LOVE Island couple Matilda Draper and Sean Stone have announced their separation.
The couple met on this year’s Love Island, but just a month after the show ended, the couple decided to go their separate ways.

Sharing the news in a statement, Matilda took to social media and wrote: “Just wanted to come on here to tell you that Sean and I have decided to split up.
“We are still good friends and I am very grateful to have shared such an amazing experience with him.”
She continued: “We appreciate all your support during our time together and all the love you’ve shown us.”
Matilda ended the statement with “I love you all”, followed by a heart emoticon.
Sean shared his own statement, which was very similar to Matilda’s but had an extra line at the bottom that read: “We both believe this is the best step for us moving forward.”
Their split comes after Love Island fans claimed the pair faked their relationship three weeks into the show.
The couple, who came third in the latest series of Love Island, appeared on the Not My Bagg podcast to discuss life after the villa.
And despite looking very happy in the company, some thought they were not meant to be.
One said in the YouTube comments: “They don’t seem so compatible, I expect a breakup announcement in a few weeks after the frenzy dies down. She doesn’t seem to like him.”
“They don’t seem like a believable couple,” chimed in another.
A third wrote on Reddit: “lmao. Gives light to the camera.”
It comes just days after the pair sparked a split following Matilda’s party in Ibiza.
The beauty posed for a shoot with former Love Island winner Jess Harding while on the party island.
Fans were quick to notice that Sean was nowhere to be seen – which raised a few eyebrows if they were still together at the time.
And Matilda jetted off again recently, without Sean, as she partied with her co-stars abroad to celebrate Grace Jackson’s birthday.
