They decided to give it another go after they reunited on Celebs Ex On The Beach, which they filmed earlier this year.
The first episode of the reality show left fans gobsmacked on Tuesday night as Finn Tapp’s ex Paige Turley arrived to bring chaos to the villa.
The serie will show them confronting the breakdown of their relationship after they dated for three years and lived together.
Insiders have now revealed Finn and Paige worked through their problems, and the show has brought them back together again.

A source told The Sun: “Finn was overheard chatting to pals at the Celebrity Ex On The Beach launch earlier this week, where he told them he and Paige are giving things another go.
“The truth is, neither of them properly moved on after their split and they realised while filming the MTV reality show that there were still a lot of feelings there.
“After filming wrapped, they had a big heart to heart and decided they still wanted to be together.
“They’re taking it slowly, as they obviously had issues before splitting, but they’re committed to making it work this time.”

The Sun has approached reps for Finn and Paige for comment.
Love Island fans fell in love with Finn and Paige and the pair went on to win the first-ever Love Island series filmed in South Africa.
Finn previously told The Sun about his plans to marry Paige.
He said: "Paige is deffo the one, I’m deffo going to be the one to pop the question.
"I've got a plan, I’m not putting a timescale on it, it’s when the time is right, but within the next two years or so.
"Paige and I have always spoken about an abroad wedding, we might do two weddings, a close intermediate wedding with family and then a big party here with everyone."
Back in August 2021, he made a grand gesture to profess his love by getting Paige's name inked above a previous butterfly tattoo on his arm.
Fans were in utter shock when the pair decided to go their separate ways three years after the show finished.
They were later accused of splitting up simply to win a spot on Ex On The Beach.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Paige hit back at the rumours.
She said: “I think they’re delusional.

"So it was more difficult that we anticipated. When we were on the beach it was fine but when we got into the villa, there was that realisation that we were going to be living together again.
"I’m glad I got the closure and that’s why I’m pretty thankful for the show because we would never had really been in each other’s company or have that time to be in each other’s company.”
