A recent chat between Joey Essex and TV host Jasmine Simpkins brought out some cheeky banter that had viewers cringing and laughing in equal measure.
The former TOWIE star, 34, appeared on US station KTLA, where he confidently declared himself “husband material.”
Jasmine and the panel couldn’t resist teasing him, suggesting he should take off his clothes during the interview.
Life After Love Island
Joey shared insights about his life in Los Angeles following his breakup with Jessy Potts, 25, from Love Island.
Their split happened just seven weeks after they left the villa together, and Joey seemed upbeat about his new chapter.
“I’m so excited to be here; you all look beautiful, by the way,” he said, radiating charm.
The playful teasing continued as Jasmine revealed she had helped him pick his outfit, including a cozy mohair cardigan.
The panel joked about possibly telling him to take it off later, which made Joey giggle awkwardly.
Career Aspirations
As the conversation shifted towards his reality TV journey, Joey opened up about his hectic life in the UK, where he often gets recognized.
“I enjoy the life that I live,” he said, sharing his plans to find a flat in LA since managing his house in Essex can be a lot of work.
“I clean my own house, my own clothes, my own dishes. I’m perfect husband material, I must say,” he added, playfully asserting his domestic skills.
Jessy’s Reflection on Their Time Together
Meanwhile, Jessy recently addressed their breakup during an Instagram Q&A.
When asked if participating in Love Island was worth it, she responded enthusiastically, saying, “It was the best thing I’ve ever done, without a doubt.”
She mentioned the incredible opportunities that followed her experience and how much fun she had with Joey, despite their relationship not lasting after the show.
The pair confirmed their breakup over the summer, with Joey expressing hope to remain friends.
Moving On from the Past
At the launch of a new tanning range, Joey spoke about their split, stating simply, “Unfortunately, we just parted ways. I wish her all the best.”
When questioned about joining the second season of Love Island All Stars, he quickly dismissed the idea, saying, “That’s definitely not in the pipeline right now.”
In a candid moment with The Sun, Joey shared, “Unfortunately, we have decided to call an end to the relationship, but I hope we can continue to be friends. I truly wish Jessy the very best with whatever she does in the future.”
Jessy echoed these sentiments, appreciating her time with Joey but acknowledging that they tried to make things work without success.
The Struggles of Post-Villa Life
After falling in love during Love Island, the couple faced challenges in their relationship, particularly with their busy schedules.
Rumors suggested they were barely communicating, with a source indicating that their hectic lifestyles were causing friction.
Jessy noted that they were struggling to find time for each other and that their situation was complicated by Joey resuming his celebrity life while she was navigating her newfound fame.
Despite the hurdles, Jessy remained optimistic, stating, “We’re both making the effort, and everyone’s speculating that we’ve broken up. We’re working it out.”
As both move forward, it’s clear they are focusing on their individual journeys while reflecting on their time together.
