Love Island All Stars: Ciaran Davies Confirms Split from Samie Elishi, Fuels Tyrique Hyde Romance Rumors
Just weeks after winning Love Island All Stars, the whirlwind romance of Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies has come to an conclude. The pair, crowned champions last month, have reportedly split, sparking speculation about a potential connection between Samie and fellow Islander Tyrique Hyde.
Swift Split and Cultural Differences
The breakup, announced just three weeks after their victory in February, initially surprised fans. However, sources reveal that cracks began to appear almost immediately after the show concluded. Cultural differences between Samie, from Islington, North London, and Ciaran, from the rural town of Pencoed in South Wales, proved insurmountable.
“Samie and Ciaran came out of Love Island and went to visit Wales almost instantly,” a source told Closer Online. “When they got there, Samie decided Ciaran wasn’t for her as he came from a small town. She realised their lives were too different.”
Tyrique Hyde’s Long-Standing Interest
Adding fuel to the fire, Samie has been spending time with Tyrique Hyde, who has openly expressed his admiration for her for months. Tyrique, a semi-professional footballer from Essex, was already part of Samie’s social circle and shared a more aligned lifestyle.
Prior to entering the villa, Tyrique didn’t hesitate when asked who he would most like to share a bed with, responding, “Samie, she’s very solid looking.” He further stated, days before the All Stars season began, “I rate Samie. She’s a good-looking girl. I’ve seen her in real life and I have been around her at events and she is so cool.” He even commented “Happy New Year” with a heart emoji on Samie’s January 5th Instagram post.
Ciaran Davies Confirms Single Status
Ciaran Davies has now publicly confirmed his single status. In a recent interview, when asked directly if he was single or in a relationship, he stated, “I’m currently single.” Closer Online reports this confirmation ends speculation about the status of his relationship with Samie.
Tyrique Denies Involvement in the Split
Despite the timing and his clear interest in Samie, Tyrique has denied any involvement in the breakup. He stated, “People are saying I’m the reason her and Ciaran broke up. How can I be the reason? I’m in Essex, she was in New York, and he was in Wales.” Closer Online
Samie and Ciaran were photographed together on Monday night at a Baller League match, and are reportedly planning a trip to further explore their connection.
As of March 26, 2026, the future of these Love Island relationships remains uncertain.
