He has now revealed he is official with Shakira in a buried TikTok commentCredit: instagram/@harrycooksley8Now, Harry has revealed that he and Shakira are officially a couple after spending time together outside of the villa.
The 30-year-old confirmed the news in a buried TikTok comment in which he responded to one of his fans’ comments.
Underneath a video of the pair, one fan questioned Harry as they said: “Are y’all official?”
Another fan was quick to point out that Harry branded Shakira his “lady” to imply they had cemented their relationship.
Appearing to clear up the confusion, Harry replied to the original comment to simply say: “Correct.”
It is the first time either Harry or Shakira have acknowledged the current status of their romance since leaving the villa.
Now they are out of the Love Island villa, the duo are getting used to life together away from the cameras and Harry, 30, could not be happier.
“Obviously it’s new for both of us. It’s a new experience for both of us and I’m so grateful to be doing it with her,” he told The Sun in an exclusive chat.
Speaking to us at the Freely launch event, he added: “I think both of us lean on each other so much.”
Harry added: “I want to just spend time with her family off camera and actually get to know them and for them to get to know me.
“I’m quite a good guy. I like to think so, as long as she’s happy.”
But it’s the one-on-one time with Shakira that Harry relishes the most, especially in the bedroom.
Harry exclaimed: “The only time we really relax is in bed, and I don’t mean that in any sort of way!”
