Ronnie O’Sullivan’s on-off partner Laila Rouass stuns in floral dress for British Fashion Council Diwali party
RONNIE O’SULLIVAN’s on-off partner Laila Rouass dazzled in a stunning dress as she attended a gala in London.
Rouass, 53, and O’Sullivan, 48, reportedly called time on their engagement in September after a 12-year relationship that saw them patching things up after a breakup in 2022.
The actress, however, continues her public appearances as she attended the Bags of Ethics x British Fashion Council Diwali party in a floral autumnal dress on Tuesday.
The TV star’s Johanna Ortiz Between Daydreams botanical print cutout maxi dress is said to be worth £1,254.
According to The Mail, Rouass’ engagement ring was missing after the recent news of her breakup with O’Sullivan.
The couple first met in 2012 when the Footballers’ Wives star was looking for a new home and stumbled upon the snooker star’s abode.
His father showed Rouass around the property, and later told his son who had been round.
That led to O’Sullivan contacting the estate agent, who asked her out on his behalf.
Four months later, the pair were head over heels for one another and set up home before getting engaged in 2013.
However, despite everything appearing to be rosy in their garden – the two temporarily broke up in 2022.

But the break-up seemingly ended within weeks, with the snooker star insisting things were happier than ever.
Nevertheless, that also didn’t last long as news broke they went their separate ways in September.
A friend said: “They have been going in different directions.”
Actress Laila was not wearing her diamond engagement ring when she appeared on This Morning in August.
Seven-times world champion Ronnie gave her the huge sparkler in 2013 — a year after they started dating.
However they never married and friends say they have now broken up — 147 months since they got together.
O’Sullivan was knocked out of the BetVictor English Open on Tuesday.
He is tied with Stephen Hendry for most World Championships wins on seven.
O’Sullivan’s record-breaking trophy haul also includes eight Masters and eight UK championships.
However, The Rocket – worth over £14million – has hinted at retirement several times already this year.
He’s already admitted he wants to take up a role as a RUNNING coach when he puts down his cue.
O’Sullivan has also opened his own academy in Saudi Arabia.
The facility will help develop the sport’s best talents from around the world.
