Dancer Harriett Blackmore and footballer Ronnie Vint strutted into the Love Island villa single, but walked out arm-in-arm in the summer of 2024.

It's no secret that they had somewhat of a rocking journey during their reality TV stint but even weeks after the show ended they seemed to be going from strength to strength.

But then, just days after Ronnie and Harriett shut down cheating allegations, it was revealed that they had called it quits. Here's why.

Why have ***Love Island*'s Harriett and Ronnie split?**

Neither Ronnie or Harriett have addressed their break up head on but it was revealed by their Love Island co-star Matilda Draper. Matilda posted a TikTok of her and Harriett with the caption: "WHEN YOUR BESTIE IS SINGLE WITH YOU"

Harriett went on to post some photos with the caption, "self love season" which fans assumed was her way of addressing the breakup.

The news came just a week after Matilda and Sean Stone split because when they left the villa they were both "super busy". While their relationships didn't work out from Love Island Matilda and Harriett found best friends in one another and even got matching tattoos.

Not long before Matilda broke the news of Harriett's split, Ronnie had said that he and Harriett were "loved-up". After being accused of cheating he said: "I’ve been doing PAs, and obviously I’m going to take photos with girls and whatever, but there is nothing else, and [Harriett] knows that.

"I’ve seen what people message, you’ve just got to be thick-skinned because someone wants to earn a little bit of money off a story, and obviously we know what’s real, and that is that.”

He then went on to post a video of them on holiday with the caption, 'Next trip pending' with a white heart.

Ronnie and Harriet have a heart to heart

Four months after their assumed split, Harriett and Ronnie have been reunited on All Stars and Ronnie has claimed their relationship never really came to an end.

In a chat he said: "Obviously, when it ended, we ended it and what not but it never really ended, ended."
