Love Island stars Tommy Murphy and Tina Rad have finally addressed whether or not they’re dating.<\/p>\n

Love Island<\/a>‘s Tommy Murphy<\/a> and Tina Rad<\/a> were sent packing at the same time and dumped from the villa together, but not as a couple. <\/p>\n

However, just before they left they’d started flirting so fans have been dying to know if they’re giving their connection a go on the outside, especially since they knew each other before the show.<\/p>\n

Tina had a tough time in the villa after coupling up with Aidan Murphy<\/a>, who very quickly revealed he was more interested in rekindling things with Yasmin Hadlow<\/a> than getting to know her. <\/p>\n

So, when it came to the infamous Heart Rate Challenge<\/a>, Tina made her move on Tommy to let him know she was interested.<\/p>\n

Are Love Island’s Tommy and Tina dating?<\/p>\n

After they left the villa, Tommy and Tina both came in to chat with Capital and we asked them if there was a romance blossoming between them.<\/p>\n

Tommy shared: “Yeah, me and Tina, there’s not much going on there. We had a kiss in the heart rate challenge, didn’t we? She took me in for a bit of ‘dungeon time’, as the boys were calling it, [which is] when you got taken out onto the grass in front of the seats. <\/p>\n

“I think if we were in [the villa] a little bit [longer], maybe we would have had a few chats, but I think on the outside things are a bit of a whirlwind for the moment.”<\/p>\n

As the pair have been spotted around London together he added: “I’m more of a babysitter to Tina at the moment, I think, kind of trailing around London.”<\/p>\n

Love Island’s Tommy and Tina address dating speculation<\/p>\n

Separately, Tina told us: “I probably won’t date Tommy after this. I think he’s more like my babysitter, but I like how he does everything for us.”<\/p>\n

So there you have it, not dating but they seem to be great friends!<\/p>\n
