Are Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay still together?

The winning Love Island couple of 2017 unfortunately split just a few months after leaving the villa, announcing that they'd broken up in November 2017.

"With sadness, we’ve decided to separate," the former couple said in a statement to MailOnline. "We fell in love in the villa and want to thank all the fans of the show for supporting us. We still have a lot of love for each other and will remain good friends."

A friend of the couple also confirmed the news, explaining that their increased workload and busy schedules since leaving the villa had put a lot of pressure on Kember, and they realised they "wanted different things".

"They’ve been at each other’s necks for the past month," the pal revealed to The Sun shortly after the split. They’ve clashed over the smallest things. It’s also been very hard for them to see each other with their hectic schedules."

What brought Amber to Love Island?

Although before coming on the show, Amber claimed that she loved to date, she said that she was often too busy to pursue a real relationship. “I work, work, work and guys ask me on a date and I think to myself ‘well, even if it goes well, when can I schedule in the next date?’ I over think a lot, so usually avoid it and just focus on work."

But after a summer in the Love Island villa, she had little else to focus on apart from love (and topping up her already enviable tan, of course), and found herself the wonderful Kem Cetinay.

Who did Amber Davies couple up with on Love Island?

So it all began for Amber with Harley, then she and Kem had a solid four week run coupled up together.

Then there was Casa Amore and all the dramz that ensued there, and Amber coupled up with Nathan.

Next Georgia came in and shook EVERYONE when she chose to couple up with Kem.

Aaand, finally, Kember were reunited for the last week. Yaaay!

What is Amber’s dating history?

The young beauty had two relationships before Kem, one lasting six years throughout school who she claims she still has chemistry with.

Both of her past flames still follow her on social media, despite being in new relationships themselves, and Amber has apparently “definitely broken hearts”.

Refusing to kiss and tell, Amber’s claim to fame is that she may have slept with a “big name”.
