Love Island star Zach's new nepo-baby 'girlfriend' months after Molly Marsh split

Love Island star Zachariah Noble is reportedly dating social media influencer Ava Hirons, three months after his split from Molly Marsh. Over the summer, TV personality Molly announced she had parted ways with Zach after falling for each other two years prior.

Molly and Zach met on the tenth series of the ITV2 show, which aired in 2023. They remained together after leaving the villa, but briefly separated last year before rekindling their romance months later. However, they ended things again in July, with Molly telling fans that they remain "friends".

Three months later, it has been said Zach moved on with influencer Ava - who is the daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons.

The two reportedly grew close after going on a number of romantic dates. “It’s early days, but Ava and Zach have been casually dating," an insider said.

"There was an instant spark there and they really fancy each other," they told The Sun, before claiming Zach isn't 'rushing into anything serious' as he only recently got out of a relationship.

The Mirror have reached out to Ava and Zach's reps for comment.

After Zach and Molly split up, she took to her Instagram Stories to confirm the sad news, writing: "I just want to confirm the rumours. Myself and Zac have split up and are no longer together.

"We have parted ways as friends and thank you all for your love and support of our relationship over the past 2 years."

A source told the Sun at the time that "nothing bad" had happened between them. The source said: "They just made the decision to split on a mutual basis. The pair have no bad blood between them and will continue to be friends."

The source added that the exes wanted to "cherish" the memories that they made together. They concluded: "Sometimes relationships work, and sometimes they don’t but they want to continue to be friends and cherish the couple of years they have spent together and are both grateful for Love Island bringing them into each others lives."

Molly and Zachariah were original islanders on Love Island in 2023, but the former's time was cut short when she was dumped from the villa just weeks in. She left after Kady McDermott coupled up with Zachariah upon her arrival.

A twist for Casa Amor however saw Molly return just days after her departure. She then ended up recoupling with Zachariah and the pair later reached the final. They placed fourth, with Jess Harding and Sammy Root winning instead.
