Love Island star Megan Moore has offered a poignant glimpse into the reasons behind her recent breakup with fellow Islander Dejon Noel-Williams, just seven months after they left the villa together.
Cryptic Social Media Message Sparks Speculation
Over the weekend, the 26-year-old influencer took to her Instagram Stories with a telling message. She shared a quote that read: "Normalise saying 'I deserve better'".
The full post elaborated: "Normalise saying 'I deserve better' because you absolutely do. Repeat it like a mantra, and let it sink deep within you. Don't let fear or doubt hold you back from claiming the love, respect and happiness you deserve. You're worthy of more. Never settle for less."
This has ignited fan speculation that a lack of respect from Dejon was a key factor in the demise of their relationship.
The Official Announcement of the Split
The couple's separation was first confirmed publicly just days before Christmas. Dejon, a semi-professional footballer turned personal trainer, posted a heartfelt statement on his social media.
"It is with great sadness that I have parted ways with Meg after almost seven months together," he wrote.
He cited the challenges of navigating a relationship after the intensity of the Love Island villa, balancing work, and launching a new business while in the public eye. He concluded by wishing Megan the best for the future.
Echoing his sentiments, Megan posted her own statement, expressing she was "truly gutted" and asking for privacy as she navigated this unexpected turn.
From Villa Romance to Public Breakup
Megan Moore and Dejon Noel-Williams first connected during the summer series of the hit ITV2 show. They were the only couple to remain paired from their initial coupling until they were dumped from the island a day before the final.
Their time on the show was not without controversy. Viewers often criticised Dejon's behaviour, with some labelling him a "narcissist". He was also the only contestant to break the fourth wall, commenting directly on the cameras and the audience's analysis of his romance.
After leaving the villa, the pair returned to cast the deciding vote for the winning couple. Off-screen, Dejon faced severe online trolling, including death threats, which forced him to disable comments on his profiles.
He has since focused on his business venture, Vibe Tribe Run Club, which Megan publicly supported by joining a 5k run in central London while they were still together.
The split marks the end of one of the most talked-about relationships from the latest series, leaving fans saddened but reading between the lines of Megan's latest social media activity.
