Love Island’s Laura Anderson shares a kiss with beau Paul Knops

At the end of last month, they walked away from Love Island is second place, after losing out on the top prize to Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham.

And Laura Anderson, 29, and her beau Paul Knops, 31, looked besotted as they stepped out together ahead of attending the Love Island Live event at the ExCeL London exhibition centre on the Royal Victoria Dock.

As the lovebirds made their way to the east London venue, they posed for snapshots on the streets of the English capital, before locking lips for a tender kiss.

The couple stepped out in style for the event, with Laura displaying her svelte frame in a white crop top with a high-waisted spearmint green skirt and a denim jacket.

Standing tall in a pair of strappy heels, the Scottish stunner enhanced her blonde tresses with long, wavy extensions, while she highlighted her natural beauty with a rich palette of makeup that included bubblegum pink lipstick.

She cosied up to her model beau, who showed off his muscular frame in a fitted white T-shirt, which he teamed with black jeans and matching Chelsea boots.

At the event, the Laura and Paul were reunited with their co-stars Wes Nelson and Megan-Barton Hanson, Josh Denzel and Kazimir Crossley, Dr. Alex George, Adam Collard, Samira Mighty and Georgia Steel, as well as host Caroline Flack.  

The couple’s outing came after Laura revealed that she’d embarked on an apartment hunt around London, so she can be closer to Paul and launch her media career.

On Thursday, the former air hostess took to Instagram to pose a selfie, which she captioned: ‘Getting ready in this amazing hotel for my never ending apartment viewings today. Wish me luck.’

Scotland native Laura previously expressed an interest in relocating to London, having found romance in the Love Island villa.

Laura’s foray around London’s homes comes after she and Paul had a busy day on Wednesday, appearing on Radio 1 and at ITV.

She also teased that she and Paul will appear on This Morning next Monday, where she’ll finally get to meet Eamonn Holmes – who, on Love Island, she said she had a crush on.

Laura and her hunky beau had been hit with speculation they had broken up after keeping out of the limelight and away from couple selfies since Sunday’s Love Island Reunion Show.

But, on the way to Radio 1, the couple were seen sharing a steamy smooch.

After fans commented on their lack of appearances together this week, Laura and Paul put on a defiant display.

The smitten pair could barely keep their hands off one another as they leaned in for a steamy smooch and held hands. 

Laura also shared a new Instagram video of the couple on their way out as she gushed over her ‘stud muffin’ boyfriend. 

Paul also uploaded clips of the couple’s day together, laughing at Laura as they seemed to have an escalator mishap before larking around as they headed for lunch before their radio interview.

While their co-stars have been doing the rounds on TV and radio, Laura and Paul have largely remained out of the spotlight since Sunday night’s Love Island Reunion episode.

Both stars are currently in London but before Wednesday hadn’t uploaded any photos together for days.

Instead model Paul shared a sizzling selfie as he basked in the heatwave on Tuesday.

Three days earlier he posted a shirtless shot, which prompted Laura to post a heart eyed emoji in the comments.

Laura meanwhile has been quiet on her own Instagram account, taking to Stories on Tuesday to give followers a tour of her plush London hotel room, before sharing a boomerang of herself in a hotel robe with the caption: ‘Much needed chill time.’ 

Fans were quick to comment under Paul’s most recent selfie, questioning if the two have split.

One asked: ‘Why haven’t we seen you and Laura together since Sunday, missed you guys’ 

Another devastated follower agreed, simply writing: ‘You don’t post anything with Laura :(‘

‘I think it’s sooo odd that you and Laura post nothing together and don’t seem to spend anytime together,’ another wrote.

‘People voted you and supported you to come second in the show!! and you don’t seem to do any tv or radios or interviews together like everyone else does,’ another wrote. 

‘I don’t believe it, they’re never together and they don’t like each other’s social media’s. Trust me they’ve either split up already or had an argument,’ determined another.

But other fans were quick to jump to the two’s defence, pointing out: ‘Just cause they are more private with their relationship and laid back does not mean they are not together anymore lol.’  

Laura, 29, and Paul, 32, finished runner’s up in the final Love Island, behind winners Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, despite being one of the newest couples on the matchmaking show. 

Unlucky in love Laura was dumped by both Wes Nelson and Jack Fowler before late arrival Paul stole her heart.
