When did Molly and Callum break up? Love Island stars relationship explained
EX-PARTNERS Callum Jones and Molly Smith have come a long way since they arrived as bombshells on Love Island All Stars.
At first the former couple found it hard to live together again, following their public breakup.
When were Molly and Callum on Love Island?
Callum Jones was an original cast member on the winter edition of Love Island in 2020.
He was originally paired with Shaughna Phillips before Molly Smith was introduced as a bombshell in Casa Amor.
We are perfect. We’ve got two dogs, so we’ve got a proper little family going, it’s lovely.

A strong connection quickly formed between the two, and Callum decided to return to the main villa with Molly – leaving Shaughna devastated.
Molly and Callum exited the series before its finale, but they achieved what they set out to find on the show – they found love.
The pair quickly moved into a lavish Manchester home the same year they left the reality show and got two dogs together.
When did Molly and Callum split up?
After three years together, The Sun reported about their breakup in September 2023.
Callum moved out of their shared house and took care of their pug, Winnie.
Molly kept Nelly, their Pomeranian.
The news came as a shock as just months before their split, the couple were reportedly talking about marriage and kids.
Callum told the Daily Mail: “We are perfect. We’ve got two dogs, so we’ve got a proper little family going, it’s lovely.
“There are other things we want to focus on at the minute but obviously in the future it’s definitely something we both want together… We’ve just not really decided when.
“We’re just enjoying things that we’ve got at the minute and then family and marriage will eventually come into it.”
Why did Molly and Callum break up?
The sources close to the couple told DailyMailUK that they broke up because Molly wanted to get engaged and it never happened.
A source told The Sun: “It’s really sad as they were a sweet couple together but it’s over – and has been for a few weeks.
“They’re trying to stay friends – they were together for over three years – but it’s difficult. I think in the end, Molly wanted to get engaged and that didn’t happen.
“Everyone was really surprised when they split as they were perfectly matched.
“He’s now moved out of the home they shared and they’ve split custody of their two dogs.”
The couple never publicly commented on the split.
After their separation, Molly shared a video of her lip-syncing the viral audio which said: “Right now I’m not depressed, I’m just having a little break from slaying.
“Then I’m going to go back to slaying soon. So don’t you worry.”
Callum took a trip to Bali to heal his heartbreak and at the time, he shared: “Day two of the retreat. It’s a pretty chilled out day today, I think we are just going to go out on the scooters.”
In January 2024, Callum and Molly were reunited in the Love Island All Stars villa.
After a rocky start they have since been able to move forward and become friends.
Molly is now enjoying a romance with Tom Clare, while Callum is coupled up with Jess Gale.
