peggy’s parents disapproved.

However, the couple broke up on Valentine’s Day, and Georges claimed he was “blindsided” by the news. He later said Peggy never paid for anything and accused her of being a “calculated manipulator.”

What’s Next?

With Ekin’s love life in the spotlight again, it’s unclear if she’ll be allowed to join the Love Island spin-off. Meanwhile, Georges seems serious about the relationship and wants to go public.

For now, fans are waiting to see if the pair will stay together or if showbiz will pull them apart again.
