Love dramas
They’ve been in an on/off relationship for ten years, and it seems TOWIE favourites Gemma Collins and James “Arg” Argent may have reunited just three months after their latest split.
The pair were spotted enjoying a family dinner at an Italian restaurant in London last week, ahead of the lockdown. Gemma turned up with her two young nephews and Arg, who was already at the venue, joined them on their table, with the pair cosying up together.
In September, Closer revealed that Arg, 32, had been trying to win back Gemma’s affections following their fallout in July. But friends expressed their concern over another doomed reconciliation and, as a result, insiders reported Gemma, 39, was feeling torn. A source reveals, “Arg has been moping about a bit recently and telling friends he wants to get back with Gemma. He’s reached out to her, and while she’s trying to stay strong with her decision to move on, she admits she’s feeling torn because she genuinely does love him and desperately wants her happy ending.”
And last week, a source told Closer that Gemma had been feeling nostalgic over their relationship, as they had planned to go away to Thailand together at the end of the year
to celebrate Arg’s one-year sobriety. At the time, pals had revealed that Gemma had seen the getaway as a chance to get Arg to propose to her.
Their latest reunion comes as Arg has vowed to turn his life around by staying clean and getting healthy, following his third stint in rehab at the start of 2020. His year has been so problematic that it’s believed his limited company has made no cash profits this year. Back in July, Gemma posted details of the fierce row that had led to the pair calling it quits, including sharing a slew of abusive messages from then-boyfriend Arg, in which he called her a “hippo’ and a “fat f**k”, after she suggested he had bought another woman dinner and not her.
