Love Island All Stars contestants Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame, who finished fourth in the series, have now gone their separate ways just weeks after the show ended. During their time in the villa, Catherine, 24, and Omar, 26, became a favorite among Love Island fans. Their chemistry and connection kept viewers engaged, and they outlasted several other couples to secure a respectable fourth-place finish in the grand finale at the end of February. However, their relationship failed to transition into the real world, leading to an amicable split.

An insider revealed that while Catherine and Omar enjoyed their time together, they never officially became an exclusive couple. “They never reached the ‘exclusive’ or ‘boyfriend-girlfriend’ stage, so it just ran its course,” the source stated. Their connection may have been strong within the villa’s controlled environment, but real-life dynamics proved to be more challenging. Catherine and Omar had already crossed paths before entering the Love Island villa. Moving in the same social circles in London, the two even had mutual friends. Omar even admitted that he had his eye on Catherine before the show and was hopeful about building something with her.

His journey on the show began as a bombshell on Day 19 when he took Catherine and fellow contestant Grace Jackson on dates. However, his bond with Catherine grew stronger, and they chose to stick together until the finale. Fans rooted for their romance to blossom outside the show, but reality had other plans. Fans began speculating about their breakup when they noticed a change in their social media interactions. While the former couple still follows each other on Instagram, their usual interactions—such as liking and commenting on posts—stopped. Omar even stopped engaging with Catherine’s most recent pictures, sparking further rumours of their split.

Just five weeks ago, Omar had expressed his gratitude towards Catherine for helping him reach the final. Sharing a heartfelt message online, he wrote: “From the deepest part of my heart I just wanna say thank you to everyone who’s supported my journey as well as Catherine’s because without her things wouldn’t be this way. I can’t wait to show you all more fun times ahead as we embark on this new journey in life!”

The speculation was finally put to rest when fans directly asked the pair about their relationship status on Snapchat. One fan messaged Catherine, asking, "Are you and Omar still dating? You don't have to answer if you don't want to?" to which she simply replied, "No xx." Similarly, another fan reached out to Omar with the question, "Have you and Catherine ended things?" Omar responded with honesty, saying, "We both gave it a shot & decided we're better off as friends. We're still cool with each other, so please don't overthink it. So my answer to you...is yes."
