Inside Conor Maynard’s chaotic dating history – from dating app disaster to Traitors scandal and Love Island ex
CONOR Maynard has announced he is starting a “new chapter” after putting his Traitors baby scandal behind him and settling down with his girlfriend.
Just days after he told fans that a DNA test had proved he is NOT the father of Traitors star Charlotte Chilton’s baby, Conor announced his next step.
The Can’t Say No singer and YouTube star, 32, has bought a house with his girlfriend Kitty Bertrand and he has insisted he is “onto a new chapter”.
But although Conor is adamant he is settling down, getting to this stage in his life has been a rocky ride.
Here, we take a look at the chaotic dating history of the star who found fame on the internet aged 19.
SAD SPLIT
One of Conor’s first experiences of heartache came soon after he found himself in the public eye.
He dated model Victoria Tansey for two years after meeting her on a photo shoot, but they called it a day in 2016.
Conor later described the break-up as “very, very sad” and even admitted that he had thought Victoria was The One.
He told the Daily Star: “It was very very sad obviously but this break up wasn’t a f*** you break up it was more of a mutual decision and having to do the right thing.
“We had to be adults and realise what was best for us at the time. There was no hatred or anything like that, it’s hard though.”
He added: “She’s someone I could see myself forever with.”
DATING APP DISASTER
Conor made a desperate plea in 2019 after he was blocked from “almost all” dating apps.
The star begged bosses of Tinder and Hinge to unblock his account after he found he had been booted out.
Conor pleaded that he was “lonely” and needed the apps to find himself a new girlfriend.
He wrote on X, which was called Twitter at the time: “This happened to me on both @Tinder and @hinge … any help guys?
“The holiday period can be pretty lonely.”
Conor later insisted he had been blocked after being reported as a “fake”.
He told Student Pocket Guide: “I’m banned from almost all dating sites because my profile gets constantly reported for being fake.
“I would say 9 out of 10 times I get people messaging me for proof it’s actually me!”
LOVE ISLAND EX
Love Island has had its fair share of bombshells over the years but, in 2023, a big bombshell about Conor was dropped.
Islander Layla Al-Momani, who was among that year’s cohort of Casa Amor girls, revealed she had previously dated the singer.
Layla even claimed he “wrote songs” about her following their split.
She said: “My ex is a famous singer. He wrote a few songs about me since we broke up.”
To prove she was telling the truth about the romance, Layla shared pictures of herself and Conor on social media.
Conor was also filmed talking about a song called If I Ever and a ‘recent heartbreak’.
Fans were convinced he was referencing his romance with Layla.
Conor said: “At the end of 2022 I had my heart ripped out, yay, woo.
“Anyway I took that time to write some music about it and this is one of the songs. It’s called If I Ever.”
TRAITORS’ BABY SCANDAL
Conor found himself in the headlines last year when Traitors star Charlotte Chilton named him as the father of her unborn child.
The pair met at a champagne-fuelled wrap party for the BBC show, which is hosted by Claudia Winkleman, but Charlotte claimed Conor later turned on her when she revealed she was pregnant.
In an emotional post, Charlotte told fans she was ‘going it alone’, saying of her unborn child: “She deserves to know where she comes from. I’m not a secret, she’s not a dirty secret. I won’t be treated like one anymore, I won’t be silenced.”
She added: “Conor is his name. I met him after The Traitors wrap party and we started seeing each other and Penelope arrived in my tummy!”
Baby Penny was born in October and fans have been gripped after Conor suddenly said last week that he had taken a paternity test which proved he is NOT the father.
The Sun later revealed that ‘suspicious’ Charlotte has doubts about the test’s accuracy after the singer switched testing locations at the last minute.
But his rep has hit back, blasting: “It is very difficult to understand how the location of the paternity test would have changed the results.
“To be clear, this test was conducted by a registered nurse in the presence of Charlotte’s legal representative.
“The results have clearly drawn a line under the matter, and we can only hope that Charlotte can find a way to move forward.”
‘MYSTERY’ WOMAN
Conor raised eyebrows last summer when he was spotted with a ‘mystery’ woman while in London‘s Battersea Park.
The sighting came just days after Charlotte had claimed Conor was the father of her unborn child.
Conor and the pretty brunette were snapped alongside his sister Anna and her boyfriend Harry Clark, who is also Charlotte’s Traitors co-star.
It has since transpired the woman is model Kitty Bertrand, who he has just bought a house with.
Despite the ongoing baby saga with Charlotte, the couple have stayed strong and were snapped outside their new home last week.
Conor told his Instagram followers: “Onto a new chapter.. The photo was taken on a grey, miserable day so I edited the sky.
