Guys, we are concerned that Love Island is losing its knack for creating long-lasting couples.
While season two winner's Cara de la Hoyde and Nathan Massey are STILL TOGETHER and have kids and everything and Love Island 2019 finalists Molly Mae Hague and Tommy Fury who recently welcomed baby Bambi Fury into the world are still going strong, it's been a tough few months for Love Island couples.
In the past few months couples we thought were in it for the long term have called time on their romance.
The most recent addition to Love Island couples who couldn't make it work IRL is All Stars duo Demi Jones and Luis Morrison.
The last we checked the Islanders we're giving the relationship a go, after being dumped from the villa on day eight, they had been spending time together, with Demi even posting a pic of them together on her Instagram story.
One of her followers flat-out asked, "Are you still with Luis? Absolutely gutted when you got dumped from the island, best in there."
In response, Demi shared a VERY cosy video of her and Luis in the back of the car with the caption, "He's good 😅😊."
Turns out "he's good," was translation for "he's good but we're just mates and not an item."
According to The Sun it's all over for the Demi and Luis, "They had a bit of a holiday romance and did really get on, but Demi has a lot going on and decided it would be better to cool things off."
It's not a huge shock that they're no longer a couple as they barely spent any time together in the villa together and Demi previously admitted that it was "difficult" seeing as she was in Portsmouth and Luis is based in Manchester.
The publication continued, “They haven’t made a big deal about it because they are still mates and happy to hang out with the rest of the group still. There’s just nothing romantic there.”
Before he entered the villa, stories about Luis' relationship with his two kids and his exes were doing the rounds (something he has clapped back at since returning to the UK). Then, while he was getting close with the likes of Love Island 2021's Kaz Kamwi and Demi on the show, news of an alleged secret girlfriend IRL hit the press. So much drama, so little time.
Naturally, it was one of the first things we had to speak to Demi about when we brought her in for an episode of our podcast, heat's Under the Duvet (where we were also joined by Demi's bestie Shaughna Phillips).
We were fully expecting her to giggle and nail-bite her way through the awkward Luis questions, but she went deep. DEEP.
Demi exclusively told heatworld that she spent three days in a holding with Luis after their dumping and things were going WELL.
She said, "So, we were obviously put in holding for a few days when we came out. It was unreal villa, it was massive. It was just me, him and one of the producers. We've got no phone again, we've got to wait until the show's aired before we can fly home. So it was just me and him for three days straight. So, I was really getting on with Luis, do you know what I mean? (Giggling) What am I supposed to do without internet and no mobile phone?"
She then revealed how she processed the public/press response to Luis after leaving holding, adding, "Obviously when we came out, I could see everything that everyone's been saying.
"It wasn't ideal. I didn't think it was that deep or anything, but coming out and seeing it all was a bit mind-blowing."
"I've known Luis from what he's portrayed to me from day one – no judgement, no history. He was so lovely to me, so coming out and seeing it all has been a bit mad," she told heatworld.
Then we addressed the elephant in the room – does he have a girlfriend?
Demi responded, "Well, I asked him straight up and I was angry and he admitted to me that he hasn't had a secret girlfriend and it is all lies. He was on and off seeing someone last year, or whatever, and that's who they thought it was referring to."
The All Star finished by saying, "I said I'll take the benefit of the doubt on this occasion because I've only known him a few weeks. But I said that if we're carrying on getting to know each other etc, and I see or I hear anything then I will never speak to him again. I've told him that straight up."
Boundaries queen. You know we love to see it.
