Josh flew out to the US last week to be reunited with his girlfriend as they celebrated the milestone.
“2 years with my favourite person,” wrote Sophie as she shared a video with Josh as they danced and drank shots together.
She added in the caption: “Happy anniversary my love.”
Josh, 31, also shared a video to his TikTok page, writing: “2 year anniversary” with a love heart emoji.
The couple previously lived together in Manchester, but are now navigating long distance following Sophie’s move to LA.
Earlier this month, Sophie, 27, arrived in the US in the states – something she said has been in the works for several years.
Josh remains in the UK, where he runs his own construction company.
Opening up on the move, and why she decided to do it solo, earlier this month, Sophie said in a TikTok video that she and Josh were “taking the sacrifice” of being apart for the sake of their careers.
Explaining that Josh is too busy with work to move with her, Sophie said that she had a “good feeling” about the career move and assured fans the couple would “never break up”.
Sharing her plans to be in the US for the next few years, Sophie said: “It’s a three year visa, so, I’m going to initially be here for three months.
“I’m going back to London for work and Josh’s birthday. And then, coming back out, yeah, I’m just gonna go back and forth from here and London for the next however long.
“I just feel like if I didn’t do this now, first of all it’s an expensive thing – getting a visa.
“And I just want to do it for me. Before me and Josh actually think about having children.
She added: “I just feel like there’s a lot of opportunity here, so, I’m gonna give it a go.”
She is signed to prestigious agency Wilhelmina Models.
Sophie, whose sister is Rochelle Humes, first rose to fame on Love Island in 2020, but failed to find love on the dating show.
While Josh appeared on the series’ first ever series five years prior, and has had and Georgia Harrison.
