Love Island’s Shakira Khan has revealed why her and Harry Cooksley haven’t made their relationship official.
Despite leaving the villa together in August, the pair aren’t looking to be boyfriend and girlfriend any time soon.
Shakira, 22, admitted on Capital XTRA Breakfast that she normally waits three months before making things official as she looked back on her past romances.
Radio host Shayna Marie asked: ‘Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?’
Shakira confirmed: ‘No! I don’t think that’s a weird thing either. In my past relationships I probably dated them for three months.
‘And it’s a label we are still very much figuring out our new life, adjusting to stuff and spending time with each other.

‘I don’t feel like there’s any pressure on it. I think when your relationship is in the public eye everyone is like “why aren’t you married?”
Harry, 30, recently opened up about their relationship in an interview on ITV’s Lorraine.
Gushing over Shakira, Harry told host Christine Lampard: ‘Speaking to Shakira one-on-one, it was natural. I’d buried a lot of emotions for her and it all came out. I’m so glad I stuck my neck out.’
He also clarified his relationship status before heading in the villa.
‘I couldn’t have been more single going into the villa, but I was dating and seeing people. I only told four people I was going in,’ he said.
However, when Christine pushed on whether they had made things official, Harry cautiously replied: ‘I don’t think exclusive is such a big thing on the outside world.’
‘When we rekindled I only had eyes for Shakira and that hasn’t changed.’
In an honest admission, Shakira said: ‘Having to watch him with Helena every day was so tough.

‘It’s a label we are still very much figuring out our new life, adjusting to stuff and spending time with each other. I don’t feel like there’s any pressure on it’, she added
‘In the outside world you have a bit of distance but they’re in the bed next to me. I was buzzing for Casa Amor when it happened.’
Harry, at the time, said he has not properly met the her mother, aside from their tense run-in on the show, when she famously refused to hug him.
Shakira said of the moment: ‘The meet with my mum went better than we thought it might! She’s on holiday at the minute on a cruise.
‘She’s warming to him, she wants to meet him, sooner rather than later.’
