Jess and Hugo were dumped from Love Island at the same time, but have they continued their romance in the real world? Here's what we know.
The Love Island bubble was popped for Jess White and Hugo Godfroy after they were dumped from the island alongside Blade Siddiqi and Emma Milton in a brutal quadruple dumping.
Jess and Hugo met in Casa Amor 2024 and their relationship continued to flourish in the main villa until they had a chat about how fast, or should we say slow, things were moving.
In a chat on the terrace Hugo mentioned that the flirting they'd experienced in Casa seemed to be slowing down. "Obviously for me, I'm kind of like wanting to get to know you like a little bit deeper than just on that surface level of flirting," Jess replied.
So, now that they are out in the real world, have they managed to progress beyond a few flirts? Here's what we know.
Hugo and Jess are no longer together, becoming the first couple to split after Love Island season 11 wrapped despite watching the final together in Majorca. Hours after returning to the villa to see Mimii and Josh crowned the winners, Jess and Hugo broke up and two days later he was seen kissing 2023 Islander Charlotte Sumner.
They both appeared on Aftersun the day before the final, where they revealed Hugo hadn't 'binned Jess off', despite a public perception that he had after telling Ayo on the show that there was "something missing". Hugo admitted that he "regretted" making the comment, however things weren't meant to be regardless, as they split just two days later.
Hugo shared a statement to his Instagram Stories on Friday 2nd August, two days after he was seen kissing Islander Charlotte. He wrote: “Just to let everyone know Jess and I agreed to go our separate ways after the final in Majorca.
“I’m hoping we can still be friends as we had a great experience together, she’s a lovely girl and I wish her all the best.”
Things seemed off to a good start when they returned to the UK from the villa in the middle of July as they finally got their first date in the real world, even sharing some adorable pics from their romantic night out.
They'd also given a handful of interviews confirming they were dating and taking things slow just a week prior to the photos of Hugo kissing series 10 contestant Charlotte.
