Here’s what REALLY happened that led to Isaiah and Sydney’s shocking post-Love Island split
He got 'blackout drunk' the night before they broke up
Isaiah Campbell was left speechless when his ex, Sydney, walked into the Love Island Games villa during the heart rate challenge. They lasted for over a year after they first met on Love Island USA, but she dumped him and announced she was single after he was unfaithful.
He revealed that he basically went on a night out, got “blackout drunk” and woke up to missed calls from Sydney at 11am. It turns out she’d sent him two videos of him appearing to kiss someone, which he claims he has no memory of, which led to Sydney ending things.
Their season ended in summer 2022, which they were runners-up in, but by December 2023, Sydney revealed she was single on social media. They had a long-distance relationship, with Isaiah living in Florida and Sydney residing in Los Angeles.
Isaiah then appeared on the Forever Unemployed podcast and revealed everything that happened. The day before Sydney ended things with him, he had gone out and was bought loads of drinks by his fans, before he passed out and went home in a Uber with a friend.
Sydney called him a liar, he claims. Isaiah said: “I had no way to explain anything. When that gets brought to my attention, ‘You’re a liar.’ Not really much else was to it.” He added that he spent the day crying and fought all day to try and win her back.
He called himself “young and dumb” and said: “I was writing my heart out in a script on a text message, trying to tell her how I feel.” Sydney also asked him to fly down and explain himself in person, but Isaiah said he couldn’t afford it and started drinking to cope.
Isaiah revealed he “believes in loyalty and doesn’t believe in cheating,” and agrees he’d have acted the same if she done it to him. Sydney, however, has since said she has “no hate” for him and that she believes they needed to split so she could “step into my best self.”
