Love Island All Stars Romance Cools Off After Villa Departure
The brief romance between Curtis Pritchard and Kyra Lizama on Love Island All Stars has reportedly fizzled out just days after the couple exited the villa. The pair, who met during the show's Villa USA segment, are said to have gone their separate ways amid logistical challenges and public hints about their status.
Valentine's Day Post Sparks Tension
Over the past weekend, tensions surfaced when Zara, the partner of Curtis's brother AJ, posted a video declaring she was tasked with finding Curtis a Valentine's date. Curtis reshared the clip, prompting Kyra to comment 'Ouch lol' underneath, clearly expressing her dismay at the implication he was single.
A source close to the situation revealed to The Sun: 'They said they'd see each other after the villa but everyone knew Curtis wasn't going to fly to Hawaii where Kyra lives. Then Curtis's brother's girlfriend did that post about him being single on Valentine's – so it's over between him and Kyra.'
The insider added that Kyra had contacted Curtis about booking a flight to the UK, but he advised her not to bother, confirming the split.
Curtis's Post-Villa Comments Hint at Distance Issues
Following his exit from the villa a few weeks ago, Curtis had spoken about the challenges of maintaining a relationship with Kyra, who resides in Hawaii. In an interview, he remarked: 'I won't lie, she lives at the other end of the world. I'm not putting any pressure on it, she's not. We've both had chats and stuff, and we're still messaging and seeing what's what. Maybe I'll go over to Hawaii, I've never been.'
He also expressed hope for a potential reunion during a possible post-show gathering, saying: 'You know last year when they flew everyone out for the final, and that little – I'm gonna call it a round table chat where it's around the fire pit and they just roast everyone? So I don't know if that's happening or not happening, hopefully it is 'cause that'll be a nice little catch up with Kyra.'
Dramatic Villa Exit Preceded Split
Curtis and Kyra were part of a major dumping on Love Island All Stars, which also saw Konnor Ewudzi and Imani Ayan leave the villa. Host Maya Jama announced that the four, along with Sean Stone, Lucinda Strafford, Scott Van-der-sluis, and Sher Suarez, were at risk after a dramatic Movie Night episode.
In a surprising twist, the decision was not left to the islanders but based on public votes, leading to the elimination of the least popular couples. This move caused emotional reactions in the villa, with Belle Hassan tearfully claiming the 'wrong people were sent home.'
During their exit interview, Curtis confessed to having feelings for his former love interest, Millie Court, from the first day, while Konnor expressed discomfort with being in a love triangle involving Whitney Adebayo.
Fan Reactions to the Dumping
Viewers took to social media to voice their opinions on the significant villa clear-out. Many questioned the producers' decision to introduce American contestants only to eliminate them shortly after. Fans penned comments such as:
- 'The fact that we still have a couple sleeping downstairs… They really needed to dump at least one more couple.'
- 'Can we dump some more couples bc that villa still looks a little crowded to me.'
- 'We need to dump like four more people, please. There's too many people in that damn villa.'
- 'Why bring the Americans just to dump them?'
The split between Curtis and Kyra adds another layer of drama to the ongoing Love Island All Stars series, highlighting the challenges of maintaining relationships formed in the intense villa environment once contestants return to their normal lives.
