Love Island 2021 had a handful of successful couples in the villa, but what happened to the couples once they left the show?
Love Island 2021 saw Millie Court and Liam Reardon take home the £50k prize money.
We saw a number of islanders come and go during the series, but the final saw remaining partners; Toby Aromolaran and Chloe Burrows, Kaz Kamwi and Tyler Cruickshank, Faye Winter and Teddy Soares, go the whole way.
It may come as a shock to learn that none of these couples are still together, with most of the series seven contestants breaking up within a matter of months.
But who are the Love Island 2021 couples, and are any islanders who left together, such as Aaron Francis and Lucinda Strafford, still together? Let’s take a look…
Millie and Liam announced in July 2022 that they had called it quits just a year after winning Love Island 2021, but it looks like they're back together in 2023.
They seemingly reconciled their relationship after nearly a year apart, keeping things out of the limelight this time around.
The couple had a turbulent journey in the series seven villa after Liam had his head momentarily turned by Lillie Haynes, but when he returned from Casa Amor he realised his heart was with Millie.
Chloe and Toby are no longer together, breaking up little over a year after they met on Love Island.
They had a rocky start to their relationship in the villa but stayed together until October 2022, calling it quits after growing apart.
On Celebs Go Dating, Chloe opened up about their breakup, admitting she 'wasn't ready' for it to end. While she didn't rule out reuniting, Toby's previously called their romance 'a closed book.'
Faye and Teddy had the most turbulent journey out of all the couples, with Faye's blow-up at her man racking up over 25,000 Ofcom complaints during one dramatic episode.
Teddy stayed committed to Faye through it all, but they split in February 2023. According to the tabloids, Teddy revealed his plans to breakup with Faye while filming for Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins in October.
Faye later went on to confirm her split from Teddy, saying in a statement: "I wanted to let you know that after lots of time and consideration, Teddy and I have decided to go our separate ways.
“Thank you all so much for supporting our relationship and sharing the journey with us. I'm forever grateful.”
Kaz and Tyler were a firm favourite Love Island couple, finishing in fourth place after becoming 'exclusive' days before their journey in the villa ended.
A week after returning home, Tyler made things official by asking Kaz to be his girlfriend but in December they announced they'd split.
However, Kaz and her Love Island bestie Liberty Poole are still strongly by each other's sides even outside of the villa! They even went on holiday together to California in April.
Just days after being dumped from the villa, Mary Bedford and Aaron Simpson went their separate ways.
Mary seemed to put Aaron firmly in the friendzone after being quizzed on what's next for their relationship.
She said: "I think we're just going to go home, when we're back in the real world again and things are more normal we're going to see how it goes, but I have definitely made a best friend in here".
During their appearance on Love Island: The Reunion, Mary and Aaron set the record straight on why they split, with Mary explaining they were both very busy people.
Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish left fans heartbroken when they split during their time in the villa.
The longest-lasting couple from the seventh series decided to go their separate ways and agreed to leave the villa together, remaining amicable.
The pair made their relationship official in the villa, becoming 2021's first BF and GF, making the news of their split extra heartbreaking!
Brett Staniland and Priya Gopaldas were dumped when they received the fewest votes from the public, after the islanders voted for who they thought were the least compatible.
They decided to continue as friends before even leaving the villa, after Priya brutally called Brett ‘boring’ and criticised his taste in cheese.
Love Island’s Faye is not happy with voting results
Hugo Hammond and Amy Day’s relationship went from bad to worse after they left the villa, after he famously branded his Love Island journey ‘tragic’ as she stood by his side.
They’ve continued to clash since, with her calling him ‘fake’ and him telling her he felt ‘like a green card into the villa.’
Lucinda Strafford and Aaron Francis were dumped just a few days after coupling up – she moved on with him after first partner Brad McClelland nominated himself to leave when they had to choose who should leave between them.
Days after they left the villa Lucinda said on the Capital Breakfast Show: “I feel like there wasn’t a specific date, it just sort of happened.”
“We were coupled up but we weren’t together together,” Aaron agreed.
