Love Island's Nicole Jacky Shares Kendall Washington Broke Up With Her

As a devoted follower of Love Island, I must say that it’s truly fascinating to witness the real-life journeys of these once-villa dwellers. From the moment Camilla and Jamie graced our screens in 2017, their love story has been nothing short of captivating. They’ve managed to create a beautiful family with two adorable daughters, Nora Belle and Nell Sophia, and their company, Love Jamila, is a testament to their enduring bond.


Nicole Jacky has officially checked out of the villa. 

Following the formal ending of her relationship with Love Island co-star Kendall Washington, who was announced just a day after their reunion episode aired, the 26-year-old disclosed insights about the split.

“On the 18th of August, Kendall and I decided our relationship was worth saving, and we were arranging for me to go see him in Dallas. But unfortunately, today, on the 20th of August, he phoned to break up with me.” (Nicole’s post from her Aug. 20 Instagram Story)

Nicole admitted that her ex’s decision took her by surprise. 

“Though I comprehend and value his choice, it’s proving difficult for me to accept it,” she went on. “In the villa, I shared my feelings with him, and he remains dear to me at present. Right now, I find myself in a mentally challenging position and ask for some personal space during this period.”

For his part, Kendall later shared a statement of his own to social media. 

He expressed on his August 20 Instagram story that he has chosen to part ways with Nicole. The situation between them had deteriorated to the point where their relationship was no longer beneficial for both parties. Despite this, he continues to hold affection and care for her deeply. In all his years, he has never felt such a profound connection with another woman as he does with Nicole.

The 28-year-old went on to emphasize there are no hard feelings on his end. 

He expressed that the bond he formed with her at the villa was genuine, and there’s no room for remorse about it. He further emphasized that she doesn’t deserve any negativity. He kindly asked everyone to cease the negative comments and direct messages. At this moment, they’re prioritizing their mental well-being. Thank you all for your understanding.

Before splitting up, the pair finished fourth in the reality show during its sixth season. But, during the reunion broadcast on August 19th, signs of tension in their relationship began to emerge.

Eventually, when Ariana Madix inquired about their relationship status following their departure from the villa, it led initially to an uncomfortable silence and later to a passionate argument between the couple.

Upon Kendall’s assertion that he had been making efforts to communicate, I, Nicole, found myself questioning his honesty, particularly concerning the explicit video of him that surfaced online soon after we departed from the villa. As per their account, Kendall initially told me that video was sent to an ex-girlfriend years ago, but later, JaNa Craig disclosed it had actually been shared on a dating app just before the show’s filming commenced.

Nicole pointed out at the reunion that the video was not acceptable. She added, “When you express love for someone during a conversation about something, honesty should be paramount. It’s confusing and untrustworthy to say it happened years ago to someone you claimed to trust – an ex-girlfriend – only to find out two days later from JaNa that the incident took place in a hotel room before going on the show while using a dating app.”

And Kendall didn’t try to sugarcoat his mistake. 

He admitted during the reunion that he should have been truthful with Nicole in that instance, but in truth, he wasn’t prepared. His life had been thrown into chaos, and all he desired at that time was your presence.

I can’t get enough of Love Island USA, and let me tell you, my heart skipped a beat when the connection between two contestants bloomed during season two, broadcasted in the sultry summer of 2020! But alas, it was not meant to last, as they sadly called it quits in January 2021.

Following an unanticipated pairing on the American edition of the show, Kyra decided to depart to explore potential chances with Cashel, having sent him home earlier.

By the close of November, they managed to make up with each other. They announced their reunion to followers on Instagram.

Regrettably, our relationship came to an end last February, as I discovered listening to the #NoFilter podcast that Kyra had removed me from her social media circles. We gave it our best shot, but it seems we’re at different stages in life now…To be truthful, I believe she also blocked my number.

According to Sammy, the breakup came as a “total shock.”

In my last Instagram post, I expressed that despite having a private discussion, the matter remains unresolved since Jess is currently away, and we haven’t had a face-to-face chat yet. To set the record straight, I wanted to express that I aimed to salvage our relationship and felt this approach was the most respectful way to move forward.

“Regardless of what unfolded today, I truly believe that Jess is an extraordinary individual, and I wholeheartedly hope for nothing but the best for her.”

I’ve got to admit, I was absolutely heartbroken when that scaffolder callously jilted Shaughna Phillips for Molly while they were both at Casa Amor. The entire U.K. seemed to turn against him as the public eventually booted the couple out of the villa. As a die-hard fan, it’s moments like these that make me question the sanity of love in the Love Island villa!

For the next three years after leaving the island, it’s said that they continued their relationship, but by September 2023, they had parted ways.

Initially popular at the start of season six, Nas eventually lost favor among fans when he broke up with Demi Jones and began dating Eva following Casa Amor.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Even though Nas and Eva were eliminated from the show, their bond survived. They took their connection to the next level, officially confirming their relationship in July 2020.

Despite speculation about their relationship status arising in August 2023, when Eva was seen wearing a ring on her left hand, Nas clarified in March 2024 that they had actually split up.

Nas shared on his Instagram Story that he and Eva have mutually agreed to part ways in their relationship. There’s no ill-feeling or misconduct involved – it was a friendly and consensual choice.

I enthusiastically shared, “Over the past few months, we’ve been attempting to find common ground, but eventually came to the conclusion that it was in our best interests. We’re both content with how things have unfolded now.”

In the heart of winter, an unanticipated duo captured everyone’s attention, only to find themselves standing third in the grand finale. Alas, our hearts were shattered when they parted ways just a few months post-villa life.

Demi shared with MailOnline in June 2020 that the relationship is over for good. She believes the reasons were more on his side than hers, but they parted ways amicably. The lockdown and their geographical distance exacerbated the situation, and without much effort in communication, they grew apart.

Ah, it’s a tough pill to swallow, isn’t it? It’s always disheartening when the triumphant couple from a competition is among the first to part ways post-event. In this instance, Greg was one of the late entrants into the villa in season five, and he and his partner were the audience’s favorite pair. They clinched the victory just before the finale, but unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last beyond a few weeks afterward.

Following a minor disagreement and some debate regarding the circumstances surrounding their breakup (it seems Greg, a rugby player residing in Ireland, ended it through text messaging), Amber expressed on Loose Women that “their careers and geographical distance had always been an issue. It was something we were aware of, so I’m not sure what shifted. I wanted to keep things going, but ultimately, that’s just the way it turned out.”

Regarding Greg, he spoke up on RTE’s The Late Late Show, stating, “She resides in the UK, every brand yearns to collaborate with her, every event wants her present – naturally, she deserves all of it. So, I chose to return to Ireland and focus on my work here.”

Following an intense beginning to their relationship, the Instagram influencer and the boxer soon emerged as the strongest couple in the fifth season, a fact that made their second-place finish all the more shocking.

In July 2024, they became engaged; this was precisely half a year following the arrival of their child, whom they named Bambi. However, Molly-Mae unexpectedly announced their separation in August 2024.

She expressed deep sadness by saying that her and Tommy’s partnership has concluded, as posted on her Instagram Stories. She will eternally appreciate the most precious aspect of her life – her stunning daughter. Our separation made her existence possible, and she will continue to prioritize her above all else.

Without a doubt, Curtis and Maura were one of the most divisive couples during season five, weathering plenty of drama together. However, they’ve silenced their critics by staying strong as a couple. Currently, Maura is participating on “Dance On Ice” in the UK, while Curtis, a skilled ballroom dancer, has secured a position on “The Greatest Dancer.” They are among the few couples remaining from their season in the villa.

On the UK’s “This Morning” show, Maura emphasized three key points about maintaining their relationship: first, trust each other; second, be skeptical of information in the media; and most importantly, remain humble and grounded to avoid letting fame change you.

Unfortunately, the pair broke up in March 2020. 

In a heartfelt message shared on my Instagram stories, I’ve announced that Curtis and I have chosen to part ways. We had an incredible journey together during our time in the villa, and I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support throughout our relationship.

Despite entering the villa later than most other couples – with popular contestant Ovie appearing during the controversial Casa Amor segments and India joining shortly after – this couple managed to reach the final round, ultimately finishing in third place.

Following the announcement of the breakup between Amber, a close friend of Ovie, and Greg, the basketball player and the model also chose to go their separate ways in a quiet manner.

India admitted to MailOnline that the break-up was challenging, but she acknowledged that all separations are hard. She added that it’s particularly tough when it happens in the public eye, but she will manage. Luckily, she has a tight-knit circle of female friends who have been incredibly supportive during this time.

It came as quite a shock when Lucie and Joe, who initially formed a pairing on day one but parted ways when he was eliminated from the villa, later confirmed that they had started dating following the end of their season, with Lucie having previously dated several other men in the villa and expressing strong feelings for a taken Tommy.

However, much like the flame of their first love, the surfer and the sandwich maker’s rekindled relationship also seemed to dwindle, leading them to separate in early December 2019.

After leaving the villa during the second half of season five, Anton and Belle ended their relationship shortly thereafter, but they continue to be friends. However, Anton expressed that there’s no likelihood of their romance restarting.

In a conversation with Mail Online, the creator of the fitness app stated quite clearly, “Absolutely not. There’s no such thing happening here. We’ve developed a friendly bond, but it’s more akin to being friends with a sibling. It’s no longer that type of relationship.”

As viewers began to fear that beloved character Camilla might not have a place in season three, a surprise entry by Jamie, a model for Calvin Klein who is also known for his love of books (affectionately referred to as a “villa unicorn”), alleviated their concerns. His arrival was unmistakable and left many swooning.

Since our first encounter back in 2017, Camilla and I have been an unstoppable team. Despite ending up in second place, we’ve consistently shown strength and determination. And if that wasn’t enough, we took the leap to establish our very own company, Love Jamila, further cementing our bond and shared vision.

In September of 2021, the couple got married and currently have two lovely daughters: Nora Belle, who was born on May 27, 2022, and Nell Sophia, who came into the world on October 27, 2020.

Nathan asked Cara for her hand in marriage in July 2018, taking her back to the very spot where they started their journey—the villa, of course—to propose.
