Millie Court and Zac Woodworth split after May 2026 friendship statement
millie court and Zac Woodworth split in May 2026, ending the relationship they built after finishing Love Island: All Stars series three as runners-up. Both said they would stay friends after weeks of rumours about where things stood between them.
Snapchat statements from both finalists
Court said on Snapchat that she and Woodworth both love their lives and their homes, which made a future harder to know. She wrote: "Hey gang, Zac and I both love our lives and our homes, and that makes it harder to know what a future could be, so we’ve agreed that we’d prefer to remain friends x."
She added: "But we have had the best time travelling together since the show, it’s been a whirlwind and I loved every minute x tysm for all your love and support." That places the split inside a relationship that had kept moving across the UK and the USA after the villa, not just a brief post-show run.
Woodworth’s view on the future
Woodworth said the same distance problem in his own statement, writing: "Millie and I have talked about it and both love our lives where we live which makes the future difficult to navigate so we’ve decided we prefer to remain friends!" His note also signaled that the decision was mutual, not a one-sided break.
He added: "HOWEVER we truly have had the best time traveling and experiencing life together after the villa and appreciate all the love and support we felt from yall." He went further on the personal side too, saying: "We’ll always remain good friends and I will always wish nothing but the best for her and forever be in her corner rooting her on".
From the villa to two countries
The pair had spent time together in both the UK and the USA after Love Island: All Stars series three ended, with Court even flying over to America to be with Woodworth after time in the UK. That travel pattern is the clearest clue to why the relationship reached this point: the connection survived the show, but the geography did not get easier.
For viewers who followed them beyond the final, the breakup closes the post-villa chapter while leaving the practical terms simple. They are no longer together, they say they will stay friends, and both are putting the focus back on the lives they already had in separate places.
