In a whirlwind of romance and fresh starts, Rebecca Vieira, the ex-wife of Love Island star Marcel Somerville, has revealed she’s already purchased a new home with her new boyfriend, just months after her highly publicized divorce. The influencer, who split from Marcel in early 2024 amid a scandal, is wasting no time moving forward, sharing glimpses of her new life with her mystery man on social media.
Rebecca recently took to Instagram to announce the milestone, posting a heartwarming photo of the couple holding a set of keys in their new home. Her caption was filled with emotion, reading: “Home isn’t just a place, it’s him, it’s us, it’s now.. every brick, every room, every quiet corner.. holds the promise of us.. here’s to the beginning of forever .. we did it.” The post marks a bold step forward for Rebecca, who seems to have found solace and excitement in her new relationship.

6 Rebecca and her new boyfriend have been moving fast through their relationship
The couple’s romance appears to be moving at lightning speed. Earlier this month, Rbecca shared Instagram Stories showcasing matching tattoos on their ring fingers, a symbol of their commitment. Captioned simply “Dream,” the images of their inked arms side by side hint at a deep bond forming in record time.
Rebecca’s new chapter comes on the heels of a dramatic breakup with Marcel, whom she married in 2022. The couple, who share a son named Roman (born in 2021), seemed to have a picture-perfect life until January 2024, when allegations of infidelity rocked their marriage. Reports surfaced that Rebecca had been exchanging “intimate messages” with rapper Slim Jxmmi, a claim brought to light by the mother of Slim’s child, KD. The scandal broke just before Marcel’s appearance on Love Island: All Stars, thrusting their personal drama into the headlines.

Marcel, 39, opened up about the betrayal on the Winners Talking podcast, recounting the moment he learned of Rebecca’s alleged infidelity. A friend reached out, revealing that someone had sent incriminating messages to the Blazin’ Squad Instagram account. “I’m scrolling through like, ‘What is this?’ I saw a picture of my ex on my bed,” Marcel shared, describing the gut-wrenching discovery. He immediately arranged for his mother to care for Roman so he could confront Rebecca, marking the beginning of the end for their marriage.
Despite the heartache and public scrutiny, Rebecca is clearly focused on her future. Her rapid transition into a new relationship and homeownership signals a determination to leave the past behind. The matching tattoos and shared home suggest a level of commitment that has surprised many, given the short timeframe since her split from Marcel.
Meanwhile, Marcel has been candid about his struggles, including the emotional toll of the breakup and the disgusting racism directed at his young son, Roman. As he navigates co-parenting and his own healing process, Rebecca’s bold moves forward highlight the stark contrast in their post-divorce journeys.
