Love Island winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon are said to be spending time apart at the moment after their long-distance relationship proved to be too much of a challenge
Millie Court has returned to social media after splitting with Love Island boyfriend Liam Reardon.
The pair first met during the seventh series of the ITV2 dating show in 2021 and went on to claim victory. Whilst they appeared to share a genuine bond beyond the villa walls, they briefly parted ways before reconciling.
The reality TV stars ended their relationship during summer 2022 before reuniting the following year. However, their romance has come to an end once more after a friend revealed they “tried so hard to make it work”.
Millie is trying to stay positive as she sent some good vibes to her fellow Love Island star Ekin-Su. All Star Ekin shared a number of posts of her recent photoshoot for Vogue Latino America.
Supporting her pal, Millie commented: “Incredible!!!!” on Ekin-Su’s post.
Heartbreaking split
A source has suggested that the ‘distance was just difficult’ leading them to decide to separate again. “Obviously, they’ve worked things out before, so friends are hoping this might just be a blip as it’s all still very fresh,” the source told The Sun.
“But right now they are spending time apart. Everyone who loves them hopes they can work it out.”
The duo initially connected and developed feelings for one another on Love Island back in 2021 as contestants in the villa throughout series seven. The couple paired up, navigated Liam’s brief wobble in Casa Amor, and ultimately triumphed on the programme.
Following their villa departure, the relationship flourished – but the duo separated in 2022. During their initial break-up, Millie announced in a statement: “Hi everyone, to avoid any speculation Liam and I wanted to share with you that we have separated.
“It’s been a tough decision and I am gutted but it’s ultimately what is best for us right now. Thank you to every single one of you for supporting our relationship.
“Nothing will ever take away from the amazing experience we shared in Love Island and the past year and I wish Liam all the best in everything he does. We’re both ready for new chapters and I’m excited for what’s next. Love, Millie.”
It wasn’t long before the pair got back together and everything seemed to be going brilliantly, with Liam recently hinting he was keen to start a family with her.
Earlier this year, Liam’s sister posted clips of him playing with a youngster whilst in a Welsh village. He then shared the footage on his Instagram Stories – adding a revealing caption that read: “@milliegracecourt I want one.”
