It's been a couple of months since this year's Love Island: All Stars wrapped and, predictably, the hardest of hardcore Love Island fans (and the press) are watching our final couples like hawks, looking for the slightest sign that there is trouble in paradise.

Why we can't all just live and let live, we have no idea, but it's just part of the sometimes rather toxic Love Island package these days.

And right now, fans are fixated on Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard's relationship, with some fans and publications suggesting that the couple have split behind closed doors.

Over the bank holiday weekend, rumours were circulating that the All Stars finalists had parted ways after fans clocked that they had spent Easter apart - Ekin-Su was in Istanbul and Curtis was back home training ('cause you train for boxing matches against other celebs when you're a Love Island boy in 2025 - seriously, when did this become a thing?).

Oh, and Ekin-Su posted a grid post of her enjoying some pottery with the caption, 'Self love.' That really got a few Love Island hawks going.

Can we say clutching at straws? We can and do, but come on...

Naturally, these fan theories found their way to some major press outlets which only fanned the flames.

Now, if you know these Islanders like we do, you'll know that these two are not ones to shy away from the rumour mill if it's spinning out of control. Ekin-Su especially knows when to clap back publicly in the most on-the-nose way when she deems it necessary and they've done it in response to the recent split rumours.

Clearly exacerbated by the recent speculation, the pair took to Curtis' Instagram story to stress to everyone that they are very much still together in there here and now.

Curtis sarcastically said, 'Apparently I'm single again. Yes! But, unfortunately, I've got back with my ex straight away and here she is...'

To which Ekin-Su added (with some iconic Ekin-SASS), 'Apparently spending two or three days away means we've broken up.'

Curtis then explained that Ekin-Su was busy working in Istanbul, while he was training, adding, 'You were working away and I was working in a dungeon getting beaten up.'

Ekin-Su then giggled, 'Well guys, it just proves that exes can get back together,' adding, 'this is the shortest break-up we've ever had... no jokes because The Sun's going to write about that as well.'

Ekin-Su and Curtis met while filming All Stars in January 2025 and were drawn to one another straight away. Despite a Danielle-Sellers-shaped blip a few weeks in to their Love Island journey (remember Curtis and Danielle holding space in the Hideaway?), the couple remained together for the entire stint and made it to the final.

Out of the final five couples, Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame are the only All Stars to split, the rest are all believed to still be going strong.
