Infamous lothario Adam Collard confirmed he is dating Laura Woods by sharing a loved-up snap on his Instagram this week.
The Love Island star, 27, and the football pundit, 36, sparked dating rumors in recent weeks as the couple recently returned from the Carbis Bay Estate – a luxury coastal retreat in Cornwall with a private beach.
Reality star Adam first made a name for himself when he joined Love Island in 2018 and was in a relationship with Zara McDermott, who is currently competing on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Laura appeared regularly on screens and was ITV’s main presenter for the Women’s World Cup. Now she presents the newly launched TNT Sports together with her new colleague Rio Ferdinand.
Having been linked to several celebrity stars over the years, we take a look at Adam Collard’s relationship history leading up to his recently confirmed romance.

Adam, then 22, first appeared on Love Island’s fourth season in 2018, with the tattooed hunk targeting Kendall Rae-Knight after arriving like a bombshell.
Soon after, his head was turned by the arrival of Rosie Williams, who encouraged the Geordie personal trainer to break up with Kendall.
Everything seemed to be going well for Adam and Rosie until bombshell Zara McDermott entered the villa and the couple parted ways on day 20.
Adam continued to get to know Zara until she was unexpectedly released from the villa just a few weeks after her arrival.
Shortly after Zara’s exit, Adam tried to form a bond with Casa Amor’s Darylle Sargeant before deciding to get to know Zara further outside of the competition.

Zara McDermott
Adam and Zara, 26, rekindled their romance after the show and later became boyfriend and girlfriend.
The couple dated for about eight months and seemed to take their relationship seriously, with the couple even getting matching tattoos.
Adam wore the letter ‘Z’ on his wrist while Zara had ‘AC’ engraved on her pinky finger, shortly after the Strictly star claimed she had ‘tamed’ his wild ways.
Adam and Zara moved in together in Essex, took several exotic holidays together, including to Dubai and the Bahamas, and were photographed at various glamorous events.
The couple parted ways in February 2019 when Zara announced their split on Instagram, writing at the time: “Sometimes in life you just aren’t enough for someone; No matter what you do for her or how hard you try to be.’
The split resulted in the couple unfollowing each other on Instagram, with Adam reportedly covering up the tattoo from Zara’s debut appearance just two months after the split.
Hours after the move, he settled in and celebrated with Lisa Rinna’s model daughter, Delilah Hamlin.
Zara and Adam’s relationship was reportedly on the rocks before they split after he had a wild night out with Instagram model Brittany Archer.
On the road to success: The couple had been together for around eight months and seemed to be taking their relationship seriously. The couple moved in together in Essex (pictured in July 2018).
Sarah Godfrey
In the summer of 2019, Adam met 30-year-old Irish fitness influencer Sarah Godfrey and a relationship developed between them.
The two marked the milestone of their relationship in July 2019 with a romantic vacation in Morocco at the luxurious Mazagan Beach Resort.
The couple parted ways just a few months later, in January 2020, and Adam shared it with OK! Magazine at the time: “Nothing bad happened at all.”
“We still have common work interests and I want her to get along well in everything.”

Half-Sims
Just two months after Adam and Sarah confirmed their split, the ex-Love Island star was linked to TOWIE star Demi Sims, 27.
The couple were spotted kissing and hugging on a night out in London.
However, it is not known or reported whether the two later had a romantic relationship.

Paige Thorne
In July 2022, Adam made a shocking return to Love Island for season eight, stunning his ex Zara when he entered the villa like a bombshell once again.
During the competition, Adam developed a romance with Welsh paramedic Paige Thorne, 26.
Unlike his previous appearance in season four, Adam chose to remain linked to Paige for the duration of his time on the series.
The couple were released from the villa on day 56 after receiving the fewest votes, but the couple had already cemented their relationship and continued to date the outside world.
The two stayed together for four months and announced their split in November 2022 after Adam was accused of cheating by Paige.
Adam spoke out shortly after the split, saying at the time that he was “holding his hands up” after he was caught on video flirting with other girls on a night out with his Love Island co-star.

Lottie Moss
After signing up to Celebs Go Dating in July this year, Adam met OnlyFans model and younger half-sister of Kate Moss, Lottie Moss.
The 25-year-old model and the Love Island star have had a budding romance since they crossed paths on the E4 reality series.
Just a month later, in August, Adam told Dating Agents in an episode that he had felt a spark with Lottie that arose after it was revealed the pair had slept together.
The couple spent a night together three more times before finally going on a date for the first time since meeting on the show.
At the start of the date, the two appeared very embarrassed at a restaurant as they discussed their feelings outside of the bedroom.
Adam said: “This is the weirdest first date ever, we did everything backwards.”
Just a day after the date, Lottie sensationally dumped “immature” Adam after he decided to kiss and go out with another girl.
Adam asked to choose who he wanted to take on another date during the tense brunch between Jasmine, Autumn and Lottie.
After choosing Autumn for a date, Lottie remained calm and collected, but said she was “angry” about his choice and called him a “damn boy.”

Laura Woods
Two months after being dumped by Lottie, it seems Adam has finally entered into a serious relationship with former talkSPORT and TNT presenter Laura Woods, 36.
Adam and Laura teased their budding relationship in early September, meeting in secret, while the Love Island lothario was reportedly still in a romance with Lottie on Celebs Go Dating.
The couple enjoyed “a few hours” of intense conversation at the Black Bull pub in Trimdon, County Durham, in September, before heading off for a weekend getaway to a luxury seaside resort in St Ives in early October.
Adam finally confirmed he’s dating Laura this week by sharing a loved-up snap to his Instagram on Monday.
Not only were the couple spotted together, but they also shared pictures in the same locations on their social media accounts.
Now Adam has posted a sweet black and white picture of Laura kissing him on the cheek while he cuddles his dog.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Laura and Adam definitely dated and seemed very close.”
“Adam seemed very interested in Laura and they looked like any other cozy couple enjoying a few drinks on a night out.”
