Love Island’s 2024 winners Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan have made headlines once again, but this time it’s not for their victory on the popular reality show. The couple, who made history as the first black couple to win Love Island, have announced their split, much to the disappointment of fans.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Mimii revealed that she and Josh have been trying to make things work since leaving the villa, but unfortunately, their relationship has come to an end. Josh has yet to comment on the break-up, leaving fans wondering about the details of their split.
The couple, who were last seen together at the National Television Awards, had sparked speculation among fans as they hadn’t been spotted together at many other events. Mimii addressed this in her statement, acknowledging the disappointment felt by fans and expressing gratitude for their support throughout their journey.
Mimii, a mental health nurse from Portsmouth, and Josh, a semi-professional footballer from Dartford, captured the hearts of viewers with their romance on the show. They beat out other finalists to claim the £50,000 prize fund, but it seems their love story has come to an end.
Their win was a significant moment for representation on the show, as Love Island has faced criticism in the past for its lack of diversity. The 2024 series saw a boost in viewership, with about 2 million people tuning in for the opening episode, signaling a resurgence in the show’s popularity.
As fans come to terms with the news of Mimii and Josh’s split, they are left to wonder what the future holds for the former Love Island winners. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
