Huda, who was reportedly dating musician Louis Russell, was asked on the red carpet if she is dating anybody. She did not answer the question and said that Netflix has barred her legally from disclosing the details of her relationship.

“I can’t speak on it cause of Netflix," Huda Mustafa said, suggesting that the streaming company has barred her legally from speaking about the relationship outside of the villa. She did not reveal further details on why Netflix has kept her quiet.

Here's the video of the exchange:

The response to the question by Huda on the Reunion episode sparked widespread reactions. Although no explanation was offered by Huda, many speculated that it could have something to do with the show Perfect Match Season 3 on Netflix, where Louis Russel is a contestant. The show is yet to be aired.

A slew of reactions followed Huda's comment:

“So is Huda’ going on Perfect Match or is she using Netflix as an excuse not to speak when questioned?” wrote another.

“Does Netflix know that Huda can’t talk about her relationship for legal reasons?!” joked one.

When Huda Mustafa Soft Launched Louis Russell

Huda Mustafa dating Louis Russel is a well-known rumor among Love Island fans. In fact, quite recently, in August, they were treated to the duo soft-launching each other on social media, seemingly confirming their much-talked-about romance.

Mustafa posted a story on Instagram on August 17 where she was seen in a selfie with Russell as the duo were snorkeling. Russell followed Huda's sweet gesture with a video of him allegedly grabbing Huda's face, though it was covered. The video of Russell's latest release, ‘She's Pretty’ played in the background. Fans were sure that it was Huda. However, the couple are not Instagram official yet.
