Ella and Tyrique were on-and-off after the villa: they split in early 2024, reconciled that August, then called it quits for good in November 2024. Ella went on to date footballer Lloyd Jones until early 2026 — and reunion speculation about Ella and Ty persists, though neither has confirmed anything.

“Ella (via Snapchat Q&A): Just to clear things up we're not together. Didn't speak on it while we were figuring things out and dealing with it privately. Both agree it's for the best and wish him well. Tyrique separately responded: Tf you want me to say? This is my life g. Did you announce your breakup to the world? Just cos people on Love Island usually put out statements don't mean I have to.”
