They suffered a famously rocky relationship, which was widely documented on The Only Way Is Essex.
And Megan McKenna, 24, has revealed that she and her on/off beau are ‘better than ever’ as she spoke to The Sun on Tuesday. Referring to their troubled past, Megan commented: ‘Honestly he’s been like the best boyfriend, our relationship now is just like better than it could ever be. Megan referred to the difficult time when she spoke exclusively to MailOnline about her new show, There’s Something About Megan.
The show documents her journey to Nashville, Tennessee, in a bid to launch a career in country music, and Megan divulged the inspiration behind the song she wrote with world-class songwriters. ‘I wanted to write a song about when you love someone but they’re the problem basically,’ she started.
‘I went back to not a very nice place in my life when I was going through a break up and I kind of explained it all.’
Discussing what she meant by explaining herself, Megan admitted that she wanted to reveal her side of the story when going through her break up with Pete. ‘You guys have just seen me on telly [on TOWIE] losing it, going mad when I’ve had a break up, but no one saw the softer side of me with the break up, and I wanted to put that in the song.
‘I really feel like it was a good way of explaining it.’
Megan and Pete briefly split in March this year, after their relationship hit a tumultuous patch when she discovered conversations of a sexual nature Pete had with his ex-girlfriends on his phone.
The pair also fell out with TOWIE co-star Chloe Sims, who had found herself in hot water over her close friendship with Pete after he and Megan had broken up, causing Megan to accuse them of getting together illicitly behind her back. Megan and Pete have now worked through the drama, although a slightly bitter Chloe recently hit out at the pair and branded them ‘toxic’.
But Megan admitted that she found having a relationship with Pete in the public eye difficult at times, and she had to be strong to deal with it.
‘I think relationships in the public eye are always gonna be difficult. Because it’s a lot of pressure, not just from filming with people all the time, it’s all the online stuff, people commenting and getting involved.
‘It’s a lot harder having your relationship in the public eye. We’ve just got to try and ignore the comments basically.’
