Dan Edgar’s romantic life unfolding solely on television has an almost poetic quality. The Essex native has never truly enjoyed the luxury of a private heartbreak since joining The Only Way Is Essex in 2015. Every argument, confession, and uncomfortable encounter at a hotel bar has taken place in front of cameras, and for some reason, viewers continue to watch.
Who is Dan Edgar currently seeing? Chloe Lewis, a former cast member of TOWIE who appeared on the show from 2015 to 2019, is the short answer. The longer response includes at least one public infidelity confession, almost ten years of on-screen relationships, and a trip to Vietnam that caused far more controversy than anyone anticipated.
At Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet’s second wedding in Majorca, Dan and Chloe are said to have reconnected. Two people from the same world, the same show, and the same social circle reuniting at someone else’s celebration is the kind of reunion that sounds almost staged. Dan has expressed his admiration for Chloe, calling her “very understanding” and “grown up as a person.” He added that because she has been on TOWIE herself, she is familiar with the workings of the show’s machinery, including the cameras, the drama, and the forced closeness to your former partners. Contrary to popular belief, that kind of context is important.
Prior to Chloe, the majority of TOWIE viewers recall his intermittent six-year relationship with Amber Turner. Even from a distance, it was difficult to watch. They started dating while Amber was still seeing someone else, went through years of breakups and reconciliations, and finally came to an abrupt end when Dan confessed to being unfaithful over the phone while filming. “I got drunk and slept with someone,” he told her bluntly. No fancy justification, no spin. Regardless of your opinion of what he did, the directness with which he expressed it was almost disarming.
Then came the trip to Vietnam, which made matters even more difficult. Dan went there with his ex-girlfriend Ella, and he has been open about how awkward it was to deal with that circumstance while simultaneously starting a new relationship with Chloe. Regarding Ella, he stated, “It came to light that she was still quite upset about a lot of stuff.” “It’s not nice, I don’t like seeing anyone upset.” Ella, on the other hand, talked about their relationship’s lingering intensity and how it never quite had a satisfying conclusion. Although it’s still unclear how that chapter ends, Dan appears determined to go on.
It’s important to keep in mind that Kate Wright, who is currently Kate Ferdinand, existed before Amber and Ella. Her entry into TOWIE was essentially a result of Dan’s breakup with her. She has publicly stated that he unexpectedly ended their relationship after showing up at her house one evening. Then there was the long-running rumor about Chloe Lewis that predates their current relationship by years, a brief overlap with Jess Wright, and a flirtation with Lauren Pope.
It seems like Dan Edgar has truly matured over the course of ten years. In contrast to his previous interviews, he speaks about his current relationship with a quiet steadiness. Only the upcoming series will tell whether that holds true on camera, in a Majorca hotel bar, or somewhere else. He claims to be in a good place for the time being, which is significant considering his past.
