OHMYGOSSIP — James Lock has “never stopped talking” to Megan Barton Hanson.
The 35-year-old ‘TOWIE’ alum enjoyed a two-month romance with ‘Love Island’ star Megan – who he met on ‘Ex on the Beach’ – last year, and despite fuelling speculation they had reunited when he gifted Megan a boob-shaped cake for her 28th birthday in a hotel room last week.
James – who is known as Lockie – has insisted the pair were “always friends” and he refuses to put a label on their relationship now.
He said: “We never stopped talking since the show. There was a lot of articles saying it was a whirlwind romance, but then they said we’d split up. We’ve always been friends and we’ve always been in contact.
“We clicked very quickly, there was a connection. I don’t connect to everyone, but I’m very sociable, the life and soul of the party – which is pretty much the same with Megan.”
Lockie – who has also been linked to fellow reality stars Yazmin Oukhellou and Ellie Mackenzie – admitted their whirlwind romance came as a surprise to them both, but their new relationship developed after a festive trip to New York.
Speaking to Mirror Online, he added: “It came out of nowhere, we didn’t think we were going to get on as much as we did. It developed when we got home. There was lots of speculation about what we were, but we’re happy not labelling it We’ve just said we’re friends. It’s not like we’re trying to hide anything. Out of respect for each other we don’t need to label it and we don’t see why we have to.”
James – who is set to star as a Hollywood A-lister in upcoming gangster movie ‘The London Game’ – also insisted he took Megan out for her birthday so she could “let her hair down”.
He said: “She wanted to let her hair down [for her birthday]. We’re both strong believers in everything in moderation. We’re not the party girl and guy we used to be – we’re not out every week.”
