Difficulty adjusting post-show

Though the couple was only able to last four months, it's nice to know that they end their relationship on good terms, despite having had a hard time adjusting to life post Love Island.

Fans were already concerned about whether the pair were still an item after various no-shows at a number of public events where they were expected to make an appearance together. They ended their joint post on Instagram by saying:

Life since the villa has been amazing, but it’s taking time to adjust to a normal in the public eye. This part of the journey hasn’t been easy for us but we're learning. Thank you to very single person who has supported us, we appreciate you more than you will ever know.
