Love Island 2023 finalists Ella Thomas and Tyrique Hyde have called it quits after a brief but eventful romance. The couple, who finished third on the reality TV show, have deleted all evidence of their relationship from their social media accounts, sparking speculation about the nature of their split.
Reports suggest that their relationship hit a rough patch in November, leading to a brief breakup followed by a reconciliation. However, despite efforts to salvage their romance, Ella and Tyrique have ultimately decided to go their separate ways for good.
A source close to the couple revealed to MailOnline that their breakup was not amicable, indicating that tensions had been brewing for some time. Despite their love for each other, the pair reportedly struggled to get along, often engaging in arguments both on and off-screen.
The news of their split comes as a surprise to many, especially after the couple spent Valentine's Day together just last week. Tyrique reportedly showered Ella with gifts, including a £1,200 Louis Vuitton bag, and the pair enjoyed a romantic meal followed by an overnight stay in a hotel.
With Ella and Tyrique's breakup, Love Island 2023 now sees Whitney and Lochan and Molly and Zac as the only remaining couples from their series. Winners Jess and Sammy also parted ways shortly after leaving the villa together, highlighting the challenges of maintaining relationships in the spotlight.
