Model Josh has given his pals his blessing and said Summer, 22, and Roman, 19, make a good couple.
Reality star Roman, 19, admitted that he and Casa Amor girl Summer had grown close since her exit from the ITV2 dating show and were spotted looking cost at WE ARE FSTVL last week.
Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report about his new romance, Roman revealed he’d ended things with Liberty Poole – who he’d been dating – to pursue things with Summer
“Liberty was the last girl that I was with. But now there’s someone else, it’s a Love Island star.”

Roman then called pal Josh Le Grove over and asked if it was alright for him to reveal her name to The Celeb Report.
When asked who Roman’s mystery lady was, Josh said: “Summer [Botwe]….she left me, I found these two in bed.
“But I’ll let him off as he’s my boy.”
The Essex favourite – who yesterday told The Celeb Report he was also dating Love Island’s Liberty Poole – said he’s been enjoying getting to know Summer and are seeing where things go.
When asked if there was any bad blood between the pair, Roman replied: “No, we’re family.”
Roman added: “Summer’s hot! She’s really beautiful. We’re just seeing what happens, it’s early days.”
Josh may have missed his chance with Summer, but admitted that Roman and Summer “suit” each other.
When asked if Josh feels his chance with Summer has sailed, he cheekily replied: “No I didn’t have my chance.
“He [Roman] took her. No, but them two suit.”
It comes after Roman’s co-stars teased he’s “in love” after he admitted to dating an Islander.
Speaking at the Towie series 30 premiere, Roman said: “Yes there’s someone I like. We’re seeing what happens,” and co-star and Towie newbie Junaid said: “It’s a Love Island star.”
Last year Roman admitted that he wanted fellow co-star Chloe Brockett to “stick it on” him.
The Essex lad previously dated Ella Rae Wise before ending their brief romance and was stuck in a “love triangle” with Demi Sims and James ‘Diags’ Bennewith
Meanwhile, Summer may have been unlucky in love in the villa following failed romances with Dami Hope and Josh.
Summer confirmed that her split from Josh after a row with Coco Lodge on the Reunion show.
The bombshell pair got to know each other after their Casa Amor appearances, but were voted off the show shortly after.
Despite confirming to host Laura Whitmore on Love Island’s Aftersun that they were getting to know each other just weeks ago – Summer has now revealed the pair have SPLIT.
After addressed the fallout from the Reunion show last night – which saw Summer in a furious row with Coco, 27 – she added that she had chosen “not to pursue” things with Josh.
“Thank you for all the love and support after the reunion show, it never goes unnoticed,” she wrote in an Instagram stories post.
“To clarify the ‘argument’ between me and Coco was heavily edited and there was more to it than met the eye.
“I would also like to clarify that me and Josh are only friends and haven’t decided to pursue things romantically at this time.”
Summer concluded the post by thanking her fans for “supporting her and her journey”, atop of a photo of her at a festival last weekend.
It comes after Summer and former co-star Coco had a furious bust-up live on air during tense reunion scenes last night.
It wasn’t long until a row escalated between them following comments Coco had previously made about Josh.
OH WOW
I'm a catfish, men say I’m ugly without makeup but are amazed when I'm dolled up
All hell broke loose as Summer, who was thought to be dating Josh, was left furious after Coco claimed she “could have slept with” her man during her time on the show.
Summer’s rep declined to comment when contacted by The Celeb Report.
