EastEnders Actress Rukku Nahar Steps Out With Reality Star
Michael Griffiths, once at the centre of Love Island drama, has turned a new page. And this time, it feels real. Michael, who once left viewers fuming over how he treated Amber Gill, is back in the spotlight. But it is not drama this time; it is something gentler. Something fans did not expect from him.
After months of whispers, the truth is out. Michael and EastEnders star Rukku Nahar are now officially a couple. The pair made their red carpet debut last October at the premiere of Venom: The Last Dance together. That night, their chemistry sparked rumours. But neither confirmed anything until now.
They stepped out together on Tuesday night at Wembley Stadium for a buzzing boxing event. This time, they let the cameras capture everything. Photos show Michael holding Rukku close, wrapped around her, as if he did not want to let go. In one clip, he plants a soft kiss on her cheek. Another shows them laughing as fireworks light up the sky. Rukku, who left the BBC soap in 2020, looked radiant by his side. It was a side of Michael that fans had not seen before.
