Love Island’s Deji and Lacey split before even having first date amid Coco rumours

Love Island stars Deji Adeniyi and Lacey Edwards have reportedly already called it quits, just weeks after leaving the Majorcan villa together.

Deji, 25, and Lacey, also 25, formed a connection during their time on the show and things appeared to be going well for the couple, but it now appears that they've called time on their budding romance.

Sources claim the pair are "are no longer seeing each other" and that their romance was "basically over before it even began".

Deji, who was one of the six Casa Amor bombshells, has been accused of sleeping with fellow Islander Coco Lodge, 27, but neither have confirmed or denied whether they've spent the night together.

However, the accusations were reportedly the "final straw" for Lacey, who admitted at the Love Island reunion that Deji still hadn't taken her on a date despite the pair being out of the villa for a number of weeks.

An insider told The Sun: “Everyone could tell it was awkward between them at the Reunion after Lacey delivered some home truths. Now they've called it quits and are no longer seeing each other.

"Lacey didn't want to force something that wasn't meant to be and then the rumours about Deji and Coco were the final straw between them."

Deji is yet to respond to a request for comment. Coco's representative declined to comment.

The pair's split comes just days after Lacey outlined her hopes of carrying things on with Deji outside of the villa, and she told the Mirror that they were still "talking every day".

"Me and Deji are FaceTiming and talking every day. It was so nice to see him at the wrap party," the bombshell admitted.

"We really wanna carry on things but right now we're just on different paths. He's at one event and I'm at one event and we're trying – it was so good to see him on Monday. We're still talking and I'll see him tomorrow so many when things calm down a bit.

"I said to him: 'You haven't taken me on a date yet, come on!' But going from that intense environment dating so intensely to coming out to the normal world where it slows down it makes it really strange but I'm hoping he'll take me out soon."

Lacey and Deji were seated together at the Love Island reunion and fans were left cringing when Darren Harriott asked them how things were going between them.

The comedian asked the duo: "You guys look good together. You still going strong?"

Deji, who looked noticeably uncomfortable, then responded: "Yeah, I mean, obviously… we've both been very busy so, she's obviously p***ed I haven't taken her on a first date kind of thing."

Darren then told Deji to "get your act together" which prompted Lacey to say: "You make time for people if you want to, right?"

However, she went on to admit that things were "intense" in the villa and that both she and Deji are "very chill people".
