Are Love Island’s Ekin-Su and Davide still together?

On October 27, Davide spoke with The Sun and exposed the truth about his ‘split’ with Ekin-Su.

He said “It’s a lovely feeling being with Ekin, we probably broke up more publicly but never privately because we have always been in touch and the love between me and Ekin has always been there.”

The reality TV star further confirmed that they never broke up and are still in a loving relationship with each other.

Davide explained, “Breaking up may happen to people but it never actually happened to us, we never properly privately broke up, it was more to do with the public pressure and we were having some tough months.”

Ekin-Su hasn’t publicly responded to his revealing statements as of yet. If Davide is telling the truth, then this is definitely the first fake break-up in Love Island history.
