Love Island: All Star couple Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard have fuelled fears that their relationship is over as they appeared to spend the Easter weekend apart

Love Island fans fear All Star couple Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard may have split after they appeared to spend Easter apart. The reality star couple fell for each other on the spin-off all star version of the show at the beginning of the year – although they did not win the series, as Casey O’Gorman and Gabby Allen reigned supreme.

Fans, however, remained hopeful that 30-year-old Ekin-Su, who first found fame on Love Island in 2022 on season eight of the show, and Curtis, 29, who found fame on season five in 2019, would go the distance. The pair have been sharing social media content in the weeks since the second season of Love Island: All Stars concluded in the middle of February.

But anxious fans noticed that the pair did not seem to spend the Easter weekend together – sparking fears of a split. On Instagram Stories on Sunday, Ekin-Su showed off her hair and proudly boasted that it is all her own, real hair and she has no extensions.

She then shared a sultry photo of herself declaring that she was heading “back to London” after spending some time out of the capital. Meanwhile, Curtis shared a post on his main grid showing him working out in a gym – with Ekin-Su nowhere to be seen.

The pair usually mark events together by posing for photos, leaving some fans worried that they may have broken up as they did not share loved-up Easter themed content. But other fans were relived, however, to notice that Ekin-Su had commented on Curtis’s exercise video.

She had left a message in the comments, writing: “Discipline and hard work! Proud” – and added a clapping hand emoji and a red heart emoji. Ekin-Su and Curtis have been battling claims of a split in recent days.

Ekin-Su herself sparked concerns when she took to her TikTok page to share a video lip-syncing to a Pussycat Dolls song as she got ready in her bathroom. But the song in question was Beep released by the chart-mauling girl group back in 2005. The clip instantly sparked concern from fans.

In the clip, Ekin can be seen lip-syncing to the lyrics: “I keep turning them down, but they always come around, asking me to go around, that’s not the way it’s going down, ’cause they only want, only want my ah-ha-ha, only want, what they want but, na-ah-ah, na-ah-ah. “

Her video, which attracted over 9,000 likes, was soon flooded with comments from fans questioning her relationship status. One fan penned: “Where is Curtis? ” A second typed: “Why can’t people see Ekin and Curtis not together they have broken up. “

Meanwhile a third added: “She not going to answer about Curtis cause they not together. ” However, Ekin furiously hit back replying: “Jade you would be a great journalist. But sorry to disappoint you but we are together. “

Another supported Ekin, writing: “God forbid she makes a couple TikToks on her own the world thinks she’s broke up with Curtis.”

Meanwhile one added that Ekin and Curtis had posted on another social media platform that they were enjoying a romantic date at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant.

Her cryptic upload came after Ekin appeared to take aim at her ex-boyfriend, Married At First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau – implying that he was “obsessed” with her. 31-year-old Georges claimed that Ekin had left him heartbroken after she “cheated on him” during her appearance on Love Island All Stars, where she met professional dancer Curtis.

Ekin and Georges were first linked together in November last year but kept their relationships underwraps and according to him, they even had an agreement in place for when she returned to the ITV dating programme. In an interview, he said he and Ekin agreed to her returning to the show in order to “boost” her career.

According to Georges, he and Ekin-Su were together for 10 months before she shared steamy moments with Curtis on Love Island, with the agreement being that she couldn’t go further than “kissing” anyone. “It was a super, super intense and intimate relationship…

“We had a lot of intimacy, we were very close, and physically and emotionally we showed each other such love, but she threw everything we had away for her TV romance with Curtis Pritchard,” he told the Daily Mail, adding that they spent holidays together and met each other’s family members.

She added: “I’ve been doing this too long. I suppose I did when I was growing up but, nowadays, there’s just too much going on; too busy; too many kids to worry about. I woke up at 50, and I gave a s*** less. “
