Ferne McCann has opened up about her relationship with fiancé Lorri Haines, revealing that the couple sleep in separate beds and have no plans to tie the knot any time soon.
The 33-year-old The Only Way Is Essex star and the 32-year-old entrepreneur, who share six-month-old daughter Finty, began dating in 2021 and got engaged seven months later in July 2022.
Ferne has admitted the couple's relationship has changed since the birth of their baby girl on Sunday, who joins Ferne's other daughter, six, from her previous relationship with acid attack criminal Arthur Collins.
In conversation with OK! She explained in the magazine that they now sleep in separate bedrooms to manage Finty's irregular sleep routine.
The reality star admitted the arrangement meant her sex life had taken a hit, but insisted having their own beds was “honestly perfect”.

Ferne confessed: “I honestly love it.” There are times when I feel very needy and think: “You don't love me anymore, I need you in bed.”
“But I like it a lot better and I don’t know when we’ll sleep in the same bed again!”
“The last few nights we've been in bed watching Beef on Netflix and having really nice conversations and then he goes to bed. It's honestly perfect.'
Speaking about the impact on her chances of intimacy, she admitted: “I'll be honest with you, it doesn't happen very often at the moment.”
“When we first met we had sex five times a week, sometimes twice a day. That's not it at all.'
She continued: “I think with the baby we focus on different things. “We find the time when we need it. We both work from home during the day…'
Ferne also revealed that the couple was in no rush to tie the knot, saying she believed they would opt for a long engagement instead.
She said: “I'm looking at my vision board right now and there's not a single wedding veil in sight.” Maybe I need to put something on there so we get married someday.

“I just feel like we're going to be engaged for a very long time. We are committed to each other; “I don’t feel like we need to get married now.”
Lorri proposed to Ferne 18 months ago when the romantic scenes aired on her ITVBe show Ferne McCann: First Time Mum.
He knelt on a raised wooden platform on an idyllic beach in France, surrounded by flowers, after asking Ferne's Grandpa Frank for permission.
Ferne previously said she wanted an “intimate” wedding surrounded by her children, but her plans have changed since welcoming Finty.
Last month she admitted to Web that she and Lorri had not started planning for the big day and even suggested they eloped to Las Vegas instead.
She explained: “We're just enjoying the engagement and the baby.” We haven't really started planning yet.
“You never know what's going to happen.” It could be that I get pregnant again or we elope and get married in Las Vegas. It's just life.'
