Who is Josh Riley? 

Josh, 26, is director of luxury fashion company Yelir World.

Megan, who found fame on MTV series Ex On The Beach in 2015 and has appeared in a string of other reality TV shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Towie, has been trying to keep her relationship with Josh out of the public eye.

Megan is yet to keep fans up to speed with her dating life by posting any loved-up snaps of her and Josh on Instagram. 

He is also keen to stay out of the limelight and has been blurring his face on social media.

Are Josh and Megan dating?

The Sun Online exclusively reported in August 2020 that Josh had won over Megan with a number of swanky meals out, including at celebrity hotspot Hakkasan in London.

A source confirmed that the pair are now dating and planning a future together: “Megan and Josh have been dating for a few months. They’re totally smitten, it’s very sweet to see.

“The pair of them are taking it slow but they have been talking about the future.

“Megan seems so settled and happy now, Josh has made her feel really happy. She has met his family and they think she’s absolutely lovely.

"She spent some time in Leeds with Josh and his relations when they were celebrating his sister’s birthday. They have welcomed Megan with open arms.”

However by the end of 2020 the relationship was reportedly on the rocks with the singer even joining exclusive dating app, Raya, to find love.

The pair rekindled their romance in February 2021 and are still going strong.

Megan has been unlucky in love after failing to find romance on the 2019 series of Celebs Go Dating.

During the show, she had a pretty awkward reunion with her ex Pete Wicks, who had also signed up to appear on the reality series. 

Megan and Pete had a rollercoaster relationship which came to an explosive head on The Only Way Is Essex in 2017.
