Love Island's Millie Court and Liam Reardon split for second time over sad reason

Love Island couple Millie Court and Liam Reardon have reportedly split up for a second time. The couple met on the seventh series of the ITV2 dating programme in 2021 and won the series. While they seemingly had a genuine connection on the outside world, they briefly split up before getting back together.

The TV stars broke up in the summer of 2022 before finding their way back to each other a year later. However, it seems like their relationship is over again after a pal claimed they "tried so hard to make it work".

An insider has claimed that the 'distance was just difficult' so they made the decision to part ways again. The Mirror have reached out to their representatives for comment.

"Obviously, they've worked things out before, so friends are hoping this might just be a blip as it's all still very fresh," the source told The Sun.

"But right now they are spending time apart. Everyone who loves them hopes they can work it out."

They first met and fell for each other on Love Island back in 2021 when they were contestants in the villa during season seven. The pair coupled up, worked through the fact Liam had his head briefly turned in Casa Amor, and went on to win the show.

After leaving the villa, the romance continued - but they pair split in 2022. At the time of their first split, Millie said in a statement: "Hi everyone, to avoid any speculation Liam and I wanted to share with you that we have separated.

"It's been a tough decision and I am gutted but it's ultimately what is best for us right now. Thank you to every single one of you for supporting our relationship.

"Nothing will ever take away from the amazing experience we shared in Love Island and the past year and I wish Liam all the best in everything he does.

"We're both ready for new chapters and I'm excited for what's next. Love, Millie."

It wasn't long before they reunited and things were going swimmingly, with Liam recently signalling he was planning to start a family with her.

Earlier this year, Liam's sister shared footage of him playing with a child while in a village in Wales. He then re-posted the content via his Instagram Stories - adding a telling caption stating: "@milliegracecourt I want one."
