A POPULAR Love Island contestant returned to normal life after exiting the villa, and is now a content dad of two with a regular job.
The Islander, 28, had a fair share of ups and downs during his time on the show, notoriously getting caught in a love triangle between his partner Montana and villa mate Tyla.
He admitted to Montana on the programme that he wanted to sleep with the other woman, devastating their trust.
He has since spoken out saying he regrets what he said and how he ruined any chances he had with her.
But today, Simon Searles has left all of the reality TV drama behind, instead opting to live a quiet life with his family.
The TV star now runs his own business as a vehicle sourcing and finance specialist, and frequently posts about his car ventures on Instagram.
Among the posts are snaps of himself at the gym, as well as pics taken with his family.
There is little information online about Simon’s family and love life, but he appears to have two children and a partner.
The family had a sweet photo together almost exactly a year ago bundled up together by a wooden backdrop.
The two young boys wore matching light blue button down shirts and shorts.
Simon opted for a casual all black fit with a graphic tee.
Meanwhile his partner embraced one of the children from behind and wore a beige jumpsuit and naturally wavy hair.
Simon captioned the post: “It was an active summer with my squad!
“Looking forward to being just as active in winter,” followed by a series of autumnal and winter-themed emojis.
Fans of the former reality star shared praises in the comments, deeming Simon as a “family man”.
“Beautiful family,” said several Instagram users.
“The Family Man,” “Lovely photos,” and “the dream everyone wants, well done bro,” remarked others.
Before officially entering the villa, Simon admitted that he was already eyeing up some of the ladies and that he wasn’t afraid to “graft” with someone already coupled up.
He ended up being dumped from Love Island only days after starring in the show though, after causing a number of rows between the women.
Simon, who said he felt more sexually attracted to Tyla and another stunner called Amber while he was coupled with Montana, noted that now looking back, he thinks he may have fancied Montana more over time.
