What happened between Molly and Callum on Love Island?
Callum Jones was first introduced to Love Island viewers in 2020 when he appeared as part of the original male line-up. He and Shaughna Phillips quickly coupled up with one another and things were going well between the couple until the infamous Casa Amor.
During Casa Amor, Callum got to know bombshell Molly Smith and, in turn, brought her back to the villa, leaving Shaughna single as she had chosen to stay loyal to Callum.
Both Callum and Molly were dumped from the villa on day 38, however they continued their relationship on the outside and became a power couple. The pair moved in together and adopted two dogs.
"We are perfect. We've got two dogs so we've got a proper little family going, it's lovely," Callum previously told MailOnline. "There [are] other things we want to focus on at the minute but obviously in the future it's definitely something we both want together."
However after a three year relationship, the couple reportedly broke up in September 2023.
"It's really sad news as they were a sweet couple together, but it's over," an insider told The Sun.
Molly and Callum have since come face to face with one another in the Love Island villa, and it seems neither of them had a clue the other would be in there.
It was reported by The Sun days before the launch that the pair had been "lined up" for the show.
A source told the publication: "It'll be a shock for both of them when they come face to face in the villa – they only recently split and it was heartbreaking.
"They were both so sad after the break up – there's no animosity, so it's on the cards they could fall back in love in the villa."
