The pair were all smiles for pictures as they visited high-end Mexican and Japanese restaurant Peter Street Kitchen earlier this week.
Antigoni looked stunning in a Zara white ruffled midi dress with a thigh slit and strappy white heels.
She accessorized her look with a Louis Vuitton mini bag and wore her signature blonde curls loose over her shoulder, tossing them to one side.
The TV beauty completed her look with a bronzed makeup palette and subtle eye shadow.
Jacques looked just as stylish in a black printed hoodie and light gray ankle pants.
The pair were seen exchanging glances as they strolled around town.
In one photo, Antigoni leaned against her co-star with her arms around her waist.
In another snap, the pair were seen laughing as they made their way to the posh restaurant.
The couple grew closer after leaving town and developed a strong bond.
Jacques, 23, entered the villa on the seventh as a bomb, while Antigoni, 26, arrived ten days later.
Unfortunately, the singer didn’t have much luck finding her, and her stint only lasted eight days, before the boys decided to leave her off the island.
Meanwhile, Jacques, who was in a relationship with Paige Thorne, 24, left the show earlier this month and sadly the paramedic has since been spotted with Adam Collard, 26 .
Since returning to the UK, the Antigoni and Jacques have met a few times.
Last week, they headed north to Manchester and the beauty filmed them in the car.
When they arrived, Antigoni treated Jacques to a meal at his mother Tonia Buxton’s popular restaurant chain, The Real Greek.
Shortly after the rugby boy left town, Jacques revealed his secret close relationship with Antigonus while having lunch with his family.
The former Islanders enjoyed a “family” lunch with Antigoni’s celebrity chef, Tonia, and Jacques’ mother, Janet.
They enjoyed an alfresco dinner at London’s Bluebelles cafe, before posing together for a photo.
Jacques left the show after struggling to cope.
The star received a lot of backlash for how she acted during Casa Amor, but Antigoni had her back.
Jacques kissed Cheyanne Kerr, 23, on Paige’s back, which sent fans into a frenzy.
During a recent interview with Digital Spy, Antigoni was asked which islanders he thinks have been portrayed in a bad light.
He explained that Jacques’ personality has not been fully shown.
Speaking to the publication, she revealed: “In terms of a fair light, I feel Jacques has been put in a pretty bad light and he’s really lovely.”
“He definitely has that boyish/kid side that can toe the line of being a little too sassy at times, but that’s just one side of his personality.
“And there’s another side to her personality that’s really sweet and sensitive and caring.”
He continued: “I don’t think viewers will actually see it, which is a shame, but I hope they will in the next few weeks.”
