Love Island fans are convinced one couple from the 2023 series has already split, after they appeared to take brutal swipes at each other on social media.
Zara Lackenby-Brown and Jordan Odofin revealed last month that they were now dating after being separately dumped from the villa, and even made a joint appearance during the show’s reunion.
However, fans have begun speculating that the pair’s short-lived romance is already over, after they failed to appear loved-up during the reuion show on Sunday.
Jordan and Zara also failed to share any social media snaps together, with the hunk instead posting a now-deleted image alongside the other male villa stars.
Zara then tweeted a cryptic message, with fans then taking to Reddit to share their theories that she and Jordan have split.
Is it over? Love Island fans are convinced one couple from the 2023 series has already split, after they appeared to take brutal swipes at each other on social media
Fans’ claims stemmed from the fact that Jordan posed for the now-deleted image with Aaron Waters, who flipped his middle fingers up for the camera.
It was speculated by fans that Aaron and Zara were embroiled in a secret feud during their time in the villa, after he branded her the star ‘most likely to talk behind your back’ during a game of truth or dare.
Zara then appeared to show her outrage towards Jordan with a tweet featuring red flag emojis, though since then it appears her account has been deleted.
Fans shared their theories about the pair on Reddit, with one writing: ‘I don’t think they are together.’
A second added: ‘She’s messed things up with Jordan, he seems like a great guy.’
‘They seemed happy the night before?’ a third penned, while a fourth said: ‘They were dating in the first place to stay relevant.’
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Zara Lackendy-Brown and Jordan Odofin for comment.
Last month Zara and Jordan revealed that they were dating after being dumped from the show, with the pair hitting out at Love Island bosses for not enabling them to couple-up in the villa.

The pair, who got together after returning to the UK, said they felt ‘robbed’ when they entered the villa days apart, insisting it was obvious the would have been perfect for each other.
They said they felt ‘robbed’ that they were not given the opportunity to get to know one another in South Africa.
Zara, 25, told the Sunday People: ‘They [the producers] knew Jordan was my type before I even walked in
‘I left the villa thinking my dream man doesn’t exist, and days after Jordan arrives. I understand they have storylines to follow but I deserved to find love.’
Jordan said he expected to pair with Zara in the villa but learned she had been given the boot from the show shortly after his arrival.
He said: ‘Before going in I was asked for my top three and I said Zara was my number one, so naturally I was looking for her. It made my villa experience very different – I was in a friendship couple the whole time.’
In a later interview, the pair revealed that they started seeing each other after returning to the UK, and have since enjoyed four dates together.

Praising each other’s ‘maturity’ and ‘vibe’, they also said that there’s ‘no rush’ for things to get serious, but are very much enjoying each other’s company.
Speaking on Reality with Will Njobvu, Jordan gushed over his new flame.
He said: ‘I found her and she ain’t going anywhere any time soon. I like her energy. Apart from how she looks, of course, it’s the energy. When it’s just me and Zara, we vibe.’
Returning the compliment, Zara said: ‘I like that he is mature. After being in the villa I just know there’s not a lot of maturity from those boys. This is a grown man.
‘The connection was just there. We spoke a lot about the show and how it would’ve been nice if we were matched on the show but these things happen. I think it just shows that we would be genuine in any environment.’
Asked on whether or not they had an official title yet, Zara said: ‘We’re definitely dating.
‘There’s no real sense of rush like there is in the villa. We’re not trying to compare ourselves to the other islanders. I mean there’s a bit of pressure from fans – they call us Jara.
‘We’ve kissed. It’s a natural nice vibe, good chemistry.’

Jordan added: ‘I’m happy. Like I’m so happy. I really can’t complain.
‘It would’ve been nice to spend time with Zara in the villa, but everything happens for a reason. With how it’s going right now – I’m just enjoying it.
‘I see it going somewhere. But I don’t like putting pressure on things – I like going with the flow.
‘But I do enjoy spending a lot of time with her. One thing I do know is that she likes to travel, and I like to travel.’
