Snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan has reportedly rekindled his relationship with Laila Rouass. The couple spent 13 years together and were engaged before they announced that they had split just nine months ago.

The split came at a time when O’Sullivan was enduring one of his toughest times at the table, and he has hardly featured in recent months – heading into the Snooker World Championship with very little public preparation.

But, according to The Sun, O’Sullivan has reconciled with Rouass and the pair are back together. The couple are now planning for a move away to Dubai for a ‘clean break’, with their home now up for sale. The property, based in Epping Forest, is up for sale for £2million.

O’Sullivan and Rouass are said to have been back together ‘for a while’ and that their split last year has helped them recognise how they both want to be back together. The Rocket has also openly discussed moving to the UAE with his snooker rivals, which is just a two hour flight from his snooker academy in Saudi Arabia.

The couple are now ‘really happy again’ and now they hope that the switch to the Dubai will allow them to lead a ‘happy, quiet life’.
