Reality TV stars Millie Court and Liam Reardon, who won the hearts of the nation on Love Island series 7 in 2021, have reportedly ended their relationship for a second time. The split comes as Millie enters the Love Island All Stars villa in South Africa in 2026.
The On-Again, Off-Again Romance
The couple's romance has been a rollercoaster for fans since they first met and won the ITV2 dating show. After dating for a year post-villa, they initially parted ways, citing the challenges of a long-distance relationship with Liam based in Wales and Millie in Essex.
Their reunion a year later delighted supporters, and they managed to make their cross-country relationship work for a further three years. During this time, they continued to co-host their joint podcast, 'Liam & Millie', often filming segments separately to accommodate their locations.
Why Distance Proved Insurmountable
According to sources close to the pair, the geographical divide has once again been their undoing. Tabloids were told that the couple "tried so hard" to sustain their bond but ultimately found the distance too difficult.
The insider stated, "Obviously, they've worked things out before, so friends are hoping this might just be a blip as it's all still very fresh. But right now they are spending time apart." As of 15 January 2026, neither Millie nor Liam has publicly commented on the split.
All Stars Villa and Future Speculation
The timing of the news is particularly poignant, with Millie currently appearing on Love Island All Stars 2026. Interestingly, Liam had previously admitted in interviews that he would consider entering the All Stars series if he and Millie were no longer together.
This admission has now sparked fervent speculation among viewers that Liam might make a dramatic bombshell entrance into the South African villa in a bid to win Millie back, or to find a new connection. Fans of the show are being advised to "watch this space" for any surprise developments.
The pair's close friend and fellow Islanders, such as Chloe Burrows who came second in their series, have yet to comment. For now, the four-year relationship between the 2021 winners appears to be on hold, with hope remaining among their supporters that history could repeat itself with a future reconciliation.
