Love Island winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon have captured public attention not just for their romance, but for their two significant break-ups. The couple, who first met on the ITV2 show's seventh series in 2021, have experienced a turbulent journey from villa sweethearts to ex-partners, reconciling once before ultimately parting ways for good.
From Villa Victory to First Split
Millie Court, from Essex, and Liam Reardon, from Wales, formed a connection shortly after Millie entered the villa as a bombshell. Despite a well-documented test during the Casa Amor segment, their bond strengthened, leading them to be crowned the winners of Love Island series seven in 2021. They moved in together in Essex, building a life in the spotlight after their reality TV success.
However, in July 2022, the pair surprised their fans by announcing their separation. They released a joint statement expressing that the decision was "tough" and "gutted" them, but was "best for us right now." The statement emphasised the amazing experience they shared and wished each other well, signalling an amicable, if sad, parting.
A Brief Reconciliation and Second Chance
Rumours of a rekindled romance began circulating in April 2023, which were later confirmed by the couple themselves. They marked their reunion with a romantic trip to the Lake District and shared a series of cosy social media posts and red carpet appearances. By August 2023, they were officially back together.
During this period, Millie opened up about their initial split, describing it as a mutual decision for a break rather than a sour ending. She revealed, "I think we both knew it wasn't going to be something that ended forever... We managed to make it work again and now it's better than ever." Their relationship seemed stronger, culminating in the joint launch of a podcast on 1st October 2024.
The Final Split and Where They Are Now
The renewed optimism was short-lived. In September 2025, Millie and Liam shocked their followers once more by announcing a second, permanent split. Reports suggested that Liam initiated the break-up, with the couple struggling to maintain a long-distance relationship. Notably, neither party accused the other of infidelity, reinforcing the narrative of an amicable, if difficult, decision.
Today, their paths have diverged significantly. Millie Court is currently appearing on the third season of Love Island All Stars, openly seeking love again. Meanwhile, Liam Reardon has reportedly moved on and is in a new relationship with law student Lara Grace.
The story of Millie and Liam serves as a high-profile example of the pressures faced by reality TV couples navigating life in the public eye, proving that even a fairy-tale villa beginning doesn't guarantee a happy-ever-after.
