There have since been rumours that Ella has moved on with footballer Lloyd Jones, 29, who currently plays for Charlton Athletic,
In her Snapchat, which was caught by fans on Reddit, Ella fuelled the rumours after she was seen making a matcha green juice for a man she kept out of shot.
But in a new move, Lloyd has shared a photo on Instagram with Ella - and fans are loving the confirmation of their relationship.
Lloyd was seen collecting an award for Player of the Season, at his club Charlton Athletic.
He looked proud as he was pictured holding the cup, as well as going to collect it on the pitch.
Then in a final photo at the end of the carousel of images, Lloyd posted a snap standing next to Love Island’s Ella, who could be seen in a grey tracksuit top and bottoms.
Ella wore her long locks down and opted for some dark shades for the day out.
And fans were quick to take to the comments, with one person writing: “yes we love a hard launchhhh.”
A second penned: “Ella ❤️❤️ Take care of the queen, don't let her go.”

And a third echoed: “I am here for @ellathomas_ she is the ultimate hot girl.”
The reality beauty was first linked to Lloyd when spotted liking his most recent post on Instagram with the pair following each other on the app.
And Lloyd returned the favour, and liked a string of Ella's sexy snaps.
Lloyd has also had a taste of the reality dating scene, having appeared on US show Love Undercover on Peacock last year.
It follows an elite group of international football stars who come to the United States on a secret quest for true love with their pick of 18 women, all of whom have no idea they were famous.
Prior to their split, Ella and Tyrique appeared on the 2023 series of Love Island, before coming in third place.
After splitting in November 2023, they called time on their relationship permanently in February 2024 – and when their cordial break-up later turned sour, they've been swerving each other at events ever since.
A source at the time close to Ty and Ella told The Sun: "They have tried really hard but just been having constant arguments.
"At the end of day they want different things and it's too hard to make it work."
Neither Ella nor her rumoured new beau have officially confirmed or denied the speculation.
