Love Island’s Harrison, 22, and Lauren, 26, have officially closed things off in their relationship and are now “exclusive”.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK after leaving the Villa last week, the pair revealed while they are not in a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, they have closed things off.
When asked if they were closed off Harrison said: “We’ve not had the proper conversation, I feel like Lauren knows where my head is at. I left the Villa to pursue things with Lauren. I feel like we don’t really need to speak about it either. I feel like we know both where our heads are at. But for me the big thing was her meeting my family before I made anything official. That will be coming in the next week or so. I have no doubt we’ll be boyfriend and girlfriend very soon.”
The pair were then asked if they were “exclusive” but not in a “relationship”, to which Harrison replied: “Yeah, I would say I’ve only got eyes for Lauren and I hope it’s same [he gestures to Lauren]. This is the first time we’re talking about it.”
Lauren then added: “I feel like we’ve just not had to say it, like we just know and obviously we did our first post together yesterday. So I feel like that’s a big thing.”

The pair met on the current season of Love Island, when Harrison entered Casa Amor and quickly fell for Lauren.
However, back in the Villa he had been pursuing a connection with Toni. When Harrison chose to reenter the main Villa and bring Lauren with him it kicked off one of the series’ biggest love triangles.
While Harrison and Lauren were getting to know each other intimately, he was still pursuing things with Toni and made his feelings for her apparent when he suggested she should pick him at the next recoupling.
Thsi moment happened the night after Lauren and Harrison had slept together, and so when Toni picked Harrison at the recoupling it led to confusion and upset amongst the Villa. Lauren was left to recouple with Ty.

After spending a day or two together in a new couple, Toni and Harrison still weren’t sure where they stood with each other and Harrison continued to get to know Lauren.
Last week, new bombshell Angel entered the Villa and chose to recouple with Ty, this meant Lauren was single and dumped from the Villa. She then asked Harrison to leave the Villa with her but while he debated packing his bags, he didn’t go that evening.
However, the next night he told his fellow Islanders he had chosen to leave the Villa to carry on getting to know Lauren.
Since they’ve been reunited outside the Villa the pair have spent the majority of their time together and appear to be going strong.
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX
