'She's mended my broken heart... he makes me feel complete': Alex Reid and Chantelle Houghton gush about their love

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

'It's love': Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid gaze at each other as they admit they're in love on This Morning

They've both been burned by their shortlived marriages and subsequent divorces.

But after just over three months together, it appears Chantelle Houghton, 27, and Alex Reid, 36, have overcome their heartbreak and found 'love'.

During their first joint TV interview, the couple said the 'L word' for the first time and admitted they had discussed possible marriage.

In a saccharine profession of love on This Morning, Reid said: 'I was very nervous when I first met Chantelle, because my heart was still broken... but she's mended it.'

Alluding to his estranged wife Katie Price, who dumped him in January after less than a year of marriage, he said: 'I was scared of love after... you know.

'It feels like there's no pressure - at first I was a bit stand-offish and I was like "hold on" - I was scared of love after for better for worse.'

Houghton met Reid at - ironically - the Fate Awards in Belfast on April 15 - just days after she split from TV presenter Rav Wilding following a five month romance.

As well as dealing with breaking up with Wilding, Houghton was struggling to come to terms with news from her doctors her yo-yo dieting had seriously affected her fertility and she may not have children.

She said: 'I've got a lot going on personally... He makes me feel so secure. He makes me feel complete.'
