Irish sweethearts Megan Forte Clarke and Conor Phillips found each other on Love Island series 12, but when they failed to publicly celebrate their one year anniversary, fans began to speculate that they'd split.
Megan and Conor had an unexpected Love Island journey, as Megan was dumped early on but later re-entered as a bombshell and picked things back up with Conor.
As a couple, the pair made it to week eight of the series before they were ultimately dumped from the villa. However outside of the show, their romance seemed to go from strength to strength, often sharing fun videos and photos together on socials.
But now it's been reported that they split and it seems Megan has addressed their breakup in a cryptic post.

Why did Love Island's Megan and Conor split?
The reason for their split has been put down to cheating on Conor's part, as reported by The Sun. Conor and Megan are yet to confirm or deny this.
A source has told The Sun: "Megan is heartbroken. Her intuition was telling her something but she didn’t want to believe it. Conor has done a few things recently which have made their circle question him."
They explained: "Then she found out he had cheated on her and they’re over...
"She is very much in love with him so you never know, they might work through it, but he’s not been completely honest with her."
While neither of them have addressed the split, Megan posted a photo dump to her Instagram wearing a top that read, 'Smile now, figure it out later', which could be a clue to her current situation as she's reportedly "heartbroken".
Love Island alumni Toni Laites commented on the post: "the shirt >"
