Joey Essex And Jessy Potts Split Less Than Two Months After Love Island Season 11; Exploring What Led To Their Breakup

As a devoted fan who has watched every season of Love Island with bated breath, I must admit I am saddened by the news of Joey Essex and Jessy Potts’ breakup. Just when we thought they were destined for a love story straight out of the villa, fate had other plans.


Seven weeks into their relationship, which began after Love Island’s Season 11, Joey Essex and Jessy Potts have decided to end their romance. On Wednesday, September 18, they shared the news of their split in a joint statement released to The Sun.

Joey, aged 34, shared with the media that “Sadly, we’ve chosen to part ways, but I hope we can still stay friends. I sincerely hope Jessy achieves great things in her future endeavors.

Jessy, aged 25, conveyed her appreciation towards everyone who displayed affection towards her and Joey during their stint on the ITV dating reality program. Furthermore, she mentioned her eagerness for the prospects that lie ahead in her future.

According to The Sun, there have been whispers about the pair possibly going their separate ways since leaving the Love Island villa, largely because they rarely appear together in public. At events they’ve attended as a couple, it seems they kept a noticeable distance from each other. Their relationship is said to have hit a rough patch due to conflicting schedules.

According to a reliable tip, it appears Joey is contemplating a shift in his professional path and is planning to join a boxing training facility. There are rumors swirling that he may be negotiating a match against either Tommy Fury, KSI, or Jake Paul in the upcoming year.

Jessy, from what we understand, also had personal obligations that complicated keeping up their relationship for both parties involved.

This past summer, Joey took everyone by surprise as he showed up on Love Island during its Season 11. At first, he paired up with Samantha Kenny, but later developed feelings for Grace Jackson, who he knew prior to the villa. But when Jessy joined the cast, Joey’s interest shifted towards her, and they soon became close friends.

Despite enduring challenges throughout the series, they were eliminated in the last week by their island companions, who raised doubts about their suitability as a pair. Disregarding ongoing speculation about their relationship, Joey and Jessy recently appeared together at the National Television Awards. However, it seems their bond was not destined to last.

Following the conclusion of Love Island Season 11, multiple couples, such as Matilda and Sean, as well as Harriett and Ronnie, have publicly announced their breakups.
