Molly Marsh and Zachariah Noble Part Ways After Two-Year Love Island Romance
Brace yourself for another reality-TV relationship filing for bankruptcy. Molly Marsh and Zachariah Noble, the lovebirds who turned season 10 of Love Island UK into a canine-friendly housing project, have quietly called time on their on-again, off-again romance. Molly, ever the straight shooter, confirmed the split on her Instagram Story July 9, writing, “Myself and Zac have split up and are no longer together,” then swiftly added there’s “no bad blood”—because nothing says genuine closure like an Instagram PR statement.
Their breakup was as amicable as celebrity splits get: they’ve “parted ways as friends,” Molly insisted, while thanking fans for two years of support. This two-year tenure counts as a verified eternity in reality-star years, which all too often end sooner than your favorite streaming service’s free trial.
Zachariah, 28, opted out of a direct statement but filled the void with a shirtless gym selfie on his own Instagram Story—wireless headphones in place, looking like he’s ready to single-handedly carry his emotional baggage. His caption bragged, “20 minute HIT complete locked the f–k in,” because nothing announces newfound bachelorhood quite like public sweaty flexing.
Fitness has been his post-Molly focus: on July 8 he shared a scale reading of 99.6 KG (about 220 lbs.), celebrating the milestone of dropping 14.6 KG over a year. “Job done,” he wrote, before promising to “crush the next set of goals.” In other words, he’s moving on with the same intensity most people reserve for binging pizza at midnight.
This breakup isn’t exactly groundbreaking for our duo. Seven months after finishing fourth in the villa, they first broke up due to the classic Love Island villain: long distance. They later rekindled, moved in together in August 2024—complete with a rescue pup—and assured OK! magazine they were stronger for it. “Living together was backward,” Molly said, referring to how they first shared a villa before real-world reality struck. Evidently, unpacking boxes is a better test of love than recoupling on a tropical set.
If you’re tracking the Love Island alumni ledger, Millie Court and Liam Reardon patched things up after their own split, even starring in a McDonald’s campaign and hitting Universal Studios. Meanwhile, Cely Vazquez and Johnny Middlebrooks, season two USA pair, officially split in January 2021. Season one winners Zac Mirabelli and Elizabeth Weber, plus runners-up Dylan Curry and Alex Stewart, also added “mutual breakup” to their résumés by late 2019.
