Love Island: All Stars has not been wanting drama, and tonight’s episode isn’t any exception. With a bunch of ex-islanders returning to the firepit to provide their verdict on which {couples} are most suitable, there have been sure to be some bombshell claims to depart us all on the sting of our seats.
One such claim got here from former contestant AJ Bunker throughout Sunday evening’s episode. Speaking to Belle and Harrison, she acknowledged: “I’ve been on the outside, I’ve seen things – break-ups or not break-ups…not telling a certain person…”
While viewers must wait till the episode airs at 9pm to see whether or not AJ elaborates on these feedback, it appears she could also be hinting at Harrison’s earlier relationship with former Love Island contestant Lauren, who just lately claimed that they’d deliberate to get again collectively.
So, when did the couple really break up? We’re right here to unpack their relationship timeline.
When did Lauren and Harrison get collectively?
Lauren and Harrison met on the 2025 common summer season season of Love Island. Harrison entered the villa pretty early on, but it surely wasn’t till Casa Amor that he met Lauren. They shortly grew to become smitten with one another, and he introduced her again to the principle villa, although he had beforehand been exhibiting curiosity in Toni.
A shock recoupling meant Lauren was dumped from the island, and after a day of consideration, Harrison left along with her.
Are Lauren and Harrison nonetheless collectively?
In November, Lauren took to social media to announce her and Harrison’s break up, so so far as we all know, the couple are not collectively.
Her Instagram assertion learn, “Hi everyone, Harrison & I have decided to no longer continue our relationship but will remain friends as everything was amicable and mutual. We share such amazing memories together, ones that not many can relate to. Please respect our privacy whilst we navigate going our separate ways.”
There were rumours about Harrison’s application to Love Island: All Stars, and speaking to The Sun in an interview about the breakup, Lauren even acknowledged that, “Obviously he’s on his personal now, I’d be clearly gutted [if he did All Stars].”
She went on to say, “It’s never nice to see anyone that you love on another TV show. But at the end of the day he’s single, it’s up to him what he does with his life.”
Were Lauren and Harrsion getting back together before All Stars?
However, after multiple swipes at each other on social media and some pretty concrete statements about their split, Lauren revealed a major truth bomb whilst speaking on the NotMyBagg podcast.
She said that, while yes, they did break up in November, it was mainly so they could take the time to work on themselves with the hope of one day getting back together. They still messaged most days, and it was when he suddenly stopped replying that Lauren thought he might have gone on All Stars.
She said, “It’s the fact that he’s literally just spoke to me right up until the moment and then just disappeared. You can’t disappear without a trace and go on one of the biggest shows on ITV. I just can’t comprehend the thought process from his perspective.”
Hmm… so it appears AJ’s “breakups or not break ups” remark might need some reality to it after all!
Love Island: All Stars airs on ITV2 at 9pm.
