A couple who reached the final of Love Island together have split up, it's been announced this week. Molly Marsh has shared that she's no longer in a relationship with Zachariah Noble after starting a romance two years ago.
Molly, 23, and Zachariah, 28, met on the tenth series of the ITV2 show, which aired in 2023. They remained together after leaving the villa, though briefly separated last year before rekindling their romance months later. It's now been announced that they have parted ways once again. Molly shared the news with fans through a statement that she posted on her Instagram Story this evening, with her suggesting to fans that they remain "friends".
She wrote in her post: "I just want to confirm the rumours. Myself and Zac have split up and are no longer together. We have parted ways as friends and thank you all for your love and support of our relationship over the past 2 years."
A source has told the Sun that "nothing bad" has happened between them. The source said: "They just made the decision to split on a mutual basis. The pair have no bad blood between them and will continue to be friends."
The source added that the exes want to "cherish" the memories that they have made together. They concluded: "Sometimes relationships work, and sometimes they don’t but they want to continue to be friends and cherish the couple of years they have spent together and are both grateful for Love Island bringing them into each others lives."
Molly and Zachariah were original islanders on Love Island in 2023, but the former's time was cut short when she was dumped from the villa just weeks in. She left after Kady McDermott coupled up with Zachariah upon her arrival.
A twist for Casa Amor however saw Molly return just days after her departure. She then ended up recoupling with Zachariah and the pair later reached the final. They placed fourth, with Jess Harding and Sammy Root winning instead.
Molly and Zachariah continued their relationship after returning to the UK following the final. It was however announced in March last year that they had decided to separate, with the relationship said to have ended on "good terms".
Just months later, it was reported that they were back together and they went on to move in together. Molly later opened up about the relationship and said that they were "definitely stronger" after taking some time apart.
She told OK! magazine last year: "When you think about it, we fell in love in reverse. When we were on Love Island we lived together, really, then you go your separate ways and get to know each other more. It was completely backwards."
Molly also revealed at the time that as well as having moved in with each other, the couple had got a dog after getting back together. It was revealed that they had adopted a Doberman puppy named Scooby.
