Love Island couple confirmed as SECOND to split after Rosie and Casey's awkward break-up

Another Love Island couple have split just days after the explosive 2023 reunion show.

Eagle-eyed Love Island fans had been left convinced that Zara Deniz and Jordon Odofin had split less than a week after they were last seen chatting to host Maya Jama on the final episode of the Winter series - and on Tuesday, Zara took to Instagram to confirm the news.

It comes after Casey O'Gorman and Rosie Seabrook confirmed that they have gone their separate ways after failing to make it to the final last week, with Zara and Jordan becoming the second couple to announce their split just days after the reunion.

Zara and Jordan didn't find love in the South African villa but instead struck up a spark once they landed back in the UK and slammed producers for 'robbing' them of a relationship.

While they may not have been in the villa at the same time to find one another, they appeared to hit it off on the outside for a number of weeks, but the pair have now called it quits after realising they are not a match for one another.

Zara had posted a string of cryptic posts on social media which led fans to believe that their relationship has broken down.

She later confirmed the news in an Instagram story where she explained why she and Jordan were not a compatible pair.

"Hey everyone, Jordan and I would like to acknowledge the increasing public support for us to be seen as an exclusive couple," Zara began.

"After a few dates since leaving the villa, we know that we definitely get along and enjoy each others company. It's been two and a half weeks of getting to know each other and for now, it's a fun friendship between us.

"We have a lot of respect for each other and that's what matters."

Zara had sparked rumours that there was trouble in paradise before making the announcement when she spoke about 'red flags' and 'loyalty' leaving fans questioning what had happened between her and Jordan.

Taking to Instagram in view of her 149,000 followers, the actress and model shared a selfie of herself pouting alongside the lyrics: "Tell me when your loyalty is comin' from the heart. Tell me who you loyal to, do it start with your woman or your man? (mmm).

"Do it end with your family and friends? Or you're loyal to yourself in advance? I said tell me who you're loyal to. Is it anybody you would lie for?"

Zara and Jordan met one another on the outside after he "slid into her DMs" before they headed out on a dinner date together, with Zara describing him as a .gentleman'.

Their split comes after their fellow islander, Casey O'Gorman revealed that he and Rosie are no longer a couple.

In an Instagram Q&A with his fans, Casey revealed that he and Rosie are now just friends.

"Rosie and I have spoken... she's such a great girl," Casey explained. "Life outside the villa is just very different and we will remain friends moving forward."
