Who is Kem Cetinay, how old is he and what does he do?

Kem was a hairdresser to some interesting celebrity clients, reportedly cutting Calum Best’s hair as well as that of the Towie lads.

The cheeky chappy prides himself on not taking himself too seriously, but admits he does fall for girls “very easily”.

Kem admitted before he went on Love Island he had “never been in love or had a serious relationship before”.

And he was never far from the headlines after making a name for himself in the villa, having been cast in a number of other reality programmes including The Weakest Link, Dancing on Ice, Channel 4’s Celebrity Hunted and Soccer Aid.

Kem and Amber's relationship is still going strong

Why did Kem Cetinay split from Amber Davies?

As reported by HOAR’s Bizarre column, Kem and Amber – who had been dating for 132 days – decided to split after a series of rows.

A source said: “They’ve been at each other’s necks for the past month.

“They’ve clashed over the smallest things.

“It’s also been very hard for them to see each other with their hectic schedules. They tried to make it work but realised they want different things.”

They said in a statement: “With sadness, we’ve decided to separate. Our schedules made it difficult. We’ll remain good friends.”

However, recently Kem admitted they hadn’t kept in touch.

Who’s Kem dating now?

In February 2018, it was reported that Kem had been dating brunette beauty Ruby Blake when he started on Dancing On Ice.

At the time a source said: “Kem planned to be single for a while after Amber but he’s really taken by Ruby.

“There’s an obvious similarity with Amber and he knows people will make that connection.

“It’s still early days but Kem is certainly having a lot of fun.”

Ruby joined Kem at his hotel while filming the ITV show.

She also supported him during the live shows.

But the relationship seemed to fizzle as Kem was later spotted on a date with Love Island 2018 babe Kendall Rae-Knight. 

Kem has kept his romantic life under wraps since then, however early in 2020 Kem went Instagram official with his new beau Alexandra Hyler.

Alexandra – or Lexi – met on holiday in the middle of 2019, and became serious a few months after that.

And the pair seem a loved-up as ever, with Kem crediting Lexi for finally making him “happy”.

When will Kem take part in Soccer Aid?

Kem is set to line up for harry Redknapp’s Rest of the World XI once again, having taken part last year.

However, his appearance hangs in the balance after he tore his hamstring thanks to the tough training schedule.

The Love Island star hopes to be fit enough to take on the England XI – captained by Olly Murs – and play alongside the likes of Roman Kemp, Patrice Evra, Robbe Keane, Billy Wingrove, Santan Dave and Celcee Grimes, along with many more.

This year’s event will shift back to Old Trafford in Manchester, having spent the last two years away from the Theatre of Dreams.
Originally the match was set to kick off on Saturday, June 6 – however this was pushed back to Sunday, September 6 thanks to the coronavirus pandemic.
While there will be no fans in the ground, the match will air live on ITV from 6.30pm and live streamed on the ITV Hub.
