Ella Rae Wise is not married, according to reports. The TOWIE star, 26, sparked speculation she had secretly tied the knot to businessman Ricky Lawrence, 34, after going Instagram official\u00a0<\/p>\n
In May, Ella candidly shared that she is finding it\u00a0'really hard' to come to grips with Dan moving on with Chloe.<\/p>\n
Ella dumped Dan, 36, in January 2025 \u2013 a week before she entered the Big Brother house \u2013 citing trust issues.<\/p>\n
And appearing on brand new TOWIE podcast You All right Hun? Ella opened up on navigating being around her ex-boyfriend, while also giving her verdict on his relationship with Chloe.<\/p>\n
Speaking to host\u00a0Denise Van Outen, she said it was a 'really hard situation', compounded by the fact that she and Dan were 'naturally drawn to each other' in group situations.<\/p>\n
The TV personality said she felt 'very emotional' about the situation and was struggling to decide what to do moving forward, confessing she wished she had a 'crystal ball' so she knew which path to take.<\/p>\n
\u00a0'It was a lot,' Ella explained. 'And I think it's really hard to be around your ex anyway. Like, we all know that I don't have loads of friends on TOWIE don't we? So, he to me, he's a bit of my familiarity.<\/p>\n
