Love Island stars Millie Court and Liam Reardon have reportedly called time on their romance for a second time.
The pair first met on the seventh series of the ITV2 dating show in 2021 and went on to win. They later broke up in the summer of 2022 before reuniting a year later. However, it is now reported that their relationship is over again after a source claimed they “tried so hard to make it work”.
A source that the “distance was just difficult” so they made the decision to part ways again. OK! has contacted their representatives for comment.
A source told The Sun: “Millie and Liam have tried so hard to make their relationship work. But unfortunately, the distance was just difficult and they have sadly ended their relationship for a second time.
“Obviously, they’ve worked things out before, so friends are hoping this might just be a blip as it’s all still very fresh.
“But right now they are spending time apart. Everyone who loves them hopes they can work it out.”
At the time of their first break-up, Millie released a statement saying: “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.”
After reuniting, the pair were maintaining a long distance relationship and hosting a podcast together. Liam even hinted at plans to start a family with Millie.
Earlier this year, Liam’s sister posted a video of him interacting with a child in a Welsh village. He then re-shared the clip on his Instagram Stories, adding a caption that read: “@milliegracecourt I want one.”
Last year, Millie opened up on the pair managing their long distance relationship, with Liam in Wales and her in Essex, as she told us: “Liam is not good at planning. So I’m the planner and I basically say “this is where and when you need to be”. I go away a lot with work so we might not see each other for two weeks, but that’s the longest time apart and I’ll organise it so I land back and drive straight to him from the airport. We’re making it work and it’s perfect at the moment.”
