The brief but intense romance between Love Island stars Belle Hassan and Anton Danyluk captivated viewers in 2019, but their relationship fizzled out in the real world just five weeks after leaving the show. As Belle prepares for another shot at romance on Love Island All Stars, we revisit the details of their whirlwind split.
From Villa Romance to Real-World Breakup
Belle Hassan entered the Love Island villa during the infamous Casa Amor twist in 2019, where she quickly formed a strong bond with Anton Danyluk. Their connection was solidified on a memorable helicopter date just days before they were eliminated from the competition together.
After exiting the show, the couple seemed determined to make it work. They enjoyed a romantic holiday in Majorca, but the paradise was short-lived. Just two weeks after returning from their couple's break, the pair announced their split, becoming the second 2019 pairing to call it quits.
The Ibiza Incident That Ended It All
The catalyst for the breakup appears to have been a trip to Ibiza. Shortly after their Majorca holiday, Anton travelled to the party island without Belle to enjoy time with his idol, DJ Craig David. Images and videos of Anton partying in Ibiza reportedly reached Belle back in the UK, prompting her to end the relationship.
Belle seemingly addressed the situation indirectly on her Instagram Stories at the time, posting: "Know your worth. Know the difference between what you're getting and what you deserve." A source close to Belle later told tabloids, "Belle has seen all the pictures and videos of Anton in Ibiza and now just wants out. She feels he’s disrespecting their relationship and can’t see him changing his ways."
Where Are They Now? All Stars and Aftermath
Both islanders have since returned to the Love Island franchise for another try. Anton appeared on the first season of Love Island All Stars in 2024, where he reached the final with Georgia Harrison. That relationship also ended shortly after the show, with distance cited as a key factor.
When it was revealed Belle would join the upcoming All Stars season, Anton commented on social media. He stated he "wasn't surprised" by the news but wished his ex-girlfriend "nothing but the best." Belle now hopes to find a lasting connection on her second venture into the famous villa.
The story of Belle and Anton serves as a classic Love Island tale: a powerful villa romance that struggled to withstand the pressures and temptations of the outside world. Their split highlights the challenge many reality TV couples face when the cameras stop rolling and real life begins.
