Love Island star Yasmin Hadlow has confirmed her split from fellow islander Tommy Stagg, just weeks after the conclusion of the hit ITV series. The revelation came in a candid moment during the National Television Awards at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, September 8.
The pair, who narrowly missed out on a spot in the final, had been subject to speculation regarding their relationship status since leaving the villa. While several couples from this year’s season have faced similar challenges, Yasmin and Tommy had not previously addressed the status of their romance through formal social media statements, unlike their castmates Priyah and Aiden.
The confirmation occurred while Yasmin was walking the red carpet alongside former co-star Ellie Chadwick. When questioned by a reporter about her relationship with Tommy, Yasmin was open about the difficulties of maintaining a connection in the glare of the post-show spotlight.
“So me and Tommy aren’t together anymore,” Yasmin admitted. “It just ended up being a lot to adjust to on the outside. Our lives essentially weren’t aligning.”
Despite the breakup, Yasmin was quick to quash any rumors of bad blood, emphasizing that the decision was amicable. “We’re still friends,” she added. “Still really get on, really good terms, so I’ve not a bad word to say about the guy.”
Yasmin noted that the transition from the isolation of the villa to the hectic pace of life after Love Island has made it difficult for many in the cast to maintain their connections. The pressure of balancing newfound fame with their pre-existing commitments ultimately took a toll on the couple’s ability to move their relationship forward outside of the show’s controlled environment.
Tommy addressed the transition in his own life shortly after the news broke. On Wednesday, September 9, he celebrated his 24th birthday with an introspective post on social media. Reflecting on a tumultuous year, he wrote: “What a year it’s been… so many highs, plenty of lows, but through it all I’ve learnt so much about myself and the person I want to become.”
Without explicitly naming Yasmin, his statement touched on the themes of change and growth, noting, “The business keeps growing, life keeps changing and every day I’m just trying to work harder, improve and become a better version of myself.” He concluded his message with a note of resilience, stating, “Everything happens in His timing, not ours, and I’m grateful for every blessing, every lesson and every person who’s been part of the journey so far.”
As the reality stars continue to navigate their separate paths, fans of the show can still catch the events of the season by streaming Love Island season 13 on ITVX.
