Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson smooches beau Casey Johnson in Paris after confirming romance
MARNIE Simpson and new boyfriend Casey Johnson have taken their romance to the City of Love, treating themselves to a day out in Paris.
The Geordie Shore star and her Union J singer man locked lips next to the Eiffel Tower for a sweet photo posted to Instagram on Wednesday.
Clad in matching denim jackets, the smitten new couple shared an intimate moment while Paris' most famous landmark loomed behind them.
Casey, 22, tenderly cupped Marnie's face as the 25-year-old reality star closed her eyes and leaned in for a kiss.
Their romance received the seal of approval from fans as well, with nearly 100,000 people liking Marnie's snap in just 12 hours.
One wrote: "I feel like you're going to be really happy and good things are ahead of you."
Another said: "This a pretty cool combination and couple. Would have never guessed this."
A third added: "So, so, so cute. I'm very happy for both of you."
Marnie, who previously dated her Geordie Shore co-star Aaron Chalmers and Towie's Lewis Bloor, met pop star Casey while filming new MTV dating show Single AF.
The Sun Online exclusively revealed in June that Marnie and Casey had been growing close.
Casey told us: “I fancy Marnie! She's hot.
“We're spending tomorrow together for the single AF Facebook Live and in it we find out who we're getting paired with when we fly out. I hope I get Marnie!
“She's up for the craic, I hate girls that are too heavy - I just want someone I can have a laugh with!
“I think Marnie is so fit. I know she fancies me!
“We've been talking a bit - when we found out we've been doing the show we started texting and now we're texting a bit.
“But we haven't done anything because we wanted to save it. We've been talking quite a lot.
“I'm trying everything I can to pull her! Trust me, I've got this!”
An insider exclusively told The Sun Online: “MTV are not happy.
“They signed them as singletons looking for love and going on dates around, but they’re only interested in each other and not taking the show seriously.
“Worse still, they are doing nothing to hide their feelings and have been posting loved-up videos and pictures on social media.
“It’s like they’ve just been given a free couple's holiday!”
They endured a brief rocky patch when Marnie found out Casey had been getting cosy with another woman from Single AF and even blocked him on social media.
Marnie said at the time: “I’ve seen some videos of Casey and it’s changed my opinion on him a little bit. Actually, it’s changed my opinion on him completely…

"Obviously I’ve blocked Casey.
“It’s kind of just because I feel like, when I’m with him he’s lovely, but when I’m away from he’s not, and he turns into… just like the rest of them.”
However, they soon patched things up after a "heart to heart" chat and have emerged looking more smitten than ever.
Casey explained in July: "I’ve just had a heart to heart with Marnie, she said it would take a while to regain trust but we’re on a good level, she feels the same but we’re just going to carry on going on dates and see how it goes."
And it clearly went well as Marnie revealed last week she's "never felt so happy", gushing on Twitter: "I finally found him."
