A flop! The Love Island finalist couples who lasted the least amount of time together

This week, it was confirmed Love Island 2025 finalists Yasmin and Jamie have broken up. We’d had hints it was coming, and then they confirmed it. It might only seem like days ago they were in the villa together, but it turns out many Love Island finalist couples have really not made it work outside the show.

In the past, there have been couples who have had wonderful love stories for TV, and then literally within days have ended things. Winners have lasted just weeks, and other finalists have broken up in a heartbeat. Here’s a rundown, at the end crowning what is definitely one of the shortest Love Island relationships in history.

8. Jess and Max – Six weeks

Jessica and Max were the first ever Love Island winners, back in 2015. They split just six weeks after they left the villa. To be precise, they lasted an entire 40 days after the date of the Love Island 2015 final.

7. Yasmin and Jamie – Five weeks

Love Island 2025 finalist couple Yasmin and Jamie are the first of the couples from that series to announce they have split.

On Instagram, Yasmin said the are still “really good friends” and added Jamie is the “most amazing man ever” and she will be “forever grateful” for their time together.

The breakup of 2019 winners Amber and Greg still haunts me to this very day. I really thought they were end game. He swooped in, saved Amber from the trenches of Michael, and they went on to win. But just five weeks later, it was over. Amber was reportedly left “devastated” after Greg dumped her by text. Greg has always denied it happened like that, so I guess we’ll never know.

5. Matilda and Sean – One month

Just one month after making it to the final of Love Island 2024, Sean and Matilda announced it was all over. They both shared Instagram story posts confirming the split. Matilda said they are “still good friends” and said she’s “so grateful to have shared such an incredible experience with him.”

4. Jess and Ched – One month

Jess and Ched were finalists in the first winter series of Love Island. They left together, but didn’t last very long. After just one month, they said things fizzled out during lockdown and they hadn’t seen each other much.

3. Samie and Tom – One month

via ITV

Samie and Tom met in the South Africa villa and finished in third. Shortly after heading back home to the UK they made it official, but around a month later they called it quits. In a pretty brutal statement, a source said at the time they realised the relationship “just wasn’t going anywhere”. Tom’s now engaged to Molly after All Stars, so I guess he’s doing alright.

2. Laura and Paul – One month

Let’s be real. It was a bit of a shock that Laura and Paul ended up nearly winning the 2018 season. They didn’t last together very long, and called it quits when they said they had been “too busy” to make it work. A month was all it got.

1. Katie and Adam – A couple of days

Series two loyalists might remember the drama that was Katie and Adam. Others might only know Adam from when he came back for All Stars. Either way, this was a relationship that didn’t end well. They literally lasted two days.

Somewhere between leaving the villa and the wrap party, they ended things. They didn’t even make it to the “coming home” episode, a week after the finale. Yikes.
