Love Island’s Danica Taylor and Jamie Allen become first couple to SPLIT

Love Island couple Danica Taylor and Jamie Allen have become the first couple from the 2022 series to split, MailOnline can exclusively reveal.

The pair called it quits after Danica, 21, was pictured kissing TOWIE’s Roman Hackett, 20, on Saturday despite being in a relationship with footballer Jamie, 27.

Danica, who’s a dancer from Leicester, struggled to find love on the ITV2 dating series but coupled up with Jamie during the final weeks of the competition and they narrowly missed out on the final.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Danica and Jamie have gone their separate ways.

‘They were yet to make their relationship official but have decided that they didn’t quite work together romantically.

‘Jamie has just signed for a new football team and Danica is busy pursuing endless opportunities after leaving the Love Island villa and they sadly drifted apart.

‘They’re good friends still and will continue to support each other in everything they do.’

Danica was seen kissing Roman, who’s starring on the current series of TOWIE, on Saturday morning after he dropped her off at a train station.

MailOnline has approached Danica and Jamie’s representatives for comment.

A source close to Danica added to MailOnline that Danica and Roman are ‘just friends’ and there is nothing romantic between them. 

The former couple are yet to comment publicly on their separation but haven’t posted on Instagram about each other since the beginning of August.

They starred in a loved-up photo shoot for a magazine after leaving the ITV2 villa, telling the publication that they believed their relationship would be long lasting.

Danica also admitted that the ‘salon’, an analogy the cast this year used to describe intimate acts, was ‘fully open’ with Jamie. 

This week, Jamie announced on Instagram that he has signed with football team AFC Telford United. 

Meanwhile, Danica has been enjoying attending celebrity events in London, such as the Married At First Sight UK launch party and has promoted brands such as Pretty Little Thing on her Instagram.

Love Island viewers grew to admire Danica and her resilience when it came to dating after she was rejected by the likes of Luca Bish, Jay Younger, and Billy Brown.

In one episode, Danica broke down after Billy didn’t chose her during a game of Marry, Snog, or Pie, despite them being coupled up.

Sh sobbed: ‘Once again I am back in the same situation, and I don’t want to get upset but I’m literally sick of it because I’m like what? Why? Why don’t I deserve that? I don’t understand.

‘Not one person genuinely wants to get to know me romantically. I just don’t understand.’
