They share plenty of cute moments on social media and are proud parents to an adorable dog.

In 2020 Tayla spent time with Nathan in the AFL hub on the Gold Coast during the pandemic.

"I was in the second hub that went over. For us it was a really grateful hub in a way because that's when Melbourne had just announced stage-four lockdown," she said on KIIS FM's 3pm Pick-Up radio show.

"A lot of us were just sitting there and realising how grateful we were to have been able to get out of Melbourne when we did and to have such a good support network through the AFL — we felt like one big family."

Tayla, who has over 528,000 Instagram followers, rose to fame on the first season of Love Island Australia. She was involved in a love triangle with Grant Crapp and Cassidy McGill, and went on to win the show with Grant, sharing $50,000 in prize money.

However, Tayla and Grant broke up two weeks after the show's finale as Tayla learned the rumours about Grant's 'secret girlfriend' were true.

Following that relationship, Tayla started dating fellow Islander Dom Thomas a few months after the show, but they announced their split in June 2019 in a since-deleted YouTube video.

Congratulations to Tayla and Nathan!
