Love Island's Mimii reveals relationship status after Ayo reunion rumours

Love Island winner Mimii Ngulube has responded to swirling rumours about her relationship status with former villa partner Ayo Odukoya.

Love Island 2024 winner Mimii Ngulube has set the record straight regarding her relationship status.

There had been speculation about a possible reunion with former villa partner Ayo Odukoya. Taking to her social media account on X, formerly Twitter, Mimii addressed the rumours directly, making it clear that she is currently single and has no interest in discussing her romantic life publicly.

In a post that quickly gained traction, Mimii stated: "And for this reason, no one will know of my next relationship until I personally say so. In fact, I could even go ahead and keep it private until I have a ring on my finger, I truly don’t care for all that and protecting what is mine comes first. As for now, I am single. I am not dating anyone, next."

Her statement came after speculation arose regarding a possible rekindling with Ayo, with whom she was previously coupled during their time on Love Island. The Shade Borough recently speculated that the two had rekindled their relationship.

In a post featuring a photo of Ayo and Mimii, they stated: "Looks like Love Island’s Mimi and Ayo might be spinning the block again! Fans have put on their detective hats and spotted a match in Mimi’s trench coat and heels in her Snapchat story bear a striking resemblance to the ones seen in Ayo’s ‘no face, no case’ post.

One fan commented: "Makes sense. She really liked that boy." Another user who didn't support Mimii getting back with Ayo wrote: "So he's back with her because he realised jess didn't actually want him. know your worth mimi.." A third fan, in support of a possible reunion, wrote:: "She really likes him let her follow her heart man."

Mimii and Ayo formed a strong connection early on in the 2024 series of Love Island, with many viewers supporting their relationship. However, their journey took a dramatic turn during the Casa Amor twist when Ayo chose to recouple with newcomer Jessica Spencer, leaving Mimii single. The decision led to tension in the villa between the Mimii and Ayo..

Despite the setback, Mimii remained composed and later formed a new connection with bombshell Josh Oyinsan. Their relationship flourished, and they eventually won the series, making history as the first all-Black couple to claim the £50,000 prize. Meanwhile, Ayo continued his relationship with Jessica, and they reached the Love Island final, finishing in fourth place.

After leaving the villa, Ayo and Jessica continued their relationship but soon faced speculation about their status. Observant fans noticed a lack of social media interaction between the pair, leading to rumours that they had split.

Jessica later confirmed their breakup in a TikTok video, responding to a fan’s comment by stating, "He doesn’t need to ask me anything because we’re not together. Let it go."

Although neither party provided further details on the reason for their separation, Jessica’s statement confirmed that their relationship had come to an end. Following her Love Island victory, Mimii and Josh Oyinsan also parted ways. At the MOBO Awards, she addressed the breakup, stating that both she and Josh had moved on with no animosity between them. Now, with rumours circulating about her and Ayo, Mimii has made it clear that she has no interest in engaging in speculation about her personal life.
