Who is Arabella Chi?

Arabella Chi shot to fame after starring in the fifth season of Love Island in 2019.

The model is now looking to find love once more after The Sun revealed that she had signed up for the All Star spin-off series.

The season five star looked incredible in a plunging dress as she headed toward the villa.

In her VT, she said: "I've been fortunate enough to hang out in Hollywood circles but I've still not found love.

"I might of recently have come out of a relationship but I'm ready to meet the man of my dreams, so get me back in that villa."

She then shocked fans with a racy admission, as she revealed: "You get hornier as you get older."

She will now be living in the villa with a host of sexy singletons - including Chris Taylor Callum Jones, Toby Aromolaran, Luis Morrison, Mitch Taylor, and Anton Danyluk.

As of January 2024, the blonde beauty boasts a staggering one million followers on Instagram - where she shares stunning selfies and describes herself as an ambassador for the fashion brand Fashion Nova.

Who has Arabella Chi dated?

In January 2024, The Sun exclusively revealed that the Love Island star had been dumped by footballer Ruben Dias.

The model was left heartbroken when the Manchester City star made the decision to split following a New Year break.

The couple had been dating since September, with Arabella flying back and forth from Ibiza and Manchester to be with the Portuguese defender.

She met Dias through mutual friends in September 2023 and they quietly dated for weeks under the radar, before eagle-eyed fans spotted them sharing similar posts of the Eiffel Tower in November.

A source said at the time: “They went to Paris for their first romantic mini-break, where he wined and dined her at all the best restaurants. He also showered her with gifts.

"Rúben and Arabella are trying to keep their relationship under wraps because it's early days. But they had the best time together in Paris and seem to be really falling for each other."

Speaking exclusively to The Sun on Sunday, Arabella, said: “Last year was probably my unluckiest when it came to finding the one. I’ve been so unlucky in love.

“I’ve dated people I thought at the time were the one, which was a mistake I’ve since learnt from.”

Arabella added: “What I’ve learnt from dating last year is that you think you know someone but you don’t really know them at all.

“I dated people that perhaps, looking back, weren’t best suited to me.”

Prior to her romance with the sports star, Arabella was linked to millionaire nightclub owner Richie Akiva and was invited to spend time aboard Leonardo DiCaprio’s party yacht.

The star also revealed she has a secret ex among the All Star cast — Toby Aromolaran.

She said: “Toby and I have a bit of history so I’m keen to explore. We hooked up in the summer. There is a little bit of unfinished business.

“Obviously it’s going to be difficult to live with an ex, but I don’t feel there is any bad blood between us.

What does Arabella Chi do?

As mentioned above, Arabella is a model and fashion ambassador.

According to snaps shared to her highlights reel on the social media platform Instagram, Arabella has worked with a number of brands including Fashion Nova, Gym King, and BoohooMan.
