New photos show the TOWIE stars holding hands and sharing hugs and kisses as they relaxed at a beach resort with friends.
The exes, who recently appeared on Paramount+’s Ex On The Beach, were also photographed in an intimate display in March, three years after their split. In an exclusive interview earlier this year, James, 37, revealed what ultimately drove them apart and the anxiety of coming face to face with Yazmin after a year of not speaking.
“I will never say that we fell out of love, it was always there. It was more because of the pressure of the spotlight that separated us, being together on the show,” she said.
‘Being in that fishbowl together caused a lot of problems. At one point, it became too complicated. She did her thing and I did mine.
“We kept in touch off and on, but before the show we hadn’t been in touch for a year. We didn’t follow each other on Instagram. I hadn’t been in touch with her.”
In 2021, it was revealed that the couple had split “for good” after a series of furious fights and moved in separately in Dubai.

The couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they stared into each other’s eyes.
The couple reportedly mutually agreed to cut ties, with James planning to fly home while Yazmin stayed in the UAE.
A source revealed to MailOnline at the time that James and Yazmin actually ended up living in the same Dubai hotel, but in separate rooms, after frustrations in their romance reached a boiling point.
A source said: ‘James and Yazmin haven’t been in a good place for a while and living together in Dubai has only added even more strain to their relationship…
‘The arguments between them have escalated and turned nasty, leading to the pair deciding to go their separate ways – and this time, for good. James plans to return to the UK for TOWIE, but Yazmin has work to do in Dubai so will be staying.’
A spokeswoman for Yazmin said: “I can confirm that James and Yazmin have separated. It is an amicable split and they are both confident it is time to move on without any animosity.”
James enjoyed a passionate romance with Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson, which they documented extensively on social media.
Meanwhile, Yazmin was in a relationship with Jake McLean last year.
Things ended in tragedy last year when he died in a horrific crash in Turkey while driving the reality star in a Mercedes E-Class under the influence of cocaine and almost three times over the blood alcohol limit.
The couple had been dating for about four years.

Yazmin and James have experienced a tempestuous relationship, splitting and reconciling on several occasions after they began dating in 2017.
They split in 2019 after Yazmin accused James of betraying her by partying with a group of women in a hotel room in Turkey, where the couple were on holiday.
A year after their bitter breakup, they got back together, confirming their romance by kissing on a beach in Mallorca.
Yazmin has finally taken James back after the pair failed to keep their distance from each other amid filming TOWIE and sharing the same group of friends.
In 2020, Yazmin said, “I feel like the things that went wrong in the relationship before, we now know that we need to correct them this time. I see it as a test, and now this is the real test.”
