Did Love Island's Ron Hall date Lydia Karakyriakou?

Yes, they revealed their relationship on Instagram in November last year with series nine winner Kai Fagan commenting on the post: "Omg finally a soft launch, so happy you and @lydiakarax have gone official."

However eagle-eyed fans noticed when Love Island All Stars began that they had deleted the picture. Ron and Lydia were both on series nine of Love Island, although Lydia arrived during Casa Amor and Ron was on the show from day one.

While they were on the show together nothing ever happened as Ron stayed loyal to Lana and Lydia had her eyes set on Tom Clare.

Why did Love Island's Ron Hall and Lydia Karakyriakou split?

Nothing is really known about why Ron and Lydia split as it was all handled super lowkey but fans started to spot that they'd split when Lydia posted a TikTok about talking to guys on the dating app Hinge last December.

Ronnie also deleted the post of him and Lydia that seemingly confirmed their relationship but he has kept up a pciture of her in a photo dump dump of pictures captioned: "Well ain’t these just lovely pictures"

Lydia has now stirred up rumours that she could be joining Ron on All Stars. Rumours started the week before the show began when Lydia posted on TikTok, "What plays in my heads when I know info I'm not mean to [island emoji]" and the sound playing over the video is called 'What goes around comes around'. This was then captioned with: "Guess we will see next week."

Then, following Ron appearing on Love Island All Stars, Lydia shared another TikTok captioned: "Practicing my bombshell entrance." While the show has been airing she's been doing daily debrief of each episode, however when she shared this she wrote: "Debreifs on hold for now guys..."

While this was obviously intended to make people think she's going on All Stars, over on her Instagram she has shared behind the scenes snippets of her on holiday in Dubai.

But for now, on Lydia going in as a bombshell we'd say - never say never!
