Everything we know about Joey Essex and Grace Jackson’s relationship
According to reports, the two dated earlier this year for six weeks and the romance ended abruptly when Joey decided to halt it. Grace was left ‘hurt and confused’ by his actions and is going to the villa to look for answers. A source told MailOnline, that the two met in Dubai and Joey pursued Grace. He made every effort to wine and dine her but ended the fling just as things were getting serious between them.
While the timeline of their relationship is not known, Joey’s Instagram reveals that he was in Dubai in April this year. He made two posts about his Dubai vacation - one on April 18 and one on April 28. Amidst this, the source revealed that Grace was ‘less than impressed’ with the way things ended. They added:
There's definitely some unfinished business between them and she isn't going to hold back in expressing how she feels in the villa.
Despite pursuing her, Joey ended up dumping Grace, which left her feeling very confused. She's drop-dead gorgeous, and Joey is bound to regret the way he treated her, not to mention the pressure it's going to put on his new romance with Samantha.
