Ciaran and Nicole have split as of early December 2024, just months after finishing as runners-up on Love Island UK. The breakup was amicable—Nicole explained in a podcast interview that their busy work schedules and the adjustment to real life outside the villa made it difficult to sustain their relationship, but they parted on good terms and remain friends; both have since moved on to new relationships.

“We were very lucky in that we didn't break up on bad terms, it wasn't that he did anything wrong or did anything wrong. I was so busy with work, and he had loads of commitments. When you come out of that bubble, the real world sets in. You fall in love in the villa, but then you have to learn about each other on the outside.”

“After the breakup, Ciaran was linked to Emily Moran from Love Island 2025, although neither of them ever confirmed they were dating. Nicole, meanwhile, moved on and started seeing Dylan Williams, a rugby player from her hometown. She even shared loved-up photos with him just before Ciaran's All Stars return, so she's clearly moved on.”
