Montana Brown enjoys dinner on the beach with beau Mark O’Connor after their romance was revealed

Montana Brown looked happier than ever as she enjoyed dinner with her new ex-rugby player beau Mark O’Connor after their secret romance was revealed earlier this week.

The Love Island star, 25, shared a laugh with the hunky real estate executive as they headed into the Sea Shed Restaurant on the sand during her never-ending sunny getaway.

Montana’s relationship with Mark was revealed earlier this week when the pair were seen strolling on the beach together, with pals telling MailOnline he’s ‘very wild on a night out’ and ‘a lot of fun to be with.’

Montana covered up her bikini in an oversized white shirt dress as she headed into the restaurant with Mark.

The star opted for a wide-brimmed straw hat as she laughed with Mark on their way into the dinner.

Montana donned a face mask as she arrived at the restaurant for the romantic sunset meal with Mark after their romance was revealed.

Last week Montana was pictured strolling along the beach with her new man and MailOnline revealed the identity of her beau on Wednesday..

Mark is a real estate executive, having attended Cardiff University and Henly Business School, according to a pal.

The source said: ‘He played rugby for Chiswick and Wales 1st Teams as a prop, and has a proprietary interest in Forge Gym London. That’s likely how he met Montana.

‘He used to be out of shape and is now very much in shape. He’s a very wild bloke to go on a night out with, drinks a lot. Very good fun to be with.’

The source added: ‘His father owns a huge development/construction firm which he will inherit.’

MailOnline approached Montana’s representatives for comment.

Montana, 25, put on a cosy display with her companion as they were seen wrapping their arms around each other on the beach over the weekend.

After their stroll on the sands, the pair were seen arriving at the posh Lone Star Restaurant in St. James Parish.

Reality personality Montana has been in the Caribbean since before Christmas after jetting out to spend the festive period with her family. 

Prior to jetting to Barbados, Montana spent time in the Maldives shooting a campaign for her swimwear line, Swim Society.

Back in June, Montana revealed she was planning to meet up with her potential date for a walk as she chatted to pal Joanna Chimonides on FUBAR Radio.

Montana, who split from Elliott Reeder in January 2020 after two years together, said: ‘We have a light at the end of the tunnel okay.

‘This guy, we’re going to go on a walk, and he was like, “I’m gonna come pick you up”. He lives like quite far from me and where we’re going is not near me either.

‘He’s like, “no I’m gonna pick you up. I’m gonna swing by, pick you up. Do you have any allergies? Because I’m gonna grab some food on the way for our walk”.

‘I was like,” would you like to marry me?!”

And Montana said she doesn’t want a high profile romance as she is ‘craving normality’.

The television personality revealed: ‘He’s not famous which is actually ideal for me because I’m craving normality.

‘I just want someone who only wants me and not a million other girls… I just want to find a doctor in Sheffield that no one knows, who lives with his grandma or something, got a farm maybe, and that’s me sorted.’

When asked about the attention she’s received since being on the show three years ago, Montana explained: ‘You do get boys talking to you but they’re just so odd.

‘This boy right, I was like, “oh you know, he’s attractive, I’ll match him on whatever”. So I match with him – “do you have snap?” ‘No I don’t have snap!’ I don’t want your… What?! I was like, “are you taking the p**s”?!’

Elliott and Montana dated for two years and went Instagram official back in February 2018, just eight weeks into their relationship.
