In the wake of her season 7 appearance on Love Island Australia<\/a>, Gabby McCarthy has grown a substantial fanbase on social media with photos highlighting her natural voluptuousness and Gold Coast lifestyle. Now, the 22-year-old is attracting attention for a different reason: coupling up with fellow reality star Demi Sims.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, McCarthy posted a TikTok video<\/a> of her and The Only Way Is Essex star cuddling up and exchanging pecks over a dimly lit meal. The caption on the video, which has nearly 40,000 likes, is \u201cMy overseas bae\u201d \u2014 while text overlapping the new couple reads, \u201cLife ever since I took \u2018I don\u2019t need no man\u2019 literally.\u201d<\/p>\n While McCarthy is a resident of Queensland, Sims, a 29-year-old boxer and OnlyFans<\/a> creator, resides in the UK county that made her famous. But it seems the new international, reality-famous couple<\/a> had an extended stint together, with McCarthy posting photos<\/a> of the two enjoying the beach a few days later on Instagram. <\/p>\n Sims, who also starred in the series House of Sims, has previously been linked to reality stars from Made in Chelsea, Too Hot to Handle, Love Island, and Ex on the Beach. Meanwhile, McCarthy is relatively new to the public eye and therefore mostly associated with her onscreen flirtations with Jotham Russell and Dylan Towolawi on Love Island Australia, where she lasted 22 days.<\/p>\n Fans are celebrating McCarthy\u2019s news, commenting congratulatory messages on a follow-up TikTok video<\/a> where the influencer added sapphic implications to her viral \u201cclout\u201d speech on the show. Referring to the line where McCarthy says she doesn\u2019t need a man for clout, many users wrote that the busty brunette was, indeed, right all along \u2014 adding memes of amused celebrities<\/a> to punctuate the point. <\/p>\n McCarthy follows in a beloved line of reality stars who have flaunted lesbian relationships after initially dating men on TV \u2014 of course, our favorite being the endlessly quotable<\/a> Gabby Windey, who married comedian Robby Hoffman<\/a> after rising to fame on The Bachelor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
