The couple first began dating in 2013 and were briefly engaged but called it quits shortly afterwards.
The couple briefly rekindled their romance in 2017 but split again before opting to give it a third try this spring.
A source told MailOnline of their rekindled love: ‘Gemma has been seeing Rami again in secret for the last six months.
‘The pair have enjoyed spending time together and getting reacquainted during date nights in London and Essex.
‘Gemma suffered a lot of stress and trauma during her relationship with Arg, which has been on and off for years – but she’s finally putting herself first and moving forward with her life.’
She has since sparked rumours she’s engaged again after being spotted with a diamond on her finger and has revealed the pair are planning for a baby.
Former flames: Gemma’s raunchy comments were no doubt a blow for her ex James Argent, who she dated on and off for eight years before splitting for good in November last year
