A former TOWIE star who also appeared on The X Factor is reportedly dating a world-famous sports star after she was seen cheering him on in the crowd and boarding the star’s team bus.
Jasmin Walia, 29, joined the cast of The Only Way is Essex in 2010, quitting the programme to focus on music in 2015. In 2014, she auditioned for the X-Factor, but was left in tears after being rejected by all four judges.
Now, it’s been reported she’s dating world famous Indian cricketer, Hardik Pandya. Jasmin was seen cheering him on in the crowd as she watched his team, Mumbai Indians, play against Chennai Super Kings. After the match, she was spotted boarding the team bus, as a source revealed the two have been “spending a lot of time together”.
“Jasmin has been spending a lot of time with Hardik recently,” a source told The Sun. “She has been supporting Mumbai Indians as much as she can. She was there on Sunday to watch him play against the Chennai Super Kings and she has been seen boarding the team bus a number of times.”
The Mirror has contacted Jasmin’s representatives for comment.
Hardik, 31, captains the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League and occasionally plays for Baroda. He’s considered one of the best all-rounders in the world and led his team to victory once again as Jasmin witnessed his team celebrate a nine-wicket victory this weekend.
The sports legend was previously married to Serbian model and actress Natasa Stankovic, however the pair, who share a son together, called it quits after four years of marriage in July last year.
Sharing a statement at the time, Hardik wrote: “After 4 years of being together, Natasha and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest of both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew as a family.”
“We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the centre of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness.”
Jasmin has also previously had a high profile relationship, as she dated Ex on the Beach star Ross Worswick. However, the pair called it quits in 2016 after two years together. Speaking on their breakup to OK! Jasmin said: “I don’t even know the real reason myself, it was just one of them where it just came to an end. We just both wanted different things and went our separate ways.
“I think I got so involved in working on my music that I didn’t have as much as time I would like to in a relationship. It’s a bit selfish but I’ve kind of always wanted my career first.”
