Love Island favourites Kaz Kamwi and Tyler Cruickshank have confirmed that they have split up, just three months after the hit ITV dating show came to an end.
The pair, who came fourth on this year’s season, confirmed the end of their relationship in a joint Instagram post on Monday [13 December].
The former couple both shared the same statement via an Insta text post, reading:
“We are extremely sad to announce that we have decided to end our romantic relationship.
We have had a fantastic journey and we will always have a special bond between us.
We will continue to be very much in one another’s lives and support each other in every way.
We are so grateful that we have shared this Love Island experience with each other, and we will continue to support each other’s careers.
Life since the villa has been amazing, but it’s taking time to adjust to a new normal in the public eye. This part of the journey hasn’t been easy for us but we’re learning.
Thank you to every single person who has supported us, we appreciate you more than you will ever know.”
A source close to the pair previously revealed that they’d called time on their relationship after realising they didn’t see a future together.
“Kaz and Tyler have decided to go their separate ways after giving everything to make their relationship work,” the insider revealed to the MailOnline last week. “The romance ended on good terms and they’re still friends, who will support each other in the industry.”
The split may have come as a surprise to fans of the couple, given that there’s been no indication on social media that they were heading for a split. Just last month, the pair attended ITV’s Palooza! 2021 at the Royal Festival Hall, and a few days later Kaz shared a photo on socials as the couple enjoyed breakfast in bed while staying at a hotel in London. Around the same time, Tyler also shared a photo of the pair to his own Instagram, as part of a branded campaign.
The duo didn’t have the smoothest of times in the villa this summer. Initially coupled up with Toby Aromolaran from day one, Kaz eventually found her match when Tyler entered the villa on day 23 after Toby and Chloe Burrows started their own romance. They hit a rocky patch (to say the least) when they both coupled up with different contestants after the infamous Casa Amor. But, fast forward a few episodes, and the pair reconciled once more before reaching the final.
RIP Kyler!
